Hello!

I'm trying to install ximian-connector but fails. Can someone help me with this?

The package is masked so I go to /usr/portage/net-mail/ximian-connector and do this:
Code:
emerge ximian-connector-1.2.0.ebuild
Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge (1 of 1) net-mail/ximian-connector-1.2.0 to /
!!! ximian-connector-1.2.0-1.ximian.1.i386.rpm not found in /usr/portage/distfiles.
 
!!! net-mail/ximian-connector-1.2.0 has fetch restriction turned on.
!!! This probably means that this ebuild's files must be downloaded
!!! manually.  See the comments in the ebuild for more information.
 
!!! The following are listed in SRC_URI for ximian-connector:
!!!   ximian-connector-1.2.0-1.ximian.1.i386.rpm


Ok, I get it, I have to fetch the rpm myself. The problem is I don't know where. In the ChangeLog it says:
Code:

  19 Nov 2002; Jon Nall <nall@gentoo.org> ximian-connector-1.2.0.ebuild :
  ximian's license doesn't allow redistribution of binaries. therefore,
  i've marked this as RESTRICT="fetch" with a note to the user of how/
  where to get the package needed
 
  18 Nov 2002; Jon Nall <nall@gentoo.org> ChangeLog, ximian-connector-1.2.0.ebuild,
  files/digest-ximian-connector-1.2.0 :
  Initial import.


According to this there should be a note to the user of how/where to get the package, maybe even a script, but I can't find neither of this.

Can someone help me out?

Code:
einfo "NOTE: Ximian connector requires the purchase of a"
einfo "key from Ximian to function properly."
As for the ChangeLog, notice what it says above the entry for the script:
