Bugzilla Bug 116348

src_unpack() {
        unpack ${A} ; cd ${S}
        epatch ${FILESDIR}/${P}-setsid.patch

        ebegin "Trying to download the latest hddtemp.db file"
        wget -q --timeout=10 http://www.guzu.net/linux/hddtemp.db
        eend $?
}
wget should not be used in src_unpack.  That db file should be in SRC_URI
instead of in src_unpack, so that portage can fetch and digest it properly. 
This also defeats people who use emerge -f to fetch all important files, only
to fail here with no internet connection.

i dont really think this is an issue ... the .db file is constantly updated
upstream, the wget has a small timeout, and if it fails, there is a local (old)
cache to fall back on

As Zac suggested on IRC, put the fetching in pkg_config and inform the user
that they have to run it after installation to fetch the newer db.

The pkg_config idea sounds best to me if this is a moving target.

Spock, any reason not to change it?

The only reason for not changing it earlier was that I've forgotten about this
bug (since it wasn't assinged to me) :)

A fixed ebuild is now in CVS. I didn't want to make any changes in the old
ebuilds, so we'll have to wait for the new one to be marked stable so that
-beta13 can be removed from the tree.
