Sourcing from what I wrote here[1], I'd like to get some input on
this part, where context can be gained through reading the
comment on b.g.org:

"I could also ask others in the gnunet project if they'd be
willing to provide svn snapshot releases of certain
branches/projects every n days/weeks"

Is this realistic, and if yes/no may I relay your reply to
bugs.gentoo.org?
This is something I suggested, the first suggestion of gentoo
developer wraeth was to suggest either manual captures saved on
my infrastructure or (preferable I assume) on gentoo
infrastructure.
