Bug 39741 – Cannot update viewcvs since Jan 28 2004: missing file

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jocelyn Mayer 2004-01-29 02:51:15 UTC]

viewcvs needs an update, since Jan 28 2004:

# emerge -b --update --pretend world

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating world dependencies ...done!
[ebuild     U ] net-www/viewcvs-0.9.2_p20030430-r1 [0.9.2_p20030430] 

But, when I try to merge it, I finally get:
# emerge -b --update world
Calculating world dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge (1 of 1) net-www/viewcvs-0.9.2_p20030430-r1 to /

<...>

!!! Couldn't download viewcvs.02.metacvs.patch. Aborting.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -b --update net-www/viewcvs
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Fails to download needed file.

Expected Results:  
Download then merge....

I can confirm this.
Seems like someone forgot to upload viewcvs.02.metacvs.patch.

Bah, sorry about that!  I uploaded the patch, but it may take
up to an hour for it to propagate to the mirrors.  Closing for now, 
but please reopen if the problem persists.

It seems that this one have to be re-opened:
it's been almost 36 hours since I tried the first time to merge this package,
and it's still not available.
So, it seems that there was a problem during the upload...
Is it possible to check this point from myself, I mean see if a package
has been uploaded on the main server ?

Thanks for letting me know.  Looks like we had a permissions problem on the
server; should be uploaded w/in an hour.  Reopening until I can verify.
