Bug 617270 – nvidia-drivers packages needs NV_URI changed

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description tdr 2017-05-02 17:26:58 UTC]

NV_URI="http://http.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/"  will not break the current (working) nvidia-drivers downloads + will prevent the 404 errors when attempting to download the nvidia-settings packages (triggered by tools USE flag)




Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. clear distfiles of nvidia-settings*
2. USE="tools" emerge -f nvidia-drivers

Actual Results:  
404 error when attempting to download the nvidia-settings package that is pulled

(testing version shown but result is same for stable amd64)

(nvidia-drivers was already present, only needed to fetch nvidia-settings)



This is currently effecting stable + testing branches on amd64 and probably other archs as well.

Work around editing the NV_URI works on several versions I tested on amd64/~amd64

nvidia-settings also downloads.

All versions of nvidia-drivers appear to have the 404 error with the settings.
Updated url also would not restrict only using the US mirror.
