I found eject on my own and put in distfiles... then emerged, but I'm |
| 21 |
having several failures with emerge not finding pkgs. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Did that with several other packages as well. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
I have several mirrors listed in /etc/make.conf but in some cases it |
| 26 |
seems emerge tries only one and when it fails... emerge just stops. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Isn't it supposed to walk thru all my list of mirrors? Or is there |
| 29 |
something I have to set to make that happen? |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
I've even hit a few (fonts) where the downloaded package does not |
| 32 |
match the size emerge expects... again it just fails instead of trying |
| 33 |
the other hosts in the list. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
I don't think I've ever seen a failure on size from a listed mirror before. |
