Have you done an 'emerge rsync' recently?
It is possible that a new file has been added to the portage system and your computer is going to get the new version, or simply that David did not have the precise source file you want in the archive.
What it the file you are trying to emerge?
Please include the _precise_ ( sorry to be pedantic, but it's important ) path and file name of the .ebuild and the tar.gz files.
Otherwise emerge with the full path and name of the .ebuild file you wish to emerge.
Sorry, Chris, it was my fault. For some reason the big ones of David's distfiles didn't untar properly the first time. So I ended up with 0 kb files of the same names and didn't realize. After I've untared the archive again, everyrhing worked fine. This mail is allready written in my new Mozilla :).
The two free CDROMs I mentioned on the list as available have gone, but I can cut more. Particular packages could be added, there is about 55 Megs left before the two CDROMs are completely full vis:-
669319168 Jul 5 23:14 /usr/local/isos/AtoK.iso 674136064 Jul 5 23:17 /usr/local/isos/LtoZ.iso
These archives hold 653 packages which is about 15% of the total packages available and represents approx 65 - 70 hours of download time with a 56k modem on a good day.
The Mozilla sources at 31.1 Mbytes are actually in the AtoK CD otherwise they wouldn't fit in the CD.
Install and LiveCD disks available too. KDE, no Gnome applications in these CDROMs. Just the gtk libraries, so GIMP works.
$5 per CDROM + postage, or you collect.
At the moment I've no use for the CDs, but thanks for the offer. I've all the big packages together that I normally use and for the small bits and pieces it's more conveniant to simply emerge them. From now on I consider myself as a happy Gentoo user and I don't intend to go back to Debian (which I loved).
Thanx to all who helped!
Cheers, Conrad.
