Hey Everyone- I think that I missed something, but I'm doing a fresh install and I'm having a heck of a time getting ebuilds to download. Either servers are timing out, or 404's, or host not found etc.
I'm definitely online: 'wget -O - http://www.google.com' immediately returns html. I can manually fetch certain files with another machine (Python-2.2.3.tgz is a good example), put the file on another server I have, wget that file to the new machine putting it into distfiles and the ebuild compiles no problem. Obviously a drag for more than one. Here is my current ebuild example : cdimage root # emerge system Calculating system dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 42) sys-libs/slang-1.4.9 to / >>> Downloading ftp://ftp.jedsoft.org/pub/davis/slang/v1.4/slang-1.4.9.tar.bz2 --16:25:47-- ftp://ftp.jedsoft.org/pub/davis/slang/v1.4/slang-1.4.9.tar.bz2 => `/usr/portage/distfiles/slang-1.4.9.tar.bz2' Resolving ftp.jedsoft.org... failed: Host not found. !!! Couldn't download slang-1.4.9.tar.bz2. Aborting. I understand that its impossible to keep everything 100% synced up, and I'm absolutely not complaining about anything. But I'm wondering if there isn't something or somewhere I should be looking at on my system to make sure I'm looking at all the latest repositories? I've tried 'emerge sync' a few times to see if I get a more recent portage snap-shot; same story. Any thoughts? Perhaps I just need a dose of patience...
