Bugzilla Bug 119689

Filesize of http://distfiles.gentoo.org/distfiles/GMT_share.tar.bz2 is
3662062 Bytes but (according to ftp://ftp.soest.hawaii.edu/gmt/) it have
to be:

 - for GMT version 3: 3661321 Bytes
 - for GMT version 4: 3661351 Bytes

Otherwise the installation will fail with:

>>> md5 files   ;-) files/digest-gmt-4.1
>>> md5 src_uri ;-) GMT4.0_progs.tar.bz2

!!! Digest verification Failed:
!!!    /usr/portage/distfiles/GMT_share.tar.bz2
!!! Reason: Filesize does not match recorded size

Well, this is completely FUBAR and cannot work at all. How is this stuff
supposed to work with different file sizes for various versions using identical
tarball names?

The only thing it produces here is a nifty traceback:

There was no particular reason to keep the old version in portage - everyone
should have transitioned by now. It seems they silently changed the share
tarball on their servers before ours mirrored the files. In future I will have
to create versioned tarballs to reflect their apparently unversioned yet
changing tarballs.

I only recently obtained permission to mirror the files on our infrastructure
and the issue with version 3 had not hit home. If anyone has any ideas for a
better solution I would be interested, otherwise I will do as I have said above
with their next release.

Hopefully this has fixed any immediate issues. Please reopen if it has not.

Thanks this works fine.
I'm not sure if anyone uses version 3.x of this tool.
I used this version once but this was about 7 years ago.
