[gentoo-dev] download problem in ebuild

[Nick Rout <nick@rout.co.nz>]

I am not sure how to deal with this problem.

Lost Labyrinth is a game I am trying to write an ebuild for. I am stuck
on downloading, which isn't very encouraging.

The URL to download the gane is:

http://laby.toybox.de/download15/

which redirects to the latest version of the file (currently
laby_1.0.1.tar.gz)

Unfortunately the redirect results in wget naming the file:

download2.php?fileid=15

which is where the pain starts!

wget does work ok if you use the -O optin like:

wget http://laby.toybox.de/download15/ -O laby_1.0.1.tar.gz

So, i am looking for a way to ensure that wget, when operated through
portage, will append the -O, or I am wondering if there is a way to
over-ride the default fetching behaviour in the ebuild itself, something
like:

DOWNLOAD_CMD="wget http://laby.toybox.de/download15/ -O
laby_$(P).tar.gz"
