is it possible to get a version appendix on the tar.bz?
so it should be easy to get a working ebuild fpr this.

The problem is there's two things to "version", compat-wireless itself
and Linux. I keep both version already as part of the tarball.

wireless@sipsolutions:~$ cat compat-wireless-2.6/compat-release
2.8-49-gfe0f268

wireless@sipsolutions:~$ cat compat-wireless-2.6/git-describe
v2.6.25-rc5-2623-g7556b76

You can also just pull these from the directory that was used to
create the tarball:

http://linuxwireless.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-release
http://linuxwireless.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2.6/git-describe

Does this suffice?

The problem is that does not reflect changes to Linux so there may be
a lot of great code added and yet this wouldn't reflect it. And if we
go with git-describe for Linux we could get updates on compat-wireless
itself during no code changes on Linux. I could use date (date -I),
that might work best but will it work for you?

Not really but it gives a version hint, could you create a symlink or so?
a url like that would be fine:
http://linuxwireless.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2.8-49.tar.bz2

Ok, i got a working ebuild, no i need an regular accessible download 
source with "solid" filenames e.g. the date appendix, then i could 
publish it as testing package.

Does this work for you?

http://linuxwireless.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2008-03-25.tar.bz2

Note that I'll delete all old tarballs when generating a new one for
the new date. This happens at 05:10am UTC.

but this is a problem, when i distribute a ebuild it is useful to have a 
locked version, so that i get reproducible results.
My problem, is that i have currently no resources to rehost this 
tar-ball. (no official gentoo-dev, no reliable webserver)

But, i see currently no other solution than rehosting.
Normally gentoo uses official upstream src locations, and mirrors all 
stuff present in portage to reduce load on official websites.
(portage first looks on gentoo-mirrors for tar-ball if unavailable it 
loads from official download page).

We can keep a few around, but definitely not forever, so you'll have to
find somewhere else to host your "known good" versions. While I could do
it resource-wise, I don't want the admin overhead of having various
distros tell us which ones are known-good for them.

You could simply get a gentoo dev to help you out.

Thanks,

I can probably get a historic archive of the tarballs hosted on orbit
or winlab site. Give me a few and I'll start something. Let me remind
you now that compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2 tarball has anti-hotlinking
enabled but the compat-wireless-2008-* tarballs won't. Anti-hotlinking
disables people from linking to the tarball externally, this will
force them to read the Download page if redirected from a separate
page, once they go there they can download the tarball. The dated
tarballs don't have this anti-hotlinking enabled now (Johannes just
set this up) so the ebuild/wget'ing should work directly for the dated
tarballs.

OK so now you have:

http://linuxwireless.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2008-03-25.tar.bz2

You can wget this. The compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2 is now just a
symlink to the latest tarball. When untar'd you'll get a dated
directory.

I'm still working on a place to put the archive.

Archive issue resolved. It'll be hosted by Orbit [1].  The
compat-wireless-2.6 archive [2] will host all daily tarballs.

Is this ebuild in some repository or can I download it somewhere?

thanks in advance
