Bug 28055 – project-starfighter-1.1 fails to download distfiles

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Adam Chodorowski 2003-09-06 08:56:29 UTC]

When I try to emerge app-games/project-starfighter-1.1 it fails to download the
distfiles. GENTOO_MIRROS in /etc/make.conf contains the following URLs:

http://gentoo.linux.no/pub/gentoo/
http://trumpetti.atm.tut.fi/gentoo/
http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo

I would guess that someone forgot to upload the tarball. However, shouldn't the
ebuild also try the upstream distribution site?


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge "=app-games/project-starfighter-1.1"

Actual Results:  
!!! Couldn't download project-starfighter-1.1.tar.gz. Aborting.

i added the file to distfiles, there is an explanation in the ebuild, why it doesn't try to get it from the original site

[Comment 2 Charles Goodwin 2003-09-17 01:29:53 UTC]

It still fails to download the distfiles because you've uploaded it under a strangish name (starfighter-1.1-1.tar.gz).

Correct the ebuild like this to fix it:
Replace SRC_URI="mirror://gentoo/${P}.tar.gz"
by      SRC_URI="mirror://gentoo/${MY_P}-1.tar.gz"

I've uploaded the file as starfighter-1.1.tar.gz  It should make it out to
the mirrors soon.

[Comment 4 carsten schiemann 2003-09-28 06:07:15 UTC]

the ebuild is still named project-starfighter-1.1 and wants to download projekt-starfighter-1.1.tar.gz.
you should rename project-starfighter to starfighter to solve this problem.

...or upload project-starfighter-1.1.tar.gz to the mirrors.  Which is what
I
did so it should be usable soon.
