Bug 10003 – cannot download ebuild attachment

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Infrastructure

[Description jochem prins 2002-10-31 05:24:36 UTC]

Every single time i attempt to download the cplay ebuild #7806 mozilla displays
a download window and wants to save the attachment.cgi file. When i tried to
save it, i only got an empty file. Renaming the file from attachment.cgi to
cplay.ebuild didn't make any difference at all.

Problems with the following browsers:
mozilla: 1.0.1
netscape communicator: 4.79

is this still a issue ?

This problem still seems to be valid for me and other users.

gentoo-profile: 1.2
portage: 2.0.45-r5
gcc: 2.95.3-r7
arch: ~x86

This is because the file was a tbz2 as seen by Spanky's example. Please report 
the bug owner before reporting to us on issues like this.
