Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-01-22 20:16:43 UTC 
Hi,

as per summary your package could use mirror://debian/ rather than pointing directly to ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/, this way if the distfile cannot be found on Gentoo mirrors, the user can still download it from a nearby mirror, if they got it configured (I do).

sed -i -e 's|ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/|mirror://debian/|' would likely do the trick.

Thanks,
Diego

Sadly your suggestion did not do the trick. I used sys-apps/debianutils as an example and switched to

"mirror://debian/pool/unstable/l/${PN}/${P/-/_}.tar.gz".

Thanks for the notice, Diego. (I didn't know you had an interest in HPPA! ;-)
