the pciutils ebuild downloads pci.ids.bz2 from the web http://pciids.sf.net/pci.ids.bz2 http error 302 -> http://pciids.sourceforge.net/pci.ids.bz2 is it possible to put this file on the official gentoo mirror, and so in the distfiles directory of the gentoo pcs ? i've setted up a gentoo box over a proxy. now i'm setting up a 2nd box without a connection to the internet, just to a internal webserver with the distfiles of the 1st box. when i'm emerging pciutils, it want to connect to the url above. it would be great.
http 302 means redirect ... it kinda sucks if you have a d/l-ing program that can't handle 302 errors ...
hmm, i didnt mean to close this bug ... how odd ...
I don't think it's appropriate to put this file on the Gentoo mirror since it already comes in the package. There's no reason to keep an unversioned mirror of the snapshot. I tested wget and it responds appropriately to the 302 redirect, so I don't see how that is a problem. In fact, I don't see how this bug report is a problem at all. The ebuild recovers gracefully if a network connection isn't present. In that case it uses the original pci.ids file that was delivered with the package. I've verified this works on a disconnected machine. I'm closing this for now. Please explain how this is a real problem if you wish to reopen this bug. Aron
don't know what was going on last time how it works fine.
