Hey gang, In hacking together a package (ebuild) for Gentoo, two issues complicated what should otherwise have been a trivial update. 1) There are two release tarballs for the version. The first of these was pointed to by default when I made my initial pass-- assumption was that the "powertop-2.6.1.tar.gz" would be hosted on the server. I was right. However, that tarball resulted in a broken build. https://01.org/sites/default/files/downloads/powertop/powertop-2.6.1.tar.gz https://01.org/sites/default/files/downloads/powertop/powertop-2.6.1.tar_0.gz 2) Further, the second tarball URL (found on 01.org mousing over links) ends in "tar_0.gz", which breaks with filename convention and also breaks Gentoo's out-of-the-box 'unpack' packaging function. Are there any plans to remedy this? Cheers and thanks
