The vmware workstation 4 ebuild is poorly designed in that it is trying to grab an update file for the 2.5/2.6 kernels when I have a 2.4 kernel. The update file has also been incremented to ..-38, so the -37 file no longer exist on the servers. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
the reporter made a poorly designed bug when he forgot to `emerge sync` first also, said file is only 174663 bytes this highlights a limitation of portage not the ebuild
Actually, I did do an emerge sync, and the problem was still there. And ebuilds can be designed with different SRC-URIs based on external variables, see my latest ac-sources ebuild at bug #22897. Your rudeness was unnecessary.
building of SRC_URI's like that is incorrect, it breaks the way portage works the rudeness was in resonse to your own the latest 4.x contained 38, i thought i had updated all of the 4.x's, i was wrong i still am making the 178k d/l mandatory until portage changes
