Bug 107028 – emerge for mail-filter/dcc-1.3.16.ebuild fails on primary download site

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description simishag 2005-09-23 12:08:00 UTC]

emerge fails if the file is downloaded from the primary download site
(rhyolite.com).  I noticed this only due to my distfiles mirror failing. 
Additional tests indicate that the ebuild works fine if the file is downloaded.

The primary dist site redirects (301) the request for 1.3.16 to the 1.3.17
source.  This changes the downloaded filename, and the ebuild fails when it
can't find the file it thought it downloaded in /usr/portage/distfiles.  

The correct behavior would be for rhyolite.com to redirect this to the old file,
which is on their site in old/, and not redir to the new one, but that is
outside our scope.  A version bump would be the best way to solve this
particular issue.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Remove GENTOO_MIRRORS from make.conf.  emerge will attempt to fetch from primary
site, which will fail.



Expected Results:  
This isn't really the fault of emerge, but perhaps emerge should complain loudly
if it encounters redirects that change the file name when downloading source,
especially on the primary site.  Maybe wget should not follow redirs when
looking for a particular version?
