Hi! There is something very weird about the latest nvram-wakeup ebuild The digest verification fails on the latest nvram-wakeup-mb.c, but this is not the weird part. Apparently, there is nothing wrong with the file when donwloaded directly from the URL in the URL field of this bug. But looking in the file produced by this ebuild and portage, it seems the beginning has been replaced by some 'ls' aoutput from someone's Debian box. Downloading the file by hand (from the very same URL) and replacing "/usr/portage/distfiles/nvram-wakeup-mb.c?revision=863" with it, digest verification no longer fails and allows emerge to continue. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: (delete "/usr/portage/distfiles/nvram-wakeup-mb.c?revision=863" first to be sure you start from a clean table) 1. emerge nvram-wakeup Actual Results: The digest verification fails. less "/usr/portage/distfiles/nvram-wakeup-mb.c?revision=863" -> garbage at the start of file Expected Results: The file should be downloaded correctly Downloading the file by hand from the URL and putting the file in the distfiles works around this problem.
Actually, there's something wrong with how portage uses wget (or something), I think - I know nothing about portage's internals so I really don't know what is happening here. However, here's what I get for output from 'emerge portage': >>> Emerging (1 of 1) sys-power/nvram-wakeup-0.97_p863 to / >>> Downloading 'http://trumpetti.atm.tut.fi/gentoo/distfiles/nvram-wakeup-mb.c?revision=863' --13:38:59-- http://trumpetti.atm.tut.fi/gentoo/distfiles/nvram-wakeup-mb.c?revision=863 => `/usr/portage/distfiles/nvram-wakeup-mb.c?revision=863' Resolving trumpetti.atm.tut.fi... 130.230.54.100, 2001:708:310:54::2 Connecting to trumpetti.atm.tut.fi|130.230.54.100|:80... connected.

But also I'm quite confused what is happening here =).
<snip> Warning: wildcards not supported in HTTP. </snip> This is not a valid SRC_URI, really can't assume that mirrors will handle such stuff. RESTRICT="primaryuri" could work, but then again, no guarantee that all SF mirrors will handle this either.
wrong ... there's a reason it says "warning", it's because wget assumes you're trying to use * like a wildcard, not like part of the URI
looks like it's a matter of ftp hating the ? i'll just restrict the mirror
