Bugzilla Bug 76092

'emerge attr-2.4.19.ebuild' fails because it cannot download the source from
the following ftp address:
ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/download/cmd_tars/attr-2.4.19.src.tar.gz

An alternative would be to use the source in:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/sorcerer/sources/attr/2.4.19/attr-2.4.19.src.tar.bz2

You can update the ebuild with the new address by replacing line #9 in
attr-2.4.19.ebuild with the following line:
SRC_URI="http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/sorcerer/sources/attr/2.4.19/${P}.src.tar.bz2"

(Sorry for not preparing a patch, but I haven't yet mastered diff ;)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/download/cmd_tars/attr-2.4.19.src.tar.gz
2. Download fails

Actual Results:  
ebuild failed 

Expected Results:  
Replace line #9 in attr-2.4.19.ebuild with the following line: 
SRC_URI="http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/sorcerer/sourc

Patch that changes download location for sys-apps/attr-2.4.19.ebuild

Changes download location for ebuild attr-2.4.19. Patch may be applied to
sys-apps/attr-2.4.19.ebuild .

No no no, sorry, we do not rely on the distfiles for another linux
distribution.  A better link would be: 
ftp://gentoo.mirrors.pair.com/distfiles/attr-2.4.19.src.tar.gz

If you ran into this problem, you have not set your make.conf file with mirror
sites correctly.  Please fix it.  There is never any reason to depend on the
upstream package's site if we do our jobs properly, and in this case, we did. 
Gentoo has that distfile on all of our mirrors.

In any case, I expect that SGI will fix this problem upstream.  It is a problem
with their main ftp site, but the also provide a mirror, which is fine.  The
ebuild has been adjusted.

their mirrors are broken atm

removed the nomirror restriction and added back in the original src_uri ...
gentoo mirrors have this file now

Created an attachment (id=47239) [edit]
/etc/make.conf with GENTOO_MIRRORS set (possibly buggy)

Setting GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://gentoo.ccccom.com http://gentoo.seren.com/gentoo
ftp://ftp.ndlug.nd.edu/pub/gentoo/ http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo
http://gentoo.osuosl.org http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo"
in my /etc/make.conf file doesn't seem to fix the downloading problem.

Thank you for letting me know that I did not have mirrors selected. I have
uncommented the GENTOO_MIRRORS keyword in my /etc/make.conf (which I have
attached) and I have included the following nearby mirrors, as determined by
mirrorselect:
ftp://gentoo.ccccom.com http://gentoo.seren.com/gentoo
ftp://ftp.ndlug.nd.edu/pub/gentoo/ http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo

I also left in the default mirrors:
http://gentoo.osuosl.org http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo

After saving the changes in /etc/make.conf, I ran 'emerge acl', which gave me
the following output:

Do you know what might be wrong?
Thanks a lot!

you need to `emerge sync` first

Thanks, after doing 'emerge sync', it worked flawlessly.
