Manually fetching files in Gentoo

Here’s something I’d never had to do before. Be careful as this kind of tip will only popup for you once on the first emerge.

# emerge dev-php5/ZendOptimizer
>>> cfg-update-1.8.2-r1: Creating checksum index...
Calculating dependencies... done!
>>> Verifying ebuild Manifests... 

>>> Emerging (1 of 1) dev-php5/ZendOptimizer-3.3.0a to / 

!!! dev-php5/ZendOptimizer-3.3.0a has fetch restriction turned on.
!!! This probably means that this ebuild's files must be downloaded
!!! manually.  See the comments in the ebuild for more information. 

 *
 * Please download ZendOptimizer-3.3.0a-linux-glibc23-x86_64 from:
 * http://www.zend.com/products/zend_optimizer
 * and put it into /usr/portage/distfiles/.
 * Please note that you need a valid Zend Account
 * (free) to download the Zend Optimizer!

Manually pushing the archive into distfiles and running emerge worked fine. For a moment I was concerned that I might actually have to build something from source. Whew!
