Subject: [gentoo-portage-dev] Error notification when PORTAGE_BINHOST unreachable?

1 Hi.
2 I'm trying to emerge a binary package I've put on a remote host.
3 Initially I couldn't get the package to emerge:
4
5 amit0 Common # emerge -pvg =app-editors/vim-7.1.266
6
7 These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
8
9 Calculating dependencies -
10 Fetching bininfo from http://package-repo/binpkg
11 cache miss: '0' --- cache hit: '0'
12 ... done!
13
14 emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "=app-editors/vim-7.1.266".
15
16 This happens because the Packages index on the remote host wasn't
17 readable to non-root.
18
19 After I've fixed this, emerge works as-expected:
20
21 amit0 Common # emerge -pvg =app-editors/vim-7.1.266
22
23 These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
24
25 Calculating dependencies... done!
26 [binary N ] app-editors/vim-core-7.1.266 USE="bash-completion nls
27 -acl -livecd"
28 [binary N ] app-editors/vim-7.1.266 USE="bash-completion gpm nls
29 perl python -acl -cscope -minimal -ruby -vim-pager -vim-with-x"
30 [ebuild N ] app-vim/gentoo-syntax-20090220 USE="-ignore-glep31" 18 kB
31
32 Total: 3 packages (3 new), Size of downloads: 18 kB
33
34 Is the "cache miss: '0' --- cache hit: '0'" message suppose to indicate
35 the error in fetching binpkg data? Is it considered at-all an error? If
36 so, I'd suggest a more-clear error message.
37
38 Thanks,
39 Amit
