Description ta2002 2007-03-25 09:51:39 UTC
Yes, I know the source URL in the ebuild points to the home page, and
not mirror://gentoo, but clods like me (who often manually download
source files) check for the gentoo mirrors first (much faster), and
this one caught me.

Nothing major, but I would never EXPECT to see a bad source file on
the gentoo mirrors. I think that someone should either put the correct
file there, or at least delete the bad file so that people HAVE to
retrieve it from a good source.

That's what you get when upstream messes up with released tarballs (Bug 171924)

4.21 stable now... nothing to be done here.

Not stable on every architechture, but regardless, I don't see the point of keeping a bad tarball on the Gentoo infrastructure. How hard can it be to just delete it (the 4.20 ebuild is still in portage the last time I checked)?
