Your problem has to be fixed server side (assuming you want a proper solution), as portage *needs* the correct filename in SRC_URI for things like md5 verification. So even if $FETCHCOMMAND would save your file with the right name you would be in trouble. I was wondering why pkg_fetch seemed to be the only function that cannot be localized in an ebuild... Why is that? Because fetching isn't done in the bash part, but in the python part of portage, and ebuild can only override things in the bash part ever. Fetching involves a lot more than just calling wget, take a look at fetch() in portage.py if you're interested. Oh, and there are many more things that cannot be overridden, like dep calculation, merging, cleaning, ... Marius -- gentoo-portage-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-portage-dev] Changelogs
Hi guys, Is there any particular reason that the changelog was dropped from recent portage versions. I'd like to have it to see what changed. Especially with release candidates that sometimes develop issues.

Been a bit hit or miss afaik for rc3, but that's the intention. Easier for us; no duplication, the actual log message is sitting right in the vcs rather then as a change to a file in the vcs. So... yah, it's not being killed off, just a change of how it's done. ~harring pgpfNOMxY8Q1y.pgp Description: PGP signature
