yes, it is a gentoo ebuild problem, so I was barking up the wrong tree
completely. I will submit a bug report to gentoo, but I'm very slow about
these things. This is the offending code in the freenet-0.5.2.1-r7.ebuild:
while [ "${YN}" != "y" -a "${YN}" != "Y" -a "${YN}" != "n" -a "${YN}" != "N"
-a "${YN}" != "" ]; do
einfo "Would you like to update freenet files now? [Y/n]"
read YN
done
if [ -z "$(echo ${YN}|sed -e s/y//i)" ];then
einfo "Press U within 2 seconds to try an unstable snapshot"
read -n 1 -t 2 YN
if [ "${YN}" == "U" ] || [ "${YN}" == "u" ]; then
wget
http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/freenet-unstable-latest.jar
-O /usr/lib/freenet/freenet.jar
else
wget
http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/freenet-latest.jar
-O /usr/lib/freenet/freenet.jar
fi
wget http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/seednodes.ref
-O /var/freenet/seednodes.ref
touch -d "1/1/1970" /var/freenet/seednodes.ref
chown freenet:freenet /var/freenet/seednodes.ref
Notice that the command to wget the seednode.ref is outside of the "if"
statement, and does not offer a wget command for the unstable seednode file.
