Gentoo mirrors do not have the tar for this and it was been removed from the upstream debian servers. I managed to find one that passes portages validations: http://distfiles.macports.org/whois/ Reproducible: Always

The files are indeed available on Gentoo mirrors, though the SRC_URI itself is no longer valid.
Not a problem for us, unless you have broken make.conf regarding mirror configuration, portage will fetch the tarball from Gentoo mirrors. That's why we have mirrors in the first place :-)
I think the more correct solution here would be to update SRC_URI to use mirror://gentoo/ instead.

That's not what PMS says: > If a component contains a full URI with protocol, that download location must > be used. Package managers may also consult mirrors for their files. For me, 'may' != 'must'.
you must have a valid Gentoo mirror in your make.conf. if you dont, your system is stupidly broken.
(In reply to comment #7) > you must have a valid Gentoo mirror in your make.conf. if you dont, your > system is stupidly broken. What's the relevance?
Vapier: My bad this one. Even a former Gentoo dev can make mistakes like having a bad mirror in make.conf . Two things in any case: 1-SRC_URI should be valid no matter what. 2-It is good to see that after all these years you still have not lost your touch.
(In reply to comment #9) > 1-SRC_URI should be valid no matter what. I've already asked QA about that and they do not care.
Gustavo: i didnt say you were dumb, just your config file ;).
