Bug 410133 – sys-power/powertop-9999 has wrong git url

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Hanspeter Spalinger 2012-03-29 11:45:28 UTC]

The URL in the ebuild (at git.kernel.org) is invalid and the ebuild fails with a generic git error.
The current URL seems to be..
git://git.linaro.org/people/amitdanielk/powertop.git
(at least that was the newest repository alive i found for this, the powertop website at google and lesswatts.org point to git.moblin.org but i was not able to find a repo there....).

Changing EGIT_REPO_URL in the ebuild made the ebuild work again.

there's an additional address:

not sure how (un-)official that is

This issue has hit the linux kernel mailing list; posting this for reference, maybe more info will be available some time.

This appears to be fixed.  Portage has ebuild with fenrus75 repo and the lkml thread confirms this is the location.  Plz a update as "RESOLVED FIXED"
