My system has just automatically installed the 2008a.
And for some reason, without producing any errors, the timezone (/etc/conf.d/clock set to Asia/Tokyo or Etc/GMT+9) is no longer recognized. date command shows simply UTC. The same holds true for 2008b, but on reverting to 2007k, everything goes back to normal.
Isn't this a bug?

I am unable to install this :-(

Łukasz Sowiński: file a new bug

kavol: declare sane mirrors in your make.conf

> kavol: declare sane mirrors in your make.conf

thanks for the answer, but ... isn't that a All Fools' Day joke?

1) http://gentoo.supp.name is the first one for Czech Republic listed at http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/mirrors2.xml - what else can be more "sane"? (since the machine is in Czech Republic)

2) the fallback to upstream source failed, which is clearly a BUG of the ebuild, it should not specify invalid address, no matter of Gentoo mirrors (or at least I am convinced that I've read this within some ebuild guidelines ...)

3) the last error message does not have anything to do with the mirrors, it is a sad thing (read: another BUG) if a system is unable to process a file which was generated by it, and says it is invalid


p.s. it worked for me yesterday late evening (~22:30 CEST)
