Could this be fixed in some permanent manner please? It is not really
acceptable to use an unversioned distfile when upstream replaces it all the
time.

Since upstream also forbids that we mirror it, I think it would be best to
contact them and ask them to release it under a properly versioned filename.

same problem here. Is there a workaround ? how can i have googleearth installed
on my computer without bypassing gentoo/portage ?

Version 4.2 is still available here:
http://dl.google.com/earth/client/GE4/release_4_2/GoogleEarthLinux.bin

and likewise v4.3 is here:
http://dl.google.com/earth/client/GE4/release_4_3/GoogleEarthLinux.bin

Does that help?

So, we currently have a package in the tree which currently fails to emerge for
everyone, we have the URLs for each version this package.

This bug could be easily fixed by updating the checksum and changing the
download location.

Also, a googleearth-4.3 ebuild could be made using the same ebuild, since 4.3
install fine right now if the checksums are updated.

Could someone PLEASE spend 15 seconds to fix this bug?

Fixed in CVS. Thanks!

It is not ok this way. This ebuild now installs the latest version of the
program (namely 4.3.7191.6508). Please read Comment #6.

It is still not ok this way. this package is NOT FIXED

please change
