I second that
I'm getting the same results as these gentlemen. http://pastebin.com/EzPCqW1g (Link set to expire Sept. 09, 2011)
I hope I'm not stating the obvious here, but with a quick glance we can see that the 404-ing file is called "genpatches-2.6.38-4.base.tar.bz2". I browsed through the mirrors and I could only find files named "genpatches-2.6.38-5.base.tar.bz2", "genpatches-2.6.38-7.base.tar.bz2", and "genpatches-2.6.38-8.base.tar.bz2". Now I know that patch sets aren't exactly backwards-compatible, but what if we use one of the newer patch sets instead? I'll try it out and let you men know how it goes.
MEN. Emerge has confirmed that genpatches-2.6.38-5.extras.tar.bz2 has all the patches we need. If it is necessary to build gentoo's xen-sources quickly (perhaps, like me, you have a tight project deadline and really can't wait) then we can do a little hacking to make it work. I should remind you that this can be dangerous when done incorrectly. First, we'll need to edit the xen-sources ebuild: nano /usr/portage/sys-kernel/xen-sources/xen-sources-2.6.38.ebuild We need edit the line that says: K_GENPATCHES_VER="4" so it will instead say: K_GENPATCHES_VER="5" Second, we need to rebuild the Manifest so that emerge will accept it: ebuild /usr/portage/sys-kernel/xen-sources/xen-sources-2.6.38.ebuild digest Now, run your typical emerge: emerge --update --nospinner --deep --newuse --ask -v xen-sources And voila! Our next "emerge --sync" will replace our custom ebuild when an update for xen-sources hits upstream. Hope this helps!
Well, I've been hitting this bug recently myself. A quick one-liner to get people out of trouble: wget -cP ${DISTDIR} http://dev.gentoo.org/~mpagano/genpatches/tarballs/genpatches-2.6.38-4.extras.tar.bz2 http://dev.gentoo.org/~mpagano/genpatches/tarballs/genpatches-2.6.38-4.base.tar.bz2 I've shelled into dev.gentoo.org and done something similar, so hopefully next time the distfiles get pushed to the mirrors, the files should magically appear in the right place. No ebuild changes were necessary, and the files I put there matched the existing manifest, so I'll check back in a few days and see if the bug is still reproduce-able or whether I have fixed it (until they disappear again).
