When I try to emerge pysol, I'm unable to download the correct tarball as specified in the ebuild file. It's looking for http://www.pysol.org/download/pysol/pysol-4.82.tar.bz2 But the pysol webpage only has http://www.pysol.org/download/pysol/pysol-4.82-src.tar.bz2 I even tried messing with the ebuild file to force it to download the "-src" version of the file, but the file size is different leading me to believe that a change has been made somewhere else.

Expected Results: It should have downloaded the file and then compiled it and installed it. :-) This is the first time I've ever sent anything into a bugzilla repository. I hope I've done things correctly (included enough information, not included redundant information, ...). If I haven't just let me know and I will try to be of as much help as I can. Thank you guys for helping all the rest of us out. It really means a lot.
yeah the tarball went away upstream. I changed the ebuild to use the gentoo mirrors since the tarball that *is* there is much smaller and doesn't include a lot of the files. No idea what's happened there. The upstream author seems to be confused about how the GPL works though so I recommend using something else for card games. gnome-games has a good card game system.
Thank you. I hope people say thanks at least most of the time, but I suspect that yours is a pretty thankless job. Regardless, I do want to thank you for taking the time to help me in this OH SO IMPORTANT TASK of fixing my card games. :-)
