Yes, wait until the server is up again. ;)

I don't know, somebody in the other thread said, that the maintainer is on vacation. You might want to subscribe to that other thread, I think this will be your best chance to get updates on this issue.

Apparently, they are still in vacation. Look for the related bug report - there is an IP given which you can use directly as a substitute for the moment.

This was written in the bug:
Code:
eix-remote -a http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/eix_cache/eix-caches.tbz2 [whatever]

(here and in the following, xxx has to be replaced by the correct numbers, of course - I do not repeat it here, since I am not sure whether it would be legal to do so). Alternatively, you can export the variable
Code:
EIX_REMOTE_OPTS="-a http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/eix_cache/eix-caches.tbz2"

or put it in your /etc/eixrc. Yet another possibility is to put the line
Code:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx dev.gentooexperimental.org

into your /etc/hosts. Whichever way you choose, do not forget to undo the change once the server is back, or you might some day experience strange problems if the ip changes...

Has anyone noticed that eix-caches tarball is way too small for last week or so?

Code:
 * could not read all eix cachefiles of /tmp/eix-remote.xyv7MBf7/eix-caches.tbz2

Probably your eix cachefile was *not* updated successfully.
Unless the above messages suggest another cause or you specified a
wrong filename, the most likely cause of this is that the server uses
another eix version than you or produced broken data. Please inspect
   /tmp/eix-remote.xyv7MBf7/eix-caches.tbz2
whether this is a valid *.tar.bz2 archive containing eix cachefiles
(if it has already been deleted, download it using fetch).
If this is not the case (but was freshly downloaded), please report a bug.
Note that the archive is *not* broken if only the cachefile format versions
differ: In that case only report a bug if the eix cachefile format versions
in the downloaded file are *older* than that of the most current ~x86 eix
version in the portage tree (but first retry after several days before
reporting such a bug to give the server maintainers a chance to upgrade
after a version bump of eix).
Conversely, if the downloaded versions are even newer than that supported by
your eix, you will have to upgrade to the most current ~x86 version of eix
to use eix-remote: This inconvenience cannot be avoided and is not a bug!


from http://dev.gentooexperimental.org/eix_cache/eix-caches.tbz2

app-portage/eix-0.2.34 installed -- the latest avaliable version from portage. wtf?

eix-0.23.4 is broken. Please mask it locally or bump to eix-0.23.5 in your local overlay until it is fixed in the tree.
