Bug 44432 – dev-db/mysql-4.0.18 doesn't respect the MIRRORS variable in make.conf

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Hans-Christian Armingeon 2004-03-12 01:15:01 UTC]

dev-db/mysql-4.0.18 doesn't respect the GENTOO_MIRRORS variable in make.conf

See below:
>>> emerge (5 of 42) dev-db/mysql-4.0.18 to /
>>> Downloading http://mysql.mirror.widexs.nl/Downloads/MySQL-4.0/mysql-4.0.18.tar.gz

           => `/usr/portage/distfiles/mysql-4.0.18.tar.gz'

in make.conf is a line like:
GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mylocalmirror http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo"

But portage doesn't look on my mirror for the mysql files.

please consult man 5 portage.
your local mirror should be in /etc/portage/mirrors as a 'local' entry.

SRC_URI="mirror://mysql/Downloads/${SDIR}/${NEWP}.tar.gz"


> /etc/portage/mirrors. From `man portage`:
>   You may also set a special mirrortype called "local".  This
>   list of mirrors will be checked before GENTOO_MIRRORS and
>   be used even if the package has RESTRICT="nomirror".
