The ftp server elsie.nci.nih.giv no longer host the source for ebuild sys-libs/timezone-data-2007e and < , (files tzcode2007x.tar.gz and tzdata2007x.tar.gz), only for ebuild sys-libs/timezone-data-2007f (files tzcode2007f.tar.gz and tzdata2007f.tar.gz). Ebuild sys-libs/timezone-data-2007f is masked by keyword "~x86" (and for other archs i think ), current version is sys-libs/timezone-data-2007d. Ebuild timezone-data-2007d is need for some dependency (on my system) : when updating world - after force install of time-data-2007f - downgrade of this ebuild is required. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge --sync (for the last portage tree) 2.emerge --update sys-libs/timezone-data or 2. emerge =sys-libs/timezone-data-2007d Actual Results: Emerge complain because it can't fetch the source files Expected Results: fetching the source files for ebuild, of course ... I actually susccesfully update to timezone-data-2007d : 1. Find an other host. (for example http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/timezone/ host source for sys-libs/timezone-data-2007d and sys-libs/timezone-data-2007e ) 2. Edit /usr/portage/sys-libs/timezone-data/timezone-data-2007x.ebuild : Substitute 'ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/' whith new hosting (for example 'http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/timezone/' ) (2 occurrences) 3. Edit /usr/portage/sys-libs/timezone-data/Manifest for reflecting new hashes sum of the ebuild (NB : i use emerge =sys-libs/timezone-data-2007d for get old and new hash sum, and substitute them in Manifest, but this is not a very smart method ... ) 4. Now emerge can fetch tzcode2007d.tar.gz and tzdata2007d.tar.gz from new host ...
Of course, it is not necessary to do what I made for successfully merge the ebuild, you just need to download the source files (tzcode2007x.tar.gz and tzdata2007x.tar.gz) from another host than ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/ and put it into /usr/portage/distfiles/. I just add the method above for showing how to make a functional ebuild ; the best way for modifying the manifest is to use directly emerge for making ebuild, but I never do that ... In the other hand, I don't know what are 'valid' uri for the source of an ebuild (i.e. for licence or authorization from the mirror ).
Set yourself GENTOO_MIRRORS like everyone else.
Thanks for your sympathic advise, but it is already set ... I'm sorry for my bad english, so I badly explain myself, but this is not a problem with gentoo's mirror, it is a problem with the hosting of the ebuild's source, more precisely the $SRC_URI in ebuild file : How can I set it without editing this file ? Perhaps you can explain me ...
It downloads just fine from Gentoo mirrors, that's why we have them.

ok, I have got it ... sorry for the lack of time ... i didn't understand that my gentoo's mirror seems to be no longer online !
