I'd advise against this. The problem is clearly with the download, so |
| 9 |
why go without a perfectly good program for a while since there's |
| 10 |
nothing the currently installed version could do to cause this. Either |
| 11 |
the ebuild is screwed (wrong file size/digest/location), or the distfile |
| 12 |
is wrong. |

I'm getting the same thing with mplayer. For me it happened last |
| 15 |
night, but I hadn't synced in a couple of days. I've also been hit by a |
| 16 |
similar issue with qt-x11-opensource-src-4.1.4.tar.gz of |
| 17 |
x11-libs/qt-4.1.4 (see http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149809 |
| 18 |
that someone filed). |

Am the only one who has been seeing this rather frequently lately. It |
| 21 |
used to be that I'd never see anything like this a year ago. A couple |
| 22 |
months ago was my first experience with this kind of issue, and now I'm |
| 23 |
seeing it a few times a month to twice in one night. I do not redigest |
| 24 |
due to the security concerns, so it's getting real annoying having to |
| 25 |
"--skipfirst" on up to the three Gentoo machines I run, then wait 1 to 3 |
| 26 |
days for things to get fixed. This is especially true when it's an |
| 27 |
ebuild not installed on my headless server/local rsync mirror. In those |
| 28 |
cases I have to rsync the mirror, then the "problem" system to see if |
| 29 |
the issue has been resolved. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Most of these cases don't generate a thread in the newsgroup, and the |
| 32 |
qt issue above is the first time I've found a bug filed about it. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
I don't want to sound like I'm ranting, but the issue seems to be |
| 35 |
getting worse, and has security implications. At this point even I'm |
| 36 |
tempted to just redigest as soon as I see this, especially if it's a new |
| 37 |
install of the program that I want to try out. I know there are a whole |
| 38 |
lot of people out there who either don't care about redigesting, or |
| 39 |
worse, don't know it's a really bad idea. All it takes is one incident |
| 40 |
where a distfile gets replaced and we end up with good number of owned |
| 41 |
boxes out there. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
Just my 2 cents, |
