Hi all, |

While working on an ebuild I noted that that while downloading distfiles |
| 4 |
from the mirrors I ended up with files filled with 404 HTML pages. It |
| 5 |
became clear soon, that curl was just downloading these pages and |
| 6 |
returned 0 to indicate success. After a discussion with 2r2d in #-osx |
| 7 |
we came to the conclusion that curl needs the -f (-fail) flag in order |
| 8 |
to return something like this on a 404: |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404 |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
I tested this in my FETCHCOMMAND (I put the -f just in front of the -#) |
| 13 |
and verified that with this flag curl behaves as portage expects it and |
| 14 |
goes on to the next mirror if the file was not found. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
I think this change should be into our installer, as it is a simple fix |
| 17 |
which prevents some hair-pulling :) |
