Bug 5605 – perl 5.6.1-r5 has a type in the src URI

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Michael Cummings (RETIRED) 2002-07-26 06:38:24 UTC]

should be pub/CPAN, not pub/perl/CPAN - the perl subdir doesn't exist...

Check -r4 as well then. -r5 is still masked

[Comment 2 Michael Cummings (RETIRED) 2002-07-26 07:19:22 UTC]

-r4 has the same typo. It is possible that this was a change on the cpan end - 
in either case, the ebuilds will fail to grab the target tar ball since the 
location is invalid. Discovered while working on an ebuild for 5.8.0 (ticket 
5091)

make it work :)

Corrected two typos

Looks like cpan changed the ftp path from /pub/perl/CPAN to /pub/CPAN. Also
corrected the -r* in the file

I included both the -r4 and -r5 since r5 is masked. One depending question is 
whether ftp'ing to ftp.perl.org is round robinned, and depending on where you 
end up maybe /pub/perl/CPAN is valid, but my last three oh so random tries all 
came back that /pub/CPAN is the only valid path...but then, I could be wrong 
(wouldn't be the first time). If nothing else, this bug is there for those who 
can't get the ebuild to download the tar ball :)
