Description Ulenrich 2014-08-02 13:08:25 UTC

gummiboot ebuild fails to proper download, because upstream tar.gz source file changes and failes checksum.
these changes also happen if downloading from browser the tar.gz
these changes do not happen if downloading the zip source

Comment 1 Ulenrich 2014-08-02 13:22:42 UTC

It is the 5. and the 6. byte of the tar.gz ever changing.
This doesn't change the source extracted. 

Maybe a feature of git enabled upstream ... I dont know

Comment 2 Alex Xu (Hello71) 2014-08-04 15:03:51 UTC

that package doesn't seem to exist in gentoo repos.

Comment 3 Alex Xu (Hello71) 2014-08-04 15:04:08 UTC

sorry, old sync.

Comment 4 Alex Xu (Hello71) 2014-08-04 15:06:55 UTC

mgorny: the tags don't change, but cgit generates the snapshot on-the-fly from a git checkout. the reason why sums are the same across runs is because of proxy caching.

Yes, I know. I just hoped the cache would last till our master mirror fetches it. Anyway, I'll host a proper dist tarball then.
