Description Andriy Utkin (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2019-07-11 08:55:47 UTC 
Distfiles from this host are downloaded even with `binary` USE flag disabled.

Curious: how does this ghc ebuild hackery works, with binary distfiles URLs being present only in comments inside the ebuild?

 # USE=-binary emerge --nodeps --fetchonly -1 ghc

It is by design as not all host ghc versions can bootstrap a particular version.

To use host's ghc you can use USE=ghcbootstrap.

They are not comments for x86 and amd64:

    arch_binaries="$arch_binaries amd64? ( https://slyfox.uni.cx/~slyfox/distfiles/ghc-bin-${PV}-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.tbz2 )"
    [[ -n $arch_binaries ]] && SRC_URI+=" !ghcbootstrap? ( $arch_binaries )"

Should work now. DNS registrar had a short outage delegating uni.cx properly for a while. I'll move 8.6.5 to mirrors as well.

Should we mark this ticket resolved?

https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=a5434e5130e1cde63875406c47abda480646f22e will eventually mirror binaries onto gentoo mirrors.
