Zenana Community Repo

[sjieke]

I don't see anything wrong with your repositories.conf file, but one thing I should do is putting the line for the zenana repo not between the official sabayon mirrors, but after with a little comment for info.

I also had problems to connect to my own repo (not yet on wiki, still work in progress).
My issues are described in the trhead http://www.sabayonlinux.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=13923, but are already fixed by our almighty lxnay
Maybe you can find some usefull info there...

[popatopalous]

I can add the jenna repo and it will download. In the other thread it was mostly about writing files and code within the repository not simply how to download the repo. I did get this from lxnay's post:

Hi all,
no, having the PHP handlers is not mandatory. Anyway, I just committed a fix, it's in SVN but the current trunk won't be tagged as new release anytime soon (working on NLnet M3).
So, open /usr/lib/entropy/libraries/entropy.py, go to line 17765 (version: 0.15.23.7) and change False to True

But I have entropy version 0.15.24.1. and /usr/lib/entropy/libraries/entropy.py, go to line 17765 appears to be different. If I'm reading vim right it has the word 'continue'. Maybe it's been fixed any way. I certainly won't change without knowing what,if anything, I should be changing.

Also took your suggestion of how to add repo and changed '/etc/entropy/repositories.conf':

Don't know if that's exactly or approximately what you meant but it is what I have currently. Also note that I temporarily have the jenna repo in there for testing purposes. So now 'equo update --force' results in partially:

w00t!. And now when I run 'equo world --ask' it pulls 47 upgrades all from 'v00d00 Zenana'. So the different way I added the repo to '/etc/entropy/repositories.conf' may be the/a correct way to do it. Or something changed upstream in the last 6 or so hours as I've been away working. Do note I made NO changes to '/usr/lib/entropy/libraries/entropy.py'. Unless something changed upstream perhaps myself or v00d00 need to modify the wiki???

[sjieke]

The fixes mentioned in that thread are already included in entropy version 0.15.24.1, so no need to do it yourself. I mentioned that thread because (according to me) it gives some better insight in how the (community) repositories work.

What you changed in your 'repositories.conf' file is exactly what I ment.
As far as I know nothing changed upstream, so apperently the changed 'repositories.conf' fixed your issues

[Thev00d00]

Yeah i fixed the repository.conf string for zenana, there was a trailing / in the "package location" that was confusing equo

I should be more careful when I type

[Komet]

Hi,
I just got a similiar problem:
I wanted to try zenana repo, but I don't get any zenana packages into entropy or spritz...

What I did was:
added

Code: Select all

repository|zenana|v00d00 Zenana|http://zenana.v00d00.net|http://zenana.v00d00.net#bz2

to repositories.conf, run "equo update", checked for the packages, nothing there, run "equo update --force"

Code: Select all

but still nothing there...
So, this is the first community repository I'm trying to add, am I missing something?

Oh, and here's my repositories.conf:

According to your output of 'equo update' you succesfully downloaded the Zenana repo.
So normally the packages should be available in Spritz.
Maybe you can try browsing the the zenana repo online (http://zenana.v00d00.net/standard/zenana/packages/) for a specific package.
Then search for that package in the available packages section of spritz.

Also note that the zenana repo is for the 64bit (arch=amd64), as mentioned on the wiki (http://wiki.sabayonlinux.org/index.php?title=Community_Repositories#List_of_Community_Repositories). So if you have an x86 version you won't see the amd64 packages in spritz

[Komet]

Hello
I know that zenana is for 64bit and I'm running amd64.

Maybe you can try browsing the the zenana repo online (http://zenana.v00d00.net/standard/zenana/packages/) for a specific package.
Then search for that package in the available packages section of spritz.

I already did that for "bibus", which is not available in the sabayonlinux.org repository, but should be in zenana...but nothing found.

I just checked http://zenana.v00d00.net/standard/zenan ... amd64/3.5/ again for available packages and saw bibus is gone and some other packages, like x11-libs/qt and patched kde... Maybe some problem there?

edit:
After running "equo update" again (zenana overlay was updated to revision 28) the packages from the repo are available!

But now I wonder, where have the patched kde packages gone?

[Thev00d00]

Yeah i had to resync the database as i reinstalled (long story lol) dont worry the patched KDE packages are coming soon! as is bibus etc, just need to recomplile them (and this time they are are more optimised awswell w00t)

[Komet]

Looking forward to get them!

[Thev00d00]

patched qt and kde are up, added over 100 portage updates today (the sabayon repos pckages are ooolod, soz joost), remember to request a package just ask. bibus is coming soon
