You can work around the download problem by downloading the source by |
| 2 |
hand from somewhere (not the main location for the source is usually |
| 3 |
listed in the ebuild file) and putting it into /usr/portage/distfiles |

I do not suppose that this is news to anyone but sourceforge's mechanism |
| 17 |
to make you download from a mirror is causing problems with .ebuilds |
| 18 |
that reference files there. |

Also, a question, does emerge and friends always try to download from |
| 21 |
www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/distfiles first? If so, any corrupted files |
| 22 |
stored there (like rep-gtk-0.15.tar.gz at the moment I write this) will |
| 23 |
toast any emerge. It would be nice if emerge had a problem with the |
| 24 |
download, gunzipping, or digest check it would try another source and |
| 25 |
throw away the bad one. Along with some kinda warning at the end so it |
| 26 |
can be reported as well. |
