[Comment 1 solar (RETIRED) 2006-02-23 16:48:19 UTC]

The following two packages from the list do not have metadata files and thus 
unknown maintainers.

Package: app-admin/flexlm
ChangeLog: 4 chrb, 1 mr_bones_, 1 eradicator, 1 wormo, 1 swegener,

Package: dev-lang/fpc
ChangeLog: 7 chriswhite, 3 carlo, 3 agriffis, 2 herbs, 1 gustavoz, 1 dholm, 1 vanquirius, 1 beu

Not sure how we want to pick the lucky winner to fix the those two.
Everyone else for the other packages are accounted for on the CC: list.

[Comment 2 solar (RETIRED) 2006-02-24 15:36:30 UTC]

Time to make some noise. Ok guys If you are on the CC: of this mail it 
means you have packages in the tree right now which have digest files
that directly conflict with another file using the same filename as you.

$DISTDIR and the mirrors use a flat namespace for all the files 
therefore any hopes of these conflicts working themselves out are slim
to none.

What you should do. Find the filename of the pkg in question and upload
it to distfiles-local/ on toucan with a NEW filename (versioned perhaps)
Then update/redigest any ebuilds depending on the old conflicting filenames.

dev-libs/cyrus-sasl is done in the seperate bug. remove from CC list.

[Comment 4 Robin Johnson 2006-02-24 18:20:54 UTC]

This qmail entry is invalid.
mail-mta/qmail-mysql:
  qmail-maildir++.patch:
    mail-mta/qmail-mysql/files/digest-qmail-mysql-1.03-r13
    mail-mta/qmail/files/digest-qmail-1.03-r15

We use the SAME patch on both qmail packages - keeping two copies of it just with different names doesn't make sense.

Please revise your test code to check for size/digests of the files as well as the filename.

[Comment 5 Ciaran McCreesh 2006-02-24 18:34:53 UTC]

We check the MD5. The MD5 on those two patches is different, hence the problem. There's nothing wrong with sharing the same file between multiple packages.

[Comment 7 Robin Johnson 2006-02-24 19:11:46 UTC]

hmm, it should be identical. I'll look into it, thanks.

[Comment 8 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) 2006-02-25 11:24:22 UTC]

acroread-asianfonts cannot be mirrored and upstream does not version these. we already have RESTRICT="nomirror" and acroread-asianfonts stable version is p.mask as well. 

[Comment 9 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) 2006-02-25 11:29:25 UTC]

just to be clear, acroread-asianfonts-5.0 is p.mask'ed and will disappear from portage soon. acroread-asianfonts-7.0 will become the new stable and has RESTRICT="nomirror".

[Comment 10 Michael Hanselmann (hansmi) (RETIRED) 2006-02-27 02:24:34 UTC]

qmail stuff fixed.

[Comment 11 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2006-03-30 14:03:23 UTC]

*** Bug 123927 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

[Comment 12 Stuart Herbert (RETIRED) 2006-04-01 09:09:10 UTC]

We can't and don't mirror the nxserver binaries, and upstream does not version the different RPMs for the different editions.

The perforce packages are in need of a new maintainer.  I'll put out a call for one.

Best regards,
Stu

[Comment 13 Jon Hood (RETIRED) 2006-05-18 20:15:59 UTC]

p2p done; all digests are the same now for the files; sorry for the delay.

[Comment 14 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2006-12-03 07:05:06 UTC]

nx-* stuff is Bug 123926; closing this.
