Bugzilla Bug 105738

When trying to build acx100, it downloads the firmware from the projects site
it
looks like.  "fw.tar.bz2" from "acx100.erley.org" and am getting a file digest
error.  Revision = net-wireless/acx100-0.2.4, probably changed it on the
offical
project page and didn't update the digest in portage yet???  Could you please
fix this, thanx!

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Whenever a new firmware is found, it's added and fw.tar.bz2 is recreated.  I'm
going to create a copy on the server called fw-gentoo-0.2.4.tar.bz2 .  Whenever
a new release is done, just let me know what version you're going to and I'll
bump whatever the latest firmware tarball is to that version.

Ya, I guess it's not really a bug, but didn't know how else to inform anyone. 
Thank you for the reply.

Seems to be changed again (22-Sep-2005).

How about informing upstream that this is bad practice - that they ought to 
use version numbers for their firmware tarballs?

Getting on that right now in fact. 

so what sould we change in the ebuild every time, if this Digest verification
Failed appears?
is there a workaround except waiting until the corrected ebuild enters portage?

oh, sorry i found it.

Well, as the mirror that was, at least originally, being used was never notified
about the use (Bad practice), they couldn't have known that there was any need
to institute proper practice.  To be technical, we're going to pull those
firmware tarballs from that mirror because the current redistribution use is in
violation of our (MY) license with TI (as a card owner).  The mirror that the
firmwares are being pulled from is run by me, btw.  (I went a little over on my
bandwidth this much, 6MB over to be exact)

Looks like the site currently denies to download the firmware. Is there another
mirror available? If one sends the most recent one to me I can mirror it at my
site. I got lots of bandwith per month (250GB or so, no idea, never hit that limit).

Pat Erley: Feel free to contact me to host that file.

Stefan, would you please take care of this issue? It is currently impossible to
merge net-wireless/acx100-2.4 due to a missing download...

acx100-0.3.18 with working server

Hi,

the ACX100 development is a bit chaotic, and gentoo is actually using an
"ancient" version. I fixed it for myself but wasn't aware the driver is in such
a wide use in gentoo land. So here is a new ebuild (works with 2.6.14, too).

See http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=2892823 for success reports.

fixed with 0.3.20

Broken again... Like, can't we mirror the file ourselves if upstream is unable
to use proper versioning? :(

I believe Bug 120478 is a duplicate of this one (or at least addresses the same
issue).

Thanks

I redigested it, thanks.

The download is broken again. You can host the file on my domain. I've ne
bandwitch limit or some thing like that.

Urgh, broken yet again. :-(

use ebuild  version 0.3.31 . This version works for me.

thanks to CyberTerrorist we got a stable mirror.

I created a separate acx-firmware ebuild and renamed acx100 to acx.
acx is now on version 0.3.35.

hi!

what's the acx-firmware ebuild?
some new acx-firmware ?
should i test it?

thanks in advance.

it is just the firmware split out, no functional changes. You should already
use it when you have emerged acx ~arch.
Please leave this bug be, it is RESOLVED, FIXED. Support can take place
