it looks like they don't have the old Image-ExifTool-12.68.tar.gz or anything else unless the latest on the website a topic has been opened on exiftool forum https://exiftool.org/forum/index.php?topic=15671.0 by a gentoo user also https://bugs.gentoo.org/923527#c6 Reproducible: Always

We should grab production releases from metacpan.
I have been on the ExifTool Forum to report this . During my investigatrions I have discovered that Gentoo does not go as far as version 12.76, only 12.72 I can download 12.76 using wget, but not versions 12.68 or 12.72 You can see more on the forum as per @jms above Hope this helps.
Yeah, I understand. It's just that we generally want a stable archive to download from. Bumping to new versions is really independent of that.
Can someone update the repositry with the latest which builds and installs successfully. At sourceforge I find only these versions: https://sourceforge.net/projects/exiftool/files/Image-ExifTool-12.76.tar.gz/download https://sourceforge.net/projects/exiftool/files/Image-ExifTool-12.74.tar.gz/download I ran these commands to test: cd /usr/local/portage/ mkdir media-libs cd media-libs cp -rp /usr/portage/media-libs/exiftool . cd exiftool/ cp exiftool-12.72.ebuild exiftool-12.76.ebuild ebuild exiftool-12.76.ebuild manifest ebuild exiftool-12.76.ebuild fetch ebuild exiftool-12.76.ebuild test ebuild exiftool-12.76.ebuild install There were all successfull. Thank you. The current ebuild only supports versions up to and including 12.72: media-libs/exiftool Available versions: 12.50^t ~12.60^t 12.64^t 12.68^t ~12.72^t
Yep, will do today. In the meantime, please make sure you have a valid GENTOO_MIRRORS setting.

(In reply to Michael Vetter from comment #7) > That being said upstream shouldn't remove release tarballs so quickly. The ExifTool web site is being hammered by automated clients downloading multiple copies of sometimes very old versions of the distribution packages. I've started removing old versions sooner to help reduce the bandwidth load. How long exactly would you like for me to keep older versions? - Phil

Should we grab releases from https://github.com/exiftool/exiftool/releases instead? You could upload the tarballs there if the GitHub autogenerated ones are not suitable. > How long exactly would you like for me to keep older versions? Honestly it's a hard question to answer. Since various distributions have different release schedules and I don't know when they will pull the tarballs for verification. It might be nice to at least have the 'latest production' release for quite some time.

Note that users should really have a valid GENTOO_MIRRORS setting anyway.

Also, apologies for taking longer to get to it. I'm a bit overwhelmed at the moment. Thanks all!
thanks
