two things. 1. none of download-urls work, so emerge stops 2. ebuild is version 1.1.0 and wants a kernel with patches of same version applied. Gentoo-kernel-r7 has 1.0.1 applied so the build fails. why not to apply the patches within the ebuild?
evms downloads fine for me; my problem is that evms just won't build.

omg, side-scrolling suxx. i found that the gentoo-sources kernel has too old evms patches for the userspace utilities. we just need a newer kernel. i used evms 1.0.1 from portage now but thats not realy an alternative
hi as for build-time support, if you use a vanilla linux kernel from kernel.org in /usr/src/linux, and apply the three patches that come in the evms-1.1.0.tar.gz tarball, as per the HOWTO document that comes with it, you should be okay; it "works for me". i dont know if we're ready to do the DEPEND gentoo-sources thing at thing point in time. Cheers
i think thats no resolution since most users use gentoo-sources. it would be a resolution to release a new gentoo-kernel with newer versions of evms aplied i think
in the future it might DEPEND on gentoo-sources but it doesnt now, and thats not a bug in and of itself. theres nothing wrong with the ebuild, get it? thanks, woodchip@gentoo.org
but then the ebuild should also contain the kernel patch and it doesnt as far as i can see. so then either: ebuild with kernel-patch (for vanilla) or kernel applied with a newer patch and ebuild without patch for kernel. i think this would be correct, because distribution of evms contains both, patch and userspace utils too.
