14 I am able to reproduce the failure - the server issues a self-signed
15 certificate which isnt accepted by portage. Quick solution: download mpfi
16 yourself - go into your distfiles directory (usually /usr/portage/distfiles) and
17 type
18
19 wget --no-check-certificate \
20 http://gforge.inria.fr/frs/download.php/22256/mpfi-1.4.tar.gz
21
22 which will manually download the tarball. You will then be able to resume the
23 merge. I will try to fix the problem but first have to find out the right
24 solution.
25
26 Does anyone on the list know how to deal with self signed certificates ?
