Indeed, eglibc primarily fetches its sources via svn. It first looks in
the local tarballs dir to see if it was already retrieved, and if not,
reverts to using svn.

The mirror stuff is only for upstreams that provide tarballs.

It might be possible to try the mirror for SVN as well. Care to try
the attached patch, please?

That was not intended for all packages at first, as it seemed complex to
do so. But if the attached patch works as expected, then it was not that
complex, in fact.

It could be made to work for cvs (newlib) as well.
