Description Attila Stehr 2010-06-14 14:59:02 UTC

calling the URL I get:

"Gone

The requested resource
/pengupop
is no longer available on this server and there is no forwarding address. Please remove all references to this resource."

When I try to access the folder containing the sources (stated /files in the ebuild) I receive an access error (forbidden).


I wrote an email to the devs about this just a few moments ago (/contact is still reachable). Lets see. :)

Don't cc random developers on the bug just because they appear last in the ChangeLog file, bug-wranglers will assign anyway.  Check metadata.xml...

fixed.

Comment 3 Attila Stehr 2010-06-18 08:48:17 UTC

Looks like there are more recent packages available than on the freshmeat page which only supplies 2.2.2. 
The portage tree contains 2.2.5 ATM.
And for example http://www.brothersoft.com/games/pengupop-for-linux-download.html provides version 2.2.6!
What can be done here?


btw:
Pity! This is the reply from Morten Hustveit (one of the devs):

No, everything is going away forever.  I have decided to focus on other things.

It's not that interesting.  The freshmeat page is good enough.  The HOMEPAGE variable is really just a nice bit of information in the ebuild, it doesn't really matter to the installation of the package.
