Description Qiangning Hong 2005-11-09 22:43:08 UTC
The winpdb-1.0.6.tar.bz2 in the mirror sites (my mirror site is
http://ftp.gentoo.or.kr/) doesn't match with the release of official site
(http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/winpdb/winpdb-1.0.6.tar.gz?download).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. download the official release tarball from
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/winpdb/winpdb-1.0.6.tar.gz?download
2. copy the downloaded winpdb-1.0.6.tar.gz to /usr/portage/distfiles/
3. emerge "=dev-python/winpdb-1.0.6"

Actual Results:  
emerge failed with the following message:
!!! Digest verification Failed:
!!!    /usr/portage/distfiles/winpdb-1.0.6.tar.gz
!!! Reason: Failed on MD5 verification


Expected Results:  
It should emerge smoothly.

The tarball contains two scripts: _winpdb.py and _rpdb2.py.  These two files
contained in the tarball downloaded from gentoo mirror sites are in DOS format,
which cannot execute in linux. The ebuild creates its own version of _winpdb.py
instead of copy from the ${S} to make a *NIX version script.  So I believe it is
because the upstream author noticed he included wrong version of scripts in the
release tarball, and changed the tarball without giving it a new release version
number.

Hi Qiangning,

Yes, I mailed the author about the DOS line-endings and he changed the tarballs.
I've fixed rpdb2.py's line-endings in the new ebuild. That was the problem in
bug# 112042, I believe. If that works for you, please let me know in that bug
and I'll close it.

Thanks
