Description Eric Brown 2004-06-08 15:40:34 UTC

i am using my own private rsync and binhost, but when i try to emerge -gk gentoo-sources (which has a tbz2 on the binhost), it fails because portage tries to look for the gentoo-sources patch.tbz on the binhost.  This shouldn't even be an issue because i'm emerging a binary and patching wont even be necessary, someone should patch portage to turn downloading of patches and other files off when using emerge -gk

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge -gk gentoo-sources
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
livecd / # emerge gentoo-sources -gk
Fetching binary packages info...

>>> Downloading http://gentoo.seren.com/gentoo/distfiles/gentoo-sources-2.4.25.patch.bz2


Expected Results:  
should have emerged gentoo-sources and not even tried to download the patches because it's a prebuilt package

poor error output misguided me on this. problem was not related to patches
