|
|
Posting here because my concern is with the SRC_URI in some ebuilds continuing to work if I try something...
I host some orphaned tarballs on audiodef.com. Some of those were adopted in the pro-audio overlay. I want to move my hosted tarballs to gentoostudio.org, but I don't want to re-orphan anything. So if I move the tarballs, can I use a server redirect? If so, what is the best way to do that so that wget follows the redirect and fetches the moved tarball? _________________ decibel Linux: https://decibellinux.org

If it is a server redirect at the HTTP level, and the filenames stay the same, it should work. Anything that involves HTML in any way will likely not work. |

Well, portage (or more precisely wget/curl) only talks to your http/ftp server, it doesn't know anything about the underlying filesystem. How the server treats your symlink depends on its configuration. |
