Description Christoph Mende (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-03-24 15:38:42 UTC
!!! Couldn't download 'RealPlayer-10.0.8.805-20060718.i586.rpm'. Aborting.

seems like the file moved to:
https://helixcommunity.org/download.php/2151/realplay-10.0.8.805-linux-2.2-libc6-gcc32-i586.bin

I agree that the SRC_URI has changed but the URI suggested by the bug reporter does not work for me either. It seems this needs more work than a simple URI change, people from helixcommunity may have changed the whole download process..
Comment 2 Jonathan Millett 2007-03-27 20:55:52 UTC
This SRC_URI worked for me:
https://helixcommunity.org/projects/player/files/download/2152

Unfortunately, seems to be a directory which then returns the rpm file 'RealPlayer-10.0.8.805-20060718.i586.rpm'.

2152 is not a good name.  Is there any way to override the filename part of the SRC_URI so that a proper local filename can be used?
Comment 3 Sebastian Flothow 2007-03-28 16:51:16 UTC
It's unfortunate that wget doesn't honor the file name transmitted in the HTTP headers - of course there is the -O option to wget, but using this would probably require changes to portage itself.
As a kludge, one could use an URL such as https://helixcommunity.org/projects/player/files/download/2152?RealPlayer-10.0.8.805-20060718.i586.rpm .

Please note that
https://helixcommunity.org/projects/player/files/download/2152?RealPlayer-10.0.8.805-20060718.i586.rpm
will course be downloaded as
2152?RealPlayer-10.0.8.805-20060718.i586.rpm
and not as
RealPlayer-10.0.8.805-20060718.i586.rpm

(shouldnt be much of a problem, however)

What about kindly asking helix to change their download links back to sth better again?
Comment 6 Christoph Mende (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-16 18:30:32 UTC
What about adding RESTRICT="fetch" until this is resolved?
Comment 7 Steve Dibb (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-18 13:01:26 UTC
Temporarily fixed, as it's being mirrored on our servers until I can figure something better out, probably contacting upstream.
Comment 8 Steve Dibb (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-08-25 14:04:22 UTC
Switched to fetch restriction
