upgrade cooking downgrade WARNINGS [Problem Found, maintainers PLEASE FIX]
  • UR10UR10 August 2010
    tried to upgrade cooking; numerous packages appear to be reverted to prior on mirrors. Why?

    I will note that for me things are working quite well. The only problem seems to be occasional focus problem with mouse button/taps.

    Are there security issues?

    Okay on further investigation, it appears cooking is going to the 3.0 repo (evidenced by 2.6.30.6 kernel), even though

    /etc/slitaz-release = cooking

    and even with

    tazpkg set-release cooking

    My guess would be some file that belongs in the cooking repo was overwritten with something from 3.0.

    Found problem:

    packages.txt

    is missing from

    http://mirror.slitaz.org/packages/cooking/

    so tazpkg gets it from

    http://download.tuxfamily.org/slitaz/packages/cooking/

    which has an out-of-date packages.txt.

    so on further investigation it appears that the main problem file is

    packages.list

    which is missing from most/all of the cooking repo mirrors but is present and dated on

    download.tuxfamily.org

    The same appears to be true for

    pakages.md5

    Looking at the tazpkg help, there doesn't seem to be an option to block a particular mirror. A

    block-mirror

    command would be useful. (Yeah iptables could be used, but....)

Howdy, Stranger!
