Problem setting up Community Repo [Solved]

[sjieke]

Hello,

Yesterday I tried to creat my own repository. But failed to sync it
I followed the wiki (http://wiki.sabayonlinux.org/index.php?title=Community_Repositories#Setting_up_a_Community_Repository) and everything worked up untill 'Pushing our work online'.
I issued the command

Code: Select all

# equo community mirrors sync

It then asked me if I wanted to run the steps above and I said 'Yes'.
It started, but after uploading a *.md5, the digest verification step failed with the message 'unrecognized data received' (or something like that, I'm not on my machine right now), and after several retries equo says 'Giving up'
I tried a few times, but to no avail.
The repo is located at http://users.telenet.be/brulee as you can see there, it did create the directory structure and uploaded some files.
My '/etc/entropy/server.conf' file contains the following settings

Code: Select all

branches|3.5
officialserverrepositoryid|brulee
repository|brulee|XFCE oriented repository|ftp://xxx:xxx@users.telenet.be/|http://users.telenet.be/brulee


Does somebody have an idea what I did wrong, of how I can resolve this issue. This is still on an updated loop3, I would like to get the repo up and running before installing 3.5 final, then I can use my own repo to install my custom made packages.

Ok, I am at my machine right now, I execute the sync command

Code: Select all

Is there anybody that could help me? Or point me in some direction...
Thx

[Thev00d00]

I cant help, i reccomend you talk to lxnay as hes the main Dev on this, try joining the sabayon-dev irc channel and pointing to this thread

[Thev00d00]

Well ive worked out whats up with your repo! The md5sum.php isnt responding correctly - Going to quiz the devs now

How do i know? Because it just happened to me when i enabled the md5sum.php script.

In the short term delete the files to get uploads working

v00

[sjieke]

Ok,

First of all thx to investigate.

I understand what is wrong, but I don't understand what you mean with 'delete the files to get upload working'?
Deleting the md5 files on the repo? Or some other files wich result in disabling the digest verification, and which files are those?

[Thev00d00]

Did you upload a

Code: Select all

md5sum.php

file? if so delete it. It SHOULD work then

[sjieke]

Gonna check it

...

Nope, the only 2 files up there are, you can check it at http://users.telenet.be/brulee:
/standard/brulee/database/x86/packages.db.lock
/standard/brulee/packages/x86/3.5/sys-apps:portage-2.2_rc1~0.tbz2.md5

[sjieke]

If you can't disable the digest verification (wich uses apperently the 'md5sum.php', or fails if it isn't there ) and the host doesn't support php, then you are unable to create a community repo.

Is this conclusion correct? If so, the requirements to create a community repo should be mentioned on the wiki.

[Thev00d00]

no if the md5sum.php isn't there the digest verification is ignored/skipped

[sjieke]

I didn't upload the md5sum.php myself, also looked for it using filezilla and couldn't find it.
So I think there are 2 possibilies

• The md5sum.php file is a hidden file, meaning it is there but I can't see it But if I go to your repo I do find it listed here http://v00d00.net/zenana/standard/zenana/handlers/, on mine I can't find it (http://users.telenet.be/brulee/standard/brulee/)
• There is something else configured wrong. Forcing equo to do a digest verification, or maybe checking if the md5sum.php file is present failes, resulting in the 'unknown data returned'

Yesterday I gave up, but when I get home today, I will try again. Maybe the 'handlers' folder needs to be present, but empty?
