I contacted Avago (LSI) some time ago because of the same problem: I could not find link to megacli-package. Avago-support answered MegaCLI is obsolete and not maintained anymore. No new versions can be expected, and bugs will not be fixed. MegaCLI does not even work for new controllers. But MegaCLI is being superseded by new StorCLI package (for some time they have been developed in paralel, now only StorCLI). There is already linux-version (both rpm and deb). Maybe it is time to remove MegaCLI from portage, and add StorCLI instead... StorCLI does not work for some really old controllers, a similar problem exists for LSIUtil. However, what Avago HAS done, is provide pages where you can download WITHOUT a click-through EULA. I have revbumped the ebuild with the new URLs, and removed RESTRICT=fetch |
