Created attachment 327038 [details, diff] icedtea-7.2.3.3.ebuild.patch Currently the following files would be stored in ${DISTDIR} for dev-java/icedtea-7.2.3.3: icedtea-2.3.3.tar.gz jamvm-0972452d441544f7dd29c55d64f1ce3a5db90d82.tar.gz 03f54ef33914.tar.gz 301e79a966b4.tar.gz 5ec94d162f05.tar.gz 9a95d714d136.tar.gz a567bcb7f589.tar.gz d2d0a106917c.tar.gz ec73c6927fb7.tar.gz f45296ac69be.tar.gz When checking ${DISTDIR}, it is useful to be able to calculate package name from given file name. I suggest to use SRC_URI arrows to rename these files to more meaningful names: icedtea-7.2.3.3.tar.gz icedtea-7.2.3.3-cacao-a567bcb7f589.tar.gz icedtea-7.2.3.3-corba-9a95d714d136.tar.gz icedtea-7.2.3.3-hotspot-d2d0a106917c.tar.gz icedtea-7.2.3.3-jamvm-0972452d441544f7dd29c55d64f1ce3a5db90d82.tar.gz icedtea-7.2.3.3-jaxp-f45296ac69be.tar.gz icedtea-7.2.3.3-jaxws-03f54ef33914.tar.gz icedtea-7.2.3.3-jdk-5ec94d162f05.tar.gz icedtea-7.2.3.3-langtools-ec73c6927fb7.tar.gz icedtea-7.2.3.3-openjdk-301e79a966b4.tar.gz I attach the patch.
The only tarball that is guaranteed to be new with each release is the icedtea one itself. All others may and actually often are used across releases. Also "useful" is awfully vague. Please be clear about what you want to do, why you want to map a distfile (by it's filename!) to a package including it's version.
I want to be able to use 'ls icedtea*' in ${DISTDIR} and 'rm icedtea-7.2.3.6*' (example older version).
Andrew did pick this up and it's in tree.
