Thanks for the packages; yes, there is an easier way to deal with this problem. |

Portage makes it easy to override the default values for $S: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
S=${WORKDIR}/aria-0.10.1test3 |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
...and, you would also specify the real archive name in $SRC_URI: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
SRC_URI="http://www.foo.bar.com/aria-0.10.1test3.tar.gz" |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
This way, the ebuild can be named "aria-0.10.1_pre3.ebuild" and everything |
| 19 |
will work. BTW, naming the ebuild in the way you did is the right approach. :) |
