this is a quick one. i believe there is a typo in the lisp hyperspec ebuild on line 5: MY_PV=${PV/./-} i think it should be: MY_PV=${PV//./-} the effect of this typo is that portage can't find the hyperspec tar.gz file because MY_PV contains a bad filename. you may also want to change ${PV//./-} to $MY_PV on line 24 (this is what made the typo obvious -- the error message has the correct filename). here is the output when i try to emerge: # emerge hyperspec Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) dev-lisp/hyperspec-7.0 to / >>> checksums files ;-) hyperspec-7.0.ebuild >>> checksums files ;-) files/digest-hyperspec-7.0 >>> Unpacking source... * * The HyperSpec cannot be redistributed.

Thanks for the note. I also took the time to simplify the ebuild and migrate the section in src_unpack() to pkg_nofetch(), also adding mirror and fetch to RESTRICT.
