Bug 559916 – app-editors/vim-core,vim,gvim 7.4.769: upstream download url is broken

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Fat-Zer 2015-09-07 20:14:01 UTC]

It seems the upstream tarball was moved or deleted, so the url in SRC_URI isn't valid anymore.

The url was:
https://github.com/vim/vim/archive/v7-4-769.tar.gz -> vim-7.4.769.tar.gz

I haven't checked for 7.4.827, but it will be likely the same...

7.4.827 is a bad url as well. 

i looked through git hub, there are tags for 7.0xxx the latest being 10 years old. either they stopped tagging or it was lost in the move from google code.

i have machines that have 7.4.769 retrieved august 27th.

i'm not seeing an archive directory for tar.gz on github

Found the problem: there are no longer hyphens in the tar.gz files.

Workaround:
1) Edit /usr/portage/app-editors/vim/vim-7.4.769.ebuild
2) Replace all instances of "MY_PV" with "PV"
3) repoman --digest=y manifest
4) Manually download the sources via wget or curl
5) Update the SHA256, SHA512, WHIRLPOOL checksums in /usr/portage/app-editors/vim/Manifest
6) emerge --ask app-editors/vim

And it works.

Hi Tim, the issue is not fixed for vim-core-7.4.769, there is still the MY_PV variant with the dashes instead of the dots.
