Subject: [gentoo-dev] ebuild for gimp-glogo, wierd SRC_URI

1 I'm attempting to create an ebuild for gimp-glogo, a plug-in for
2 creating Linux boot logos. The SRC_URI is
3 "http://registry.gimp.org/file/glogo-1.3.tar.gz?action=download", which
4 causes a multitude of problems.
5
6 It downloads and save the tarball as
7 /usr/portage/distfiles/glogo-1.3.tar.gz?action=download, which causes
8 the unpack stage to fail with "file format not recognized".
9
10 I could simply mirror the file at my website, but it seems to me there
11 should be a way around this. Any hints?
12
13 Thanks,
