Away

I'm not dead, just a bit drift away from here because of my exams in university.
Be patient...

fish

Just added my first package to rPath.

The repository is fish.rpath.org@rpl:1 and all it's got is fish (command line shell) for the moment.
I want to add wwwoffle later to the repository. Maybe the repository name was a bad choice, now that I'll try to add wwwoffle too? Humm...

kdelibs: part 2

Just did 'conary updateall' and I'm running openoffice 2.0 and NO kdelibs installed ;)
Good job rPath team.

/me wonders how the hell kdelibs dependency got there in the first place...

kdelibs: part 1

To my surprise, today my 'conary updateall' said:

error: Additional troves are needed:
kdelibs:lib -> kdelibs:data(3.4.2-5.4-1)
openoffice.org:runtime -> kdelibs:lib(3.4.2-5.4-1)

Why? I don't have a single kde package installed and to me it makes no sense that openoffice should depend on kdelibs... humm
Very strange...

wwwoffle

I miss wwwoffle in rPath.
Tried to cook it but without success. :(

Maybe there's a place we can request packages? humm

Proxy again

Why is this happening to me everytime I'm behind a proxy?

Error occured opening repository http://drivers.rpath.com/conary/: <ProtocolError for //drivers.rpath.com/conary/: 503 Service Unavailable>


I can do conary update group-dist and some more... But whenever I try to update something from drivers or from the orleans repository I get errors. Humm

conary update group-dist

Some changes I'd like to see.
When a file is in the way of an update, as it was the case, conary stops.
Maybe it should ask if the file should be changed by a new one, or keep the current file.

It made me a bit angry to move some files (/etc/issue, /etc/distro-release and /etc/issue.net) out of the way in order to do an update. And it made me more angry to see that it weren't extreme config files. :)

chroot

When I chroot into my rpath mount point and after mounting /proc, I can't do any update at all.
Is this on purpose or a mistake in conary checking?

The error is this one: Error -3 while decompressing data: incorrect header check

*Darn*
I'd love to update rpath from debian ;)

rpath 0.99

Changed my /etc/conaryrc and now using rPath 0.99...

Help, I'm behind a proxy

Figured out why I couldn't get any package from contrib or orleans repository.
Today I came home and to my surprise contrib started working. Why? I have no clue... Is contrib using another port or something? Probably it's because in university I'm behind a proxy. Still, it's strange because I can get to conary.rpath.com... :(

conary-gui

Whenever I tried conary-gui, the same error was appearing: "No module named conarycfg".
I opened /usr/bin/conary-gui and the PYTHONPATH was referring to python2.2 ???
Well,a minor change from python2.2. to python2.4 and adding /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/conary to PYTHONPATH solved the problem :)

One thing I'm a bit dissapointed is the rpath contrib repository. I wasn't able, a single time, to access to it. No clue whatsoever for this behaviour...
