Bug 559712 – dev-java/oracle-jre-bin-1.8.0.60 downloaded tar archive somehow invalid

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

Hey

dev-java/oracle-jre-bin-1.8.0.60::gentoo is fetch-restricted. The downloaded jre-8u60-linux-x64.tar.gz seems to unpack just fine when manually using "tar", but when I move it to /usr/portage/distfiles emerge fails with:
>>> Emerging (1 of 2) dev-java/oracle-jre-bin-1.8.0.60::gentoo

I don't remember this being necessary in the past. Portage should mention it.

It depends on the program you use to download the file. Chrome always sets the mode on downloads to 0600, which means the portage user does not have read access to it.

Thank you for the explanation, I did not know that.
