 |

First, what's the general best process to follow when picking mirrors? I've heard to pick mirrors within or close to your region, but how many? What types (ie http, https, ftp, rsync)?
Second, does anybody know any good mirrors for Go related packages? Anytime I've tried to emerge anything depending on them (opensnitch, gomuks) it's been an utter crapshoot finding mirrors that have what I need and don't just regurgitate 404s over and over. |

With portage. I'm a noob so I don't understand exactly what's going on, but I assume portage is pulling in some go stuff for building the package that aren't 'dependencies'? ie. when I went to emerge gomuks (from guru:: if that's important), gomuks was the only package to be emerged (as in no dependencies) and yet there were a bunch of go related things needing to be downloaded by portage, according to emerge.log. Are these something different from dependencies? Part of the source code, maybe? Forgive my ignorance.
Also, FYI for anybody who stumbles onto this thread looking for mirrors with these modules(?), I managed to emerge both opensnitch and gomuks with the following mirror:
| Code: | GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://tux.rainside.sk/gentoo/ \
ftp://tux.rainside.sk/gentoo/" |
This also happened to be the one mirror pulled in by the mirrorselect command above. |

Hmm, I see. For the time being it seems I'm best to manually pick my mirrors with the help of https://mirrorstats.gentoo.org
Grabbed a few of the bigger, healthier ones and managed to get everything I needed! |

portage does use ebuilds https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Ebuild to describe what needs to be done for a software package. It does download all the resources needed befor any compilation or installation.
The gomuks https://github.com/gentoo/guru/blob/master/net-im/gomuks/gomuks-0.3.0.ebuild ebuild does list additional go dependencies which the package itself needs and downloads them with the go "package manager". The syntax for those additional go modules is a URL where the sources will be downloaded from.
So a ebuild will be downladed from gentoo mirrors and all the needed dependencies are downloaded elsewhere.

| Ah, I see. So they are dependencies, but just handled differently (ie. I assume they just sit in distfiles with the source and aren't "installed" like a library emerged through portage would). Thanks for clearing that up. |

The only solution I found if go deps can't be find in most mirrors is to comment GENTOO_MIRRORS in make.conf. Removing mirrors speeds up downloading because it connects to goproxy.io which has all needed files. Any ideas how to make portage download go mods from goproxy.io first?

| My understanding differs. GENTOO_MIRRORS lets Portage find Gentoo-operated mirrors that host copies of the distfiles required by ebuilds. Disabling GENTOO_MIRRORS forces Portage to go straight to upstream, putting a greater load on the upstream SRC_URI servers. This is discouraged, since the mirrors should have distfiles for all in-tree ebuilds. |

Sorry, my bad.  Corrected my post.
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Infrastructure/Mirrors/Source
| Quote: | | Source (or "distfile") mirrors distribute the source archives for the software included in Gentoo as well as stages and tree snapshots for installation. |
But go dependencies are not available in the distfile mirror. At least at the last time I've checked.
Go dependencies (not the gentoo package install dependencies) are described in the code itself and than installed / resolved with the https://pkg.go.dev/cmd/go#hdr-Add_dependencies_to_current_module_and_install_them command. This command is run while building the go application.

| If the dependency is listed in SRC_URI, then I would expect it to be on the mirrors. If the dependency is not listed in SRC_URI, then it should be a supporting package and brought in via DEPEND / RDEPEND. In no case should the ebuild use go get nor allow the build system to go get anything, since that undermines reproducibility by trusting that the network is always available and always serves the same content. |
