Description Adrien Tougas 2004-11-14 04:03:52 UTC

 * Please go to http://forms.real.com/real/player/unix/unix.html

The URL http://forms.real.com/real/player/unix/unix.html get redirected to http://www.real.com/linux/ where you can only download realplayer10

The URL for old versions of realplayer is http://forms.real.com/real/player/blackjack.html

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. edit $(PORTDIR)/profiles/package.mask to unmask media-video/realplayer
2. emerge =media-video/realplayer-8-r7
3.




Just a new URL to update the ebuild with that's all.

Realplayer-8 is hard masked for unresolved security reasons (Bug 40469). Don't use it!
