[gentoo-user] Is the ebuild for dhcpcd wrong

2013-10-22 Thread Chris Allison
Hello,

when emerging dhcpcd it attempts to retrieve the source from
mirrorname/distfiles/...
looking at the mirror the file is actually at
mirrorname/gentoo/distfiles/...

Is this the correct place to bring this to your attention?

regards

Chris

That mirror is set up wrong, contact the admins of the mirror you are

It is also possible that he has an incorrect URL in GENTOO_MIRRORS;
not every gentoo mirror sticks distfiles in a top-level directory. For
example:

http://mirrors.rit.edu/gentoo/

This is listed on the gentoo mirrors page.
