The error message is: Client.AuthFailure: AWS was not able to validate the provided access credentials I created an overlay for ec2-api-tools-1.6.7.2 using the contents of ec2-api-tools-1.6.0.1-r1.ebuild. Authentication using AWS_ACCESS_KEY/AWS_SECRET_KEY works with 1.6.7.2. I did not verify authentication using an X509 certificate since that method is deprecated. I am a new Gentoo user (just under a month) - what's the process to bump the version of a package?
Thank you for letting me know. This approach is the best way. +*ec2-api-tools-1.6.7.2 (26 Apr 2013) + + 26 Apr 2013; Tom Wijsman <TomWij@gentoo.org> +ec2-api-tools-1.6.7.2.ebuild: + Version bump to 1.6.7.2. Reported by Cleveland Flowe. Fixes bug #467398. Feel free to let me know whether this version works in the Portage tree. It should appear on the mirrors in a few hours from now.
(In reply to comment #1) ec2-api-tools-1.6.7.2 works from the Portage tree. Thanks for quick response.
