Ah, I didn't understand the OP correctly. I thought he was just |
| 24 |
looking at the ebuild and trying to download the package manually. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Hum, it looks like that on the mirrors, the file is stored |
| 27 |
as 'download.pl?dmg2img-1.6.tar.gz', which may cause a problem. I |
| 28 |
think you should file a bug! Maybe tell them to change SRC_URI to |
| 29 |
something like |
| 30 |
SRC_URI="http://vu1tur.eu.org/tools/download.pl?${P}.tar.gz |
| 31 |
mirror://gentoo/download.pl%3f${P}.tar.gz" |
| 32 |
So the the link to the version on the mirror works. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Also... another thought. Don't know if it works: |
| 35 |
I vaguely remember something in EAPI-2 that may fix this problem, |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |

| 39 |
It may not get acted on just yet, but it maybe better for the future. |
| 40 |
So perhaps you can try mentioning it in your bug :) |
