This is fixed in the following commit: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=167c53006749b6bbf952c80af0e0b5a7d31eca32 William, can you please reopen? You're correct when commenting:
> on an amd64 box you should download the amd64 bootstrap binary, not the arm one.
Adding to everyone's first install a never used 600m download isn't okay. The ebuild still wants to spend an additional half hour wasting a significant fraction of monthly traffic. Crossdev support, forcing the user to fetch all binaries for every architecture, should be optional, with a USE flag of its own.
The problem seems to persist. See: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1102520.html Created attachment 604032 [details, diff]
Introduce go-bootstrap package
This patch series should address the issue.
This is fixed in 1.13.6. |
