Hi, so a while back, i already had the problem. And just now, i ran into the problem again:
In an ebuild, i'd like to specify an "download as"-filename. That means, out there, there is a file called "http://host/myprogram-1.2.3/patch01"; which i'd like to download as "myprogram-1.2.3-patch01". Of course, there are multiple files out there: http://host/myprogram-1.2.1/patch01 http://host/myprogram-1.2.3/patch01 http://other.host/other-program-2.1.3/patch01 But current portage versions would download them all to /usr/portage/distfiles/patch01 which leads to a conflict. Of course, some collisions are intentional. But some are not, but cannot be avoided. Of course, this features needs some new SRC_URI-Syntax. Maybe something like SRC_URI="http://host/filename|download-as-finename". Do you think, this feature makes sense? (I want to discuss, before i make an RFE in BugZilla) Greetings, Sven
