I do not know how to do that (roxen webserver), I will ask the system
administrator.  Meanwhile it is possible to use an alternate address

  http://www2.math.unifi.it/~maggesi/portage/app-misc/hello/

(that is "www2" instead of "www") that should handle .ebuild files as
text/plain.

I added autoconf, automake as you suggested.  But I do not understand
exactly why this is necessary.  They should not be needed to build from
the tarball.  Can you explain more?

I agree, I changed the url.

Thank you for your suggestions,
