!!! povuni_s.tgz: message digests do not match!

Comment 1 Philip Walls (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-03-27 06:21:28 UTC
Hi, I just cleared out my distfiles and /var/tmp/portage folders, and after fetching the povray archive again, the correct digest is in fact:

bac59e7a86172a5bd0c63af2516e7045

Can you manually download the file in the SRC_URI into your distfiles directory and see if this helps?
Comment 2 Pär Karlsson 2003-03-27 06:36:47 UTC
I did the same thing yesterday. The Gentoo mirrors still carry the old povuni_s.tgz file (which contains povray-3.50a) and AFAIK only www.povray.org has the latest "right" version for which the md5sum digest is correct.
 I have written a request for the POV-Ray developers on the news.povray.org server to change the naming of the source tarball into a versioning scheme, and others has done the same as well. This would make things much easier.
Comment 3 Peter Ruskin 2003-03-27 07:34:25 UTC
OK, that did it.  BTW, the SRC_URI="ftp://ftp.povray.org/pub/povray/Official/Unix/povuni_s.tgz" is a symlink to ftp://ftp.povray.org/pub/povray/Official/Linux/povuni_s.tgz
Comment 4 Pär Karlsson 2003-03-27 08:29:38 UTC
In the future, would it be possible to change the name of the tarballs on the Gentoo mirrors to reflect the version being used, and have some other means of downloading/renaming/verifying the povuni_s.tgz file from www.povray.org? The POV team seem reluctant to changing the naming scheme at this time.
Comment 5 Tom Molesworth 2003-03-27 08:54:12 UTC
any chance this could be masked out in portage? it'll break "emerge -u world" for most people without manual intervention... either that, or have the updated povuni_s.tgz on the mirrors?
Comment 6 Arthur Chan 2003-03-27 11:41:42 UTC
I'm confirming malverian's bug.
Same exact problem.
Comment 7 Philip Walls (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-03-27 14:40:55 UTC
I've mirrored the new povray tarball with the rest of the gentoo mirrors, could take some time to propagate, but hopefully this will resolve any problems.

Comment 9 Ian Smith 2003-03-28 05:30:20 UTC
The UK mirror service now has
http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/distfiles/povuni_s_3.1.tgz

but portage wants:
http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/distfiles/povuni_s.tgz

so it's still broken.
Comment 10 Todd Geders 2003-03-31 13:49:29 UTC
Also, it seems that it is not calculating dependancies correctly for my gentoo 1.2 machine (w/gcc 2.95.3)...I've got 3.50a installed, and it claims to want to update to 3.50c despite it requiring gcc 3.2 for that...

bash-2.05b# emerge -u povray (also happens with emerge -u world)
....

Comment 11 Martin Holzer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-03-31 13:56:26 UTC
emerge can't just upgrade to gcc 3.x 

wanna do so ? please read
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/new-upgrade-to-gentoo-1.4.xml
Comment 12 Philip Walls (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-04-09 16:40:17 UTC
I think all issues with this package have been dealt with, if anyone still has problems, feel free to reopen.
Comment 13 Todd Geders 2003-04-10 12:06:43 UTC
I still think this ebuild should have correct dependancy checking for which version of gcc someone has installed.  Here's how (I think) it should work:

If user has gcc 2.95.3 (GENTOO 1.2), then emerge -u world should NOT show this povray-3.50c because it absolutely needs gcc 3.2...this causes ALL emerge -u world commands to fail if the user already has 3.50a installed

If user has gcc 3.2 (GENTOO 1.4), then emerge -u world should show 3.50c as latest available.

Upgrading to 1.4 is not always possible...I'm not asking for someone to make povray work on a 2.95.3 machine, just to make the ebuild work as it should.

Can't reopen bug b/c I'm not owner, but I would like to..
Comment 14 Martin Holzer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-04-10 12:14:27 UTC
gentoo-1.2 is fixed through portage.mask
