[gentoo-user] xorg.freedesktop.org server down, xextproto
Hi, I am emerging X, and xextproto emerging is blocked by a freedesktop server timeout. What could be the solution (except waiting...)? Is there any other way to get it as from a "down" server? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Example with lftp + zsh (emerge zsh if not yet installed): $ cd $ mkdir xorg; cd xorg $ lftp ftp.x.org > cd pub/individual > mirror lib doc utils xproto xserver [ go an have a cup of coffee ] > quit # su # zsh # for B (**/*.bz2)(cp $B /usr/portage/distfiles/) Then it's OK. But one question. Is not there any way to get portage try another source? Why does portage try only freedesktop.org server? It appears that ftp.x.org is an up mirror: why not use it too? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Be warned though, i have never found it a helpful remedy. Usually, if you don't set a mirror at all, everything works fine. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
