Description Imran Sher Rafique 2003-11-12 17:18:03 UTC 
I found the relevant sources from the following URL instead:
http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/debian-archive/dists/bo/main/source/mail/

BTW, out of curiosity, why does an 8.1.2 ebuild use 8.1.1 sources?



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge mailx
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
{root}$ emerge -v mailx

Imran, the 8.1.1 is just a base version. We patch them to 8.1.2.

Grant, Gentoo mirrors have mailx_8.1.1.orig.tar.gz now, but the ebuild still has the SRC_URI point to debian which is a dead link. Should we remove it?

Fixed in CVS. Thanks for reporting.
