Description Anthony Ryan 2014-03-17 05:16:56 UTC
It appears as though LSI has pulled the URLs for all of the ebuilds currently in the tree, they now result in a generic landing page with no way to find the correct file.

That happens every now and then, I remember "fixing" the download URIs at least two times ...

Can you locate a current (and preferrably stable) download URI ?

Going through LSI's stuff and their basic support system I was only able to find http://www.lsi.com/downloads/Public/Nytro/downloads/Nytro%20XD/MegaCli_Linux.zip so far.

This is not suited for ebuilds because it's supposedly the URL for the "latest" version of MegaCli for Linux, and the content can then be expected to change.

At the same time, while this URL is supposed to be the latest, it contains 8.07.08 rather than the 8.07.10 that is stable in the portage tree.

I will resume my search for a better URL as soon as time allows.

The LSI support staff were useless as usual, confirming that the old URIs broke and providing no real assistance otherwise. Some searching did turn up what appears to be the new URI pattern:

http://www.lsi.com/downloads/Public/RAID%20Controllers/RAID%20Controllers%20Common%20Files/8.07.14_MegaCLI.zip

All versions in the portage tree do not seem to be available anywhere however.

On a slightly more positive note, this ZIP also contains a FreeBSD binary that may be useful for the Gentoo/FreeBSD project, if they were interested in this ebuild.
