Description Adrien Tougas 2004-11-14 04:03:52 UTC
The output below is printed when attempting to build realplayer-8-r7.ebuild


 * Please go to http://forms.real.com/real/player/unix/unix.html
 * and download the appropriate realplayer binary installer
 * for OS type : Linux 2.x (libc6 i386)
 *
 * Download rp8_linux20_libc6_i386_cs2.bin and place it in :
 * /usr/portage/distfiles
 *

The URL http://forms.real.com/real/player/unix/unix.html get redirected to http://www.real.com/linux/ where you can only download realplayer10

The URL for old versions of realplayer is http://forms.real.com/real/player/blackjack.html

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. edit $(PORTDIR)/profiles/package.mask to unmask media-video/realplayer
2. emerge =media-video/realplayer-8-r7
3.




Just a new URL to update the ebuild with that's all.

Realplayer-8 is hard masked for unresolved security reasons (Bug 40469). Don't use it!
