[gentoo-user] emerge mod_security: ERROR 404: Not Found.

[Jarry]

Hi,

I tried to emerge mod_security, but it failed with error
(bellow). Apparently, there is no modsecurity-1.8.7.tar.gz

May I download it from somewhere manually, copy to proper place
and continue? I would really like to have mod_security installed...

Ok, here is what I did and my thinking behind it.  We need to find the
home page for this program.  The way I do it is emerge -s <name of
program> and I get this:

OK.  We have the home page.  Copy the address into a browser and go to
it.  When I get there, I see the download section so that is a great
start.  To make sure I get the right thing, I go to a console and type
in emerge -fp <name of program>.  For this one we need
mod_security-1.8.7.ebuild.  We find it and download it.  Since we are
not logged into our GUI as root, we need to either copy it over to
/usr/portage/distfiles in a console or use another GUI file manager with
root access.  Copy that over to distfiles and try to emerge it and hope
it works.

I'm sure there are other ways to do this but this is what I have done a
few times.  Hope this helps.

Thanks, but the problem is, that this version is really no more on
homepage. There is only modsecurity-apache_1.9.4.tar.gz, but that
is masked as ~x86/~amd64 in our portage. And I do not want
to experiment with "~" packages on my server...  :-(

Maybe someone has modsecurity-apache_1.8.7.tar.gz it somewhere,
locally saved...

It's there.  Try here: 
http://www.gentoo-portage.com/net-www/mod_security  It's in the list on
the bottom.  I guess the others are masked still.

Again bad luck. It is a link only to ebuild.
And there is again link to homepage, which does not work:

Try:
http://mirror.trouble-free.net/sources/

BTW: link got by simply searching google for "modsecurity-1.8.7.tar.gz".

Then comes my next friend, Google.  What I did to find it: 
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=modsecurity-1.8.7.tar.gz+download&btnG=Google+Search 
Then a link to the pages I picked: 
http://www.gotroot.com/downloads/ftp/modsecurity/  or 
http://mirror.trouble-free.net/sources/ should work.

That should help.  Now to go uninstall apache and the others it emerged
while I was figuring this thing out.

Did that work for you?  Are you having trouble still?  Just curious.

Yes, it did, thanks. I just downladed that archive manually
and moved it into /usr/portage/distfiles.

Anyway, I am still surprised a little. I thought sources
of portage-packages are mirrored on gentoo-mirrors...

It seems to me to be a little "insecure", to download
mod_security from somewhere "from wild" instead of
gentoo-mirrors or homepage. One can not be sure those
sources have not been modified...

I agree to some degree.  I think it should be gotten from the home page
when not avaiable from a Gentoo mirror.  However, portage has the
checksum so if someone messed with it, you would get a error saying it
didn't match.  It should be safe.

Glad you got it going.  I got those 6 packages unmerged too.

They are. If the package has just been added to the tree they may not have 
reached your mirror yet. If that is not the reason then it is probably a bug. 
The official mirror should be in the ebuild to tell the mirrors where to 
fetch it from and as a backup if it cannot be found on the Gentoo mirrors.

As long as you don't override a digest verification error you are safe. Beware 
of those who tell you to override a digest verification error by running:

# ebuild $ebuild digest

or:

# emerge --digest $pkg

Very true.  I have seen people on this list tell people just that.
