Description Robert Turnbull 2006-01-09 19:11:44 UTC

g'day,

I just tried emerging gmt and it didn't work. I think that's because the gmt-4.0 file is not longer on the ftp site (see ftp://ftp.soest.hawaii.edu/gmt/4/). I think only gmt-4.1 is available. If you use the same ebuild as gmt-4.0 but call it gmt-4.1 then it works no problem.

OK I have been in touch with one of the authors (Paul Wessel) who has given us permission to mirror the GMT 4 files and pointed out one of the mirrors still has all the files. So I have updated the ebuild with the new mirror and removed the nomirror from the ebuild. Please resync in about an hour and it should work. I will also be bumping to 4.1 as soon as I have had the chance to test it out (released 5 January causing this problem indirectly).
