Today I downloaded the file GoogleEarthLinux.bin containing version 4.2.205.5730, moved it into /usr/portage/distfiles and run "emerge -a googleearth" successfully with the ebuild which name indicates an older software version. Reproducible: Always
Yeah, you can try to explain upstream that they should use less idiotic filename for distributing this stuff, so far every effort there failed. It was redigested without actually changing the version recently, because upstream broke the manifest once again due to this ingenious file naming. [1] This thing plain shouldn't be stable and preferably shouldn't be in the tree at all. [1] http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/x11-misc/googleearth/Manifest?r1=1.40&r2=1.41
welp: why didnt you bump the version number when fixing the digest? Really now that portage deletes incorrect distfiles it makes sense because it signals a new version to the user. I just assumed that I get bugs about digest failures again and can bump it for new versions .. but havent thought of those devs! Sorry
