Hi,
what are the reasons for this error to come :
ebuild fping-2.4b1.ebuild digest
!!! Name error in 2.4b1
!!! Error: PF is null; exiting.
the ebuild is as follows :
P=fping-2.4b1.tar.gz
S=${WORKDIR}/fping-2.4b1
DESCRIPTION="A utility to ping multiple hosts at once"
SRC_URI="ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/software/admin/mon/${P}.tar.gz"
HOMEPAGE="http://www.stanford.edu/~schemers/docs/fping/fping.html"
src_unpack() {
unpack ${A}
cp ${FILESDIR}/fping.c ${S}
}
src_compile() {
cd ${S}
try ./configure --prefix=/usr --host=${CHOST}
try make
}
src_install () {
cd ${S}
dobin fping
doman fping.8
dodoc COPYING ChangeLog README
}
regards,
pm

There are rules for naming ebuilds. Specifically, 2.4b1 isn't acceptable. Use
1.4_beta1 instead and it'll work. The reasons and rules for this are in one
of the tutorials somewhere :-)

There should be no .tar.gz in the P definition.

This is a real, intentional change. /var/tmp is the correct location for stuff
like this according to FHS.

Will there be a way to override this behavior?

There already is. Just add:
PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/tmp"
...to /etc/make.conf. Portage will adjust accordingly.
