The libwhisker-2.1 ebuild tries to install a non-existing module, further it provides a compatibility module to old version 1.
Created attachment 43530 [details] updated ebuild for libwhikser-2.1 which installs LW2.pm and a compatibility LW.pm
libwhisker's webserver no longer denies wget User-Agent headers it would appear. Possibly this ebuild could be modifies to remove the fetchonly restriction. !!! libwhisker2-current.tar.gz not found in /usr/portage/distfiles !!! net-libs/libwhisker-2.1 has fetch restriction turned on. !!! This probably means that this ebuild's files must be downloaded !!! manually. See the comments in the ebuild for more information. * Could not find the libwhisker tarball! * It could not be fetched normally because http://www.wiretrip.net * denies the wget User-Agent header. * You can find this library in: * http://www.wiretrip.net/rfp/libwhisker/libwhisker2-current.tar.gz gateway linux # cd /usr/portage/distfiles/ gateway distfiles # wget http://www.wiretrip.net/rfp/libwhisker/libwhisker2-current.tar.gz --11:05:00-- http://www.wiretrip.net/rfp/libwhisker/libwhisker2-current.tar.gz => `libwhisker2-current.tar.gz' Resolving www.wiretrip.net... 65.254.53.94 Connecting to www.wiretrip.net[65.254.53.94]:80... connected.

I'll contact the author again. When initially added to the tree, he asked that we not mirror his package.
Email sent to the author. Will post any feedback. Believe me, I'd love to remove the mirror restriction on this one, mike
RFP has dropped his fetch restrictions on this library and they have been removed from the active ebuild.
