The pciutils package won't download all sources with emerge -f pciutils, so the
burn-to-cd fails miserably as the build goes online in its src_unpack() 
function

 Solution would  be to move the pciid download to an SRC_URI, even if that
means updating the package more often. (Separate the id's to a separate package
perhaps?)

IMO it should be reverted to the way it was done before. Keep a pci.ids in
${FILESDIR} and in src_unpack wget for a new one with short timeout. If there
is no net connection use the file from ${FILESDIR}.

I must have mixed up the packages, I can't find any ebuild that had the code I
thought it had. However app-addmin/hddtemp is trying to download a updated file
from the net with a spare in ${FILESDIR}.

hmm, Either way its sorta painful "as things are" since the ./update-pciids (I
think thats the name of the script)  did break the update steps.

the id file is 300K+ ... no way that is going into the $FILESDIR

please re-open if someone can come up with a decent solution ... i know the current situation sucks for some :/

tag it with a date & put it on the mirrors or your dev space

the id list gets updated weekly if not more often

Then write a script to do it and stick it on a cron. The vim runtime files are
in a similar situation, we just do semi-regular tarballs for updates...

the ebuild now has a cached version in SRC_URI

if the live-update in src_unpack() fails, it will use the cached version in SRC_URI instead of failing
