From chess at chessgriffin.com Sun Nov 1 03:27:23 2009 From: chess at chessgriffin.com (Chess Griffin) Date: Sat, 31 Oct 2009 23:27:23 -0400 Subject: [sbopkg-users] Sbopkg 0.31.0 Released Message-ID: <20091101032723.GA3909@localhost> On behalf of the sbopkg team, I would like to announce a new version 0.31.0 has been released. Thanks to those sbopkg users who sent us feedback, posted to the ML, and filed bug reports, we were able to quash several issues that needed quashing. :-) I'd also like to note that the 0.30.1 release has been, by all accounts, our most successful and popular release to date. Thanks to everyone for your support. Now, on to the new bits. Here is the unedited ChangeLog: * Fix typo in 50-default renames file. * Fix the "Uncheck installed" feature. The code apparently worked fine even without the fix. Spotted by slakmagik. * Add $ARCH information in dialog backtitles. * Add ":force" to sbopkg.conf WGETFLAGS --progress=bar to correctly display the wget progress bar; thanks to happyslacker for nudging me on this issue again. * Fix an issue with the build options dialog menu where selecting 'None' would not work; thanks to happyslacker for the bug report. * Add the ability to uninstall SBo packages from the dialog interface that lists installed packages. Thanks to pokipoki08 for the suggestion. * Fix an incompatibility regarding the way bash 3.1, 3.2, and 4.0 handle the RHS of [[ commands using the =~ operator which broke the repo file validation, among other things. Thanks to SiegeX, Zmyrgel, and BCarey for the reports and suggestions. * Add the ability to run multiple sbopkg instances simultaneously. This has been suggested many times in the past. Users should read the sbopkg.conf man page before using this option (which is disabled by default). * Be more strict validating YES/NO configuration variables. * Add a KNOWN_ISSUES file - if you encounter a bug, check this file before reporting it to see if it's known and if there's a workaround. * Modify sspm to be root-only and change the default checkout location. In case it isn't obvious, this means the checkout will be root-owned if it isn't already. * Fix cosmetic bug where ARCH and BUILD were not displaying correctly in list of updates on x86_64. * Add a dialog and cli option to show all READMEs for the queued packages. This can come handy to do "final checks" on the active queue before starting the build process. * Reworked the options selection menu to avoid seeing only a truncated set of the actual options; thanks to Erik Hanson for the bug report. * Work around build issues caused by custom LC_COLLATE values. * Add tint=tint2 to /etc/sbopkg/renames.d/50-default file. * Prevent an infinite download loop by modifying get_source() and check_source(); make sure that we do try to guess about the file name in a DOWNLOAD/filename mismatch but only when we absolutely have to, by modifying get_source_names(). Thanks to godling for noticing the problem. * The 'check for updates' function now always lists apparent downgrades, since it sometimes can mistakenly classify an upgrade as a downgrade (e.g. version 1.0.1 looks older than 1.0-rc2 to sbopkg). The apparent downgrades are added to the queue but are disabled by default. +--------------------------+ There is a new sbopkg.conf configuration variable, ALLOW_MULTI, that will need to be manually merged in or added if you are not going to use the included sbopkg.conf.new. Also, because the question of how to set $ARCH in sbopkg seems to crop up fairly regularly there is now some information about $ARCH in sbopkg.conf(5) that provides more detail about this setting. As always, a new package and source tarball are available for direct download from the sbopkg project website: http://www.sbopkg.org. Please report any bugs or issues to the sbopkg mailing list or at the Issue Tracker on the sbopkg Google Code page. Information about both of these resources can be found at the sbopkg website. Thanks to Mauro Giachero and slakmagik for their continued valuable assistance in developing this software.

It seems to me your issue is not sbopkg-related: > Resolving ftp.gnu.org... failed: Connection timed out. > wget: unable to resolve host address `ftp.gnu.org' Your connection is timing out, perhaps due to a DNS issue or a corporate firewall or proxy. I think wget has trouble with things like that. You can try increasing the timeout number in WGETFLAGS in sbopkg.conf. Some users have reported success bumping that up to 30 seconds or so. Try testing this out: Go into /var/lib/sbopkg/SBo/13.0/academic/gtypist And then as root do this: . *.info && wget $DOWNLOAD Pls post back whether that works or not. -- Chess Griffin -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Apologies for a bad report. I used a dialog w/o queues. However, it just built fine - I have no idea why it didn't build before. -- Alex Lysenka Computer Science Major Operations Management & Information Systems Major Northern Illinois University alysenka at niu.edu From jsunx1 at bellsouth.net Thu Nov 12 18:24:10 2009 From: jsunx1 at bellsouth.net (slakmagik) Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2009 13:24:10 -0500 Subject: [sbopkg-users] giblib In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <20091112182410.GB16380@surfbox> On 2009-11-12 (Thu) 12:18:43 [-0600], alkos333 wrote: > Worked this time around - weird... > I replied to your original before I saw your followup. :( That is weird.

Well, I can't help for two reasons - nted failed on the bad link (they moved 'oldsrc' to 'sources' or something like) without any sbopkg error and I put inkscape and libsig++ into a queue and they started to build properly, too. And, secondly, my net connection is going off and on like a strobe light. (I will now take the opportunity to say again: my internet disservice provider, BellSouth/AT&T sucks. Never use them.) Anyway, I hope the situation works itself out but I can't reproduce and am having trouble even seeing how this could happen in sbopkg. It almost seems more like your repo is on a network share and your own connection is going in and out or something like.

So never mind that part. :) I also mentioned a possible fix on that list but I guess you don't need it now that '-i' worked. Thanks for bringing that part to our attention, also. That's likely another bug as it *should* have failed both ways if it failed either way (unless you already had the source downloaded before trying the '-i' flag). I'll look into it in more detail soon.
