Re: [gentoo-amd64] Re: simulating apt-get on gentoo

Sorry to come back to this.
I have a working ebuild, in the sense that I can install/remove using
emerge, however the NXT client crashes a few second after starting
with no error message.
I don't expect you to help with the crash.

The links you gave for Packages & the .deb file are still working but
the Release one is not.
I've tried
wget http://content.runescape.com/a=946/downloads/ubuntu/trusty/Release
wget https://content.runescape.com/a=946/downloads/ubuntu/trusty/Release
wget https://content.runescape.com/downloads/ubuntu/trusty/non-free/Release
All give 404 not found.

I'm after a way to tell if they have bumped the version number,
because its not on their download page.
