VMware esx is a commercial package that requires you to have an active account w/ proof of license to download on www.vmware.com. You should go to www.vmware.com and click on downloads, and then login. Place the resulting file /usr/portage/distfiles. As another option, you can login to the web gui for ESX 2.5.3 and click on linux client at the bottom of the page, which will allow you to download the tarball. The information for pkg_nofetch is lacking. It should inform the user essentially what you said here, so they know where to get the file. desktop integer # emerge --info Portage 2.1.3_rc9 (default-linux/x86/2006.1, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.5-r3, 2.6.22-gentoo-r1 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.22-gentoo-r1 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2000+ Gentoo Base System release 1.12.10 Timestamp of tree: Wed, 25 Jul 2007 23:00:01 +0000 distcc 2.18.3 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] ccache version 2.4 [disabled] dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.33-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r4 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r7 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.17 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.16 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.23b virtual/os-headers: 2.6.20-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe -msse -mfpmath=sse -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/bind" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/php/apache1-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/apache2-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php5/ext-active/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/splash /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe -msse -mfpmath=sse -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="... candy distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org/" LANG="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_ALL="" LINGUAS="ru us" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages --filter=H_**/files/digest-*" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage /usr/local/layman/xeffects" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dfx 3dnow 3dnowext X Xaw3d a52 aac accessibility acpi administrator alsa ao apache2 asf attr avi bash-completion bitmap-fonts boost bootstrap bzip2 bzlib cairo cdr charconv cli codeconv cracklib crypt css curl d dbus device-mapper djvu dlloader dmi dmx dri dts dtx dvd dvdr dvdread eap-tls emboss encode esd expat extrafilters fam fat fbcon fbsplash firefox flac ftp gd gdbm gif gl gnutls gpm gtk gtk2 hal hardened hardenedphp hddtemp imlib jack java jpeg jpeg2k kde lcms libg++ mad mikmod mmx mmx2 mmxext mng motif mp2 mp3 mp4 mpeg ncurses nls ntfs nv nvidia nvidia-legacy ogg opengl pdf pdflib pear perl png pppd python qt3 qt3support qt4 query-browser quicktime radio readline reflection samba sdl session slang spl sse ssl symlink tcpd tiff tk truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode usb userlocales utf8 vorbis win32codecs workbench x86 xattr xcomposite xgl xml xorg xv zlib" ALSA_CARDS="via82xx" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev keyboard mouse" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="ru us" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="fbdev nv nvidia v41 vesa vga" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS Integer, please be aware that when you post to a bug, you are not necessarily still looking at the same bug, unless you follow the "return to bug XXXXX" link. I believe this information was for bug 142811, even though it actually related to 182595. Please see the comments in the other bugs, thanks... 5:) This bug is now very old, I was trying to install this package to manage ESXi 3.5U3 but, I see now that this is only for ESX. Seeing how ESX is also on version 3.5, I think this package should have a description change to insure people know that this won't work with ESXi. I found this bug by googling the file from the manifest, VMware-console-2.5.3-24171.tar.gz. I add a comment incase anyone else finds this bug and doesn't spend 15 minutes trying to figure out why they can't find the package. Either way, this bug is safe to close. Ok, since this is so old, and we have absolutely no way of updating it (hence it's unmainted), I've given it last rites: # Mike Auty <ikelos@gentoo.org> (1 Feb 2009) # Masked for removal in 30 days. Old and unmaintained. # Vmware herd has no access to the product, and it's # for a very old version. See bug 143232. app-emulation/vmware-esx-console |
If you try to do an emerge --fetch for vmware-esx-console (~x86 in package.keywords) you ge the following familiar message... except that it doesn't tell you the package name or where to get it :-( # emerge -f app-emulation/vmware-esx-console Calculating dependencies... done! >>> Emerging (1 of 1) app-emulation/vmware-esx-console-2.5.3.24171 to / !!!
