Description Rance Hall 2003-08-11 11:22:29 UTC
I own a license for win4lin 4.x so I cant use the most current version of 5.x. 
 
I cd'd into the portage tree in the win4lin directory and ran the following command 
 
emerge ./win4lin-4.0.22.ebuild 
 
the emerge takes off, and downloads rpm2tgz so that it can uncompress the 
sourcecode rpm. 
 
then emerge proceeds to download win4lin 5.x from the server, even though I specified 
an older version. 
 
my license code wont work with 5.x so this is a critical thing for me. 
 
I dont want to install from source without going thru the emerge process so that the 
source will get compiled with all my use flags. 
 
I can not abandon my mandrake partition until this bug is fixed.

so...

bass@minime win4lin $ cat win4lin-4.0.22.ebuild | grep MY_P
MY_P=Win4Lin-5.3.22a-d.i386

bass@minime win4lin $ cat win4lin-5.0.1.ebuild | grep MY_P
MY_P=Win4Lin-5.5.1d-d.i386

The ebuild is correct, almost the one in the portage-tree. 5.5.x is the win4lin-5 series and 5.3.x is the win4lin-4 series.

revise your ebuild, or delete it and sync
