Hello,

I'm new to writing ebuilds but would like to get in to it. At the moment I
am trying to write an ebuild for soundmodem. Unfortunately I'm runing in
to a problem. I have the line
SRC_URI="http://www.baycom.org/~tom/ham/soundmodem/soundmodem-${P}.tar.gz"
in my ebuild. The filename is soundmodem-0.9.ebuild, I have it
in /usr/local/portage/media-radio/soundmodem. I also created a files
subdir inside of soundmodem. I have PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" in
my make.conf file.

When I try to create a digest by typing
(ebuild /usr/local/portage/media-radio/soundmodem/soundmodem-0.9.ebuild
digest) it tries to download soundmodem-0.9.tar.gz but not from the domain
I have in the SRC_URI. It is trying to download it from the portage
mirrors.

I have played with it all night long but cannot figure out why this is
happening.

TIA for any help!

Leif

Are you sure you want that? ${P} expands to package name and version, so the
file you are specifying is

http://www.baycom.org/~tom/ham/sound...dem-0.9.tar.gz
