Description Ulenrich 2014-08-02 13:08:25 UTC 
gummiboot ebuild fails to proper download, because upstream tar.gz source file changes and failes checksum.
these changes also happen if downloading from browser the tar.gz
these changes do not happen if downloading the zip source
Comment 1 Ulenrich 2014-08-02 13:22:42 UTC 
It is the 5. and the 6. byte of the tar.gz ever changing.
This doesn't change the source extracted. 

Maybe a feature of git enabled upstream ... I dont know
Comment 2 Alex Xu (Hello71) 2014-08-04 15:03:51 UTC 
that package doesn't seem to exist in gentoo repos.
Comment 3 Alex Xu (Hello71) 2014-08-04 15:04:08 UTC 
sorry, old sync.
Comment 4 Alex Xu (Hello71) 2014-08-04 15:06:55 UTC 
mgorny: the tags don't change, but cgit generates the snapshot on-the-fly from a git checkout. the reason why sums are the same across runs is because of proxy caching.

Yes, I know. I just hoped the cache would last till our master mirror fetches it. Anyway, I'll host a proper dist tarball then.
