Bug 114215 – SRC_URI in quake4-demo ebuilld points to server that requires human interaction

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Dave Baker 2005-12-01 17:21:27 UTC]

The SRC_URI in quake4-demo/quake4-demo-1.0.ebuild points to
http://www.3ddownloads.com/, which returns an HTML page with a link that pops up
a dialog box to wait in a download queue, which causes the fetch to fail. This
needs to be changed to a location that does not require human interaction, such
as the official ID software mirror
(ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/quake4/demo/quake4-linux-1.0-demo.x86.run),
although this appears to be very busy.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge quake4-demo
Actual Results:  
An HTML page is written to /usr/portage/distfiles/quake4-linux-1.0-demo.x86.run,
and the MD5 checksum sunsequently fails.

Expected Results:  
Portage should fetch the correct file.

This ebuild now should work.
I put i the offical ID mirror and also set up my own file mirror.

Forget to set "MY_P" in link...

Please do not post entire ebuilds for simple fixes.  Instead, post a patch.

Anyway, I've updated the ebuild.  By the way, it doesn't *always* give the
pop-up, only when it is full.
