Description Kevin Pyle 2012-04-07 20:32:47 UTC
Currently, all versions app-doc/doxygen in the tree specify SRC_URI="ftp://ftp.stack.nl/pub/users/dimitri/${P}.src.tar.gz" as the sole path for the main tarball.  This is problematic for users who are behind firewalls which restrict ftp access.  According to the page at the root of that host <http://ftp.stack.nl/>:

"This webserver includes all the data that is available through anonymous ftp on this machine as well."

I confirmed this by fetching http://ftp.stack.nl/pub/users/dimitri/doxygen-1.7.6.1.src.tar.gz and comparing it to the Portage-provided digests.  It matched.  Please consider changing SRC_URI to specify an http: download in addition to, or instead of, an ftp: download, since it is rare to find a user with ftp and no http, but somewhat more common to find a user with http and no ftp.

Sorry it took so long. Somehow this bug escaped my radar...
