I have written that already: can you provide a SHA512 identity of the file? "The same tarball" is not really sufficient. In general, though, for Gentoo-produced distfiles the archive _will_ have to host the files, even if Git provides an "easy" way to deal with that. > What about things hosted on github?

GitHub _used_ to be broken and provide non-stable downloads, but they have since fixed that and the download of a tag will always have the same SHA512 digest, so it's just fine. -- Diego Elio Pettenò — Flameeyes http://blog.flameeyes.eu/
