Bugzilla Bug 146601

Upgrading from dnetc-2.9008.490 to dnetc-2.9011.497, portage cannot find the
tarball on distributed.net.

Portage tries
http://http.distributed.net/pub/dcti/prerelease/rc/dnetc497-linux-x86-elf-uclibc.tar.gz

but it should use
http://http.distributed.net/pub/dcti/current-client/dnetc-linux-x86-elf-uclibc.tar.gz

(and the package version should be bumped to 2.9012.497)

the latter URL will soon not work anymore and fetch the 2.9013.498 version
instead of the 2.9012.497, while the former does so already.

Well, clearly, it doesn't.

Calculating dependencies... done!

Ah, sorry, I misunderstood your reply. Complex sentence structure is not my
forte.

In that case, would it be a better solution to mirror the dnetc distfiles?

I've attached a patch to the bug at
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=150039 which allows version ~498 to
install.

.498 committed to portage,
thanks for reporting,
sorry for delay.
