There's more than one set of packages with this. |

|
| 10 |
There is only one set in the tree that don't use a workaround of some |
| 11 |
sort (the NX stuff). |

A quick hacked up grepping indicates that the following packages use the |
| 14 |
trick of having the user rename the file after downloading it. |
| 15 |
dev-java/ibm-jdk-bin |
| 16 |
dev-java/ibm-jre-bin |
| 17 |
dev-java/jdbc2-oracle |
| 18 |
dev-java/jdbc3-oracle |
| 19 |
sci-chemistry/platon |
| 20 |
There might be others, but I'm not looking too hard at the moment. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
And I know I've used it in the past when upstream has been unreliable in |
| 23 |
naming distfiles (eg they did thank me and add the major version portion |
| 24 |
to the filename, but not the minor version, and still changed the |
| 25 |
download once a week). |
