Thanks, I just reported the bug, but I will probably do the other thing too just to get going...

That happened to me too. I added it to my bug report.

portage cant apply the patches because the XFree-4.2.99.3 tarballs are missing some file and dirs!

Does XFree-4.2.99 fix the font problems that are in 4.2.1?

I have problems with xfree-4.2.1 (see topic below, last post just a few minutes ago), also when it does not work with -march)686, I will also trz to emerge the 4.2.99 version.

Regards,
Sebastien.

BTW, guys, the release date for XFree 4.3 is supposedly 22 January. I don't know how soon after that it's reasonable to expect an ebuild....

This is strange.
The 4.2.99-r1 ebuild is dated Jan 3 and the files are also dated the same.

I just emerge 4.2.99 last week and did not have any problems as you described.

Are you sure you deleted all the files from your /usr/portage/distfiles directory?

I just did an md5sum on the same file as you listed above and my checksum is identical to the ones expected.

I suspedt that you:
a) Downloaded the files in ascii mode rather than in binary mode
b) Had some network issues and the files got corrupted.

I suggest that you go to ftp.ibiblio.org and donwload each file manually. The build and the files are ok.

I had the digest problem to. But fixed it with "ebuild xxx digest". And then I get the patch error. I get the same error on both my laptop and my stationary

Even though I had 4.2.99 on my laptop earlier but accidentally downgraded it :oops:

Hey guys,

I am having the same issues. Two things to add:

1) I have tried getting the file from 3 different mirrors. They all have the same MD5 hash and they are all wrong.

2) XFree CVS is required for anyone who wants to build gnome2.1.x.

so does anyone still have a copy of the xfree-4.2.99-3-r0 hanging arounf?

I just re-downloaded the files from ftp.ibiblio.org and did a diff against the ones I have in my /usr/portage/distfiles directory which I built my 4.2.99 from and they match.

Here is what I did:
1. Go to ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo/distfiles/

2. Download the files maually and place them in /usr/portage/distfiles

This should work unless you use a browser that defaults to ASCII download and not BINARY.

The files on ftp.ibilio.org is OK and is not corrupt.

I think the reason you guys are having digest problems is because the Xfree snapshot has been updated, but the ebuild hasnt been given a new revision number. when you try to update xfree, emerge sees that the source files are not big enough so it tries to append the data at the end of the new snapshot to the end of your local copy of the old snapshot.

just a theory,

Then why does emerge'ing using portage work for some and not for others?

I just (as of 4am this morning) attempted this ebuild, and got the md5 error. I followed the instructions to ftp (manually) the files, and had zero problems. My problem comes in the fact that after verifying I was transferring in binary, I still get:

I tried your suggestion ebrostig, to download manually. But I get the exact same error. I used gftp with binary

Interesting.

I just re-downloaded X4.2.99.3-2.tar.bz2 and got a different md5sum on this file from the one I already had.
Something fishy is going on with ftp.ibiblio.org.
See xfree 4.2.99.3 md5 sum for the md5sums of my old copy and the new copy of the file.

Hi!
You can get the older (but working) xfree sources from this mirror:

ftp://ftp.rez-gif.supelec.fr/pub/Linux/distrib/gentoo/distfiles

Thanks!
How on earth did you find this site?

Compiling right now!

Nope. I have a *brand new* box. It still has that new "live-cd" smell. I started the install on Monday, and am getting held up by this. I'm running regular xfree (4.2.1ish) at home, so I know that works...

Got portage snapshot from 20030114 and downloaded the files (again /sigh) today. No dice. I'm gonna grab the files off that ftp server that was dug up. Hopefully it'll work...

gncuster, you really do not need xfree cvs for gnome 2.1.x
