I tried to compile openoffice with USE="java" and the build failed on dev-java/servletapi. Portage is unable to pull tomcat source file http://www.powertech.no/apache/dist//jakarta/tomcat-5/v5.5.20/src/apache-tomcat-5.5.20-src.tar.gz Looks like this file and its location is obsolete. There is no "tomcat*" directory in "jakarta" on any server and the oldest tomcat-5 version available is 5.5.25. I think the ebuild should be updated. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to emerge dev-java/servletapi
This file is in mirror. I emerged this package well...
Why aren't you using gentoo mirrors?
Ok, a bit misconfigured /etc/make.conf (I was pulling files from my local repo, and if one was missing, SRC_URI was used). But the real point here is, that the version in question was so old, that it got removed. Please consider stabilizing more recent version and change SRC_URI by the way.
-SRC_URI="mirror://apache/jakarta/tomcat-5/v${TC_VERSION}/src/apache-tomcat-${TC_VERSION}-src.tar.gz" +SRC_URI="http://archive.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-5/v${TC_VERSION}/src/apache-tomcat-${TC_VERSION}-src.tar.gz" + 10 Mar 2010; Sebastian Pipping <sping@gentoo.org> + servletapi-2.4-r5.ebuild: + Fix SRC_URI (bug #242760) + Fixed, thanks for reporting!
