Berlios have introduced a new Sourceforge-like download.php thing that requires that any download attempt include a magic key in the URL. Thus, Berlios can no longer be used inside SRC_URI.
It gets worse. Even if you specify the magic key, Berlios seems to shove an extra random garbage byte onto the end of any tarball. This doesn't affect the output, since tar discards it, but it does screw up digests and gives weird errors when unpacking. It gets worse still. It looks like many our mirrors have broken copies of certain Berlios-hosted tarballs. Sooooo... AFAICS, the only way to proceed is, for each package hosted on Berlios, contact upstream and get them to give you a tarball via a different location, then manually mirror it, and use mirror://gentoo/ in SRC_URI. This really really sucks. Does anyone happen to know any of the Berlios staff? -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Wearer of the shiny hat) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
