Description rob holland (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-03-18 14:12:34 UTC 
PORTAGE_BINHOST settings with spaces in die because portage isn't translating ' ' to %20.

If portage was using FETCHCOMMAND or RESUMECOMMAND for downloading the tbz's it wouldn't matter as wget would translate, but it seems like its not using the FETCH/RESUMECOMMAND settings.

spaces are used as sperator for mulitple BINHOSTS.
Comment 2 Markus Nigbur (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-03-24 17:31:37 UTC 
err, my bad.
that's not true for PORTAGE_BINHOST.
Comment 3 rob holland (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-03-25 01:17:03 UTC 
and if it were true that would be broken. http encoding should be being done.
Comment 4 Nicholas Jones (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-04-11 00:20:30 UTC 
Spaces are annoying, but I added encoding and an already-encoded test
into CVS.
Comment 5 Nicholas Jones (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-10-22 08:48:02 UTC 
Bug has been fixed and released in stable portages on or before 2.0.51-r2
