I would like to know why nwn (never winter night) has fetching disabled. I had to enable it in the emerge:S.
Is there some kind of (legal) reason for this or is this just oops.

The ebuild is supposed to have the ability to fetch the nwnresources tarball from our mirroring system. It should still be able to download the tarball from the SRC_URI. If it's not, that's probably a bug and should be reported on bugs.gentoo.org.

The reason we do not allow that file on our mirrors is simply because of its size. At 1.2GB, it's over twice as large as the next largest file and is something that our mirroring system simply cannot accommodate.

It is still a bug.
