Bug 364581 – >=sys-boot/lilo-23.1 source tarballs are invalid

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Constantin Baranov 2011-04-23 15:07:51 UTC]

Source tarballs of lilo 23.1 and 23.2 on distfiles.gentoo.org
are actually copy of lilo-23.0.tar.gz. Checksums of all three
in Manifest are the same. The tarballs must be re-downloaded.

Reproducible: Always

Weird. You're correct. This is because of the weird numbering in the SRC_URI and because apparently there is no such thing as an invalid URI on alioth.

[Comment 2 Benjamin Zink 2011-04-23 15:56:19 UTC]

To fix the alioth address for 23.1:
17c17
<       https://alioth.debian.org/frs/download.php/3315/${P}.tar.gz
---
>       https://alioth.debian.org/frs/download.php/3442/${P}.tar.gz

To fix the alioth address for 23.2:
17c17
<       https://alioth.debian.org/frs/download.php/3315/${P}.tar.gz
---
>       https://alioth.debian.org/frs/download.php/3539/${P}.tar.gz

[Comment 3 Benjamin Zink 2011-04-23 16:00:20 UTC]

The reason the alioth acts wierd like that is that the lilo-23.1.tar.gz is not checked. https://alioth.debian.org/frs/download.php/3315/ redirects to it, even if you have something else behind the .../3315/ . Meaning [Insert Number] is only meant for 1 file.

Thanks for reporting.

http://lilo.alioth.debian.org/ftp/sources/ is a more reliable source, it seems, so I have changed SRC_URI accordingly for all 23.* ebuilds.

I have also bumped 23.1 and 23.2 to -r1 to get ~arch people to actually use it.

Er, and now I need to fix building these newer versions.. *sigh*

gah sorry for the bug spam

[Comment 7 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2011-04-23 16:58:28 UTC]

I have patched the make configuration to stop it from building the image/ subdir, as that directly calls ../src/lilo. Needs to be fixed, but it means this bug is now fixed, more or less. lilo-23.[12] builds and installs now. Fixed again.
