[gentoo-user] xextproto, what to do

[Rakotomandimby Mihamina]

Hi,
I am trying to install qemu and kqemu, and I run into a problem:


localhost ~ # emerge qemu kqemu
Calculating dependencies... done!
 Emerging (1 of 33) x11-proto/xextproto-7.0.2 to /
 Downloading
http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/individual/proto/xextproto-
7.0.2.tar.bz2

Resolving xorg.freedesktop.org... 131.252.208.36
Connecting to xorg.freedesktop.org|131.252.208.36|:80...

And then I got a connection timeout.
http://xorg.freedesktop.org/ does not respond.
there is also a bug in here:
http://gentoo-portage.com/x11-proto/xextproto/ChangeLog#ptabs

Let's suppose I find a mirror for this software, what's the way to
modify the ebuild into /var/... to consider the mirror I found at least
until the problem is solved?
I am a bit new too Gentoo.
Thank you.

You don't need to modify the ebuild. download the file manually and copy
it to $DISTDIR (/usr/portage/distfiles by default). Then, when you try to
emerge the package, portage will see that the file is already there and
not try to download it again.
