sabayonlinux.org repository not available?

[clockwork]

ok so i have a fresh install of the new 3.5 POD that was released.
i updated the repoistories to include the zenana database, but it keeps telling me that sabayonlinux.org is not available either through spritz or using equo update

here is the output that Spritz gives me

i dont have any updates or available packages besides the few that are in zenana

[Thev00d00]

Yeah sorry, i dont really do x86 more of a x86-64 man, try adding ewwbuntu for x86. Personally i can connect to sabayonlinux.org fine, maybe you should try another sync?

[clockwork]

eh i think i just need to get a full install DVD and go back to 64 bit. the regular x86 one i downloaded keeps saying corrupt except the md5 says its a good iso.

gah. i love sabayon but theres a few problems with my computer

[Thev00d00]

x86-64 FTW imo, although many people say otherwise lol

[clockwork]

well i had a sabayon 64 bit on for quite a while then one day it wouldnt boot. so i decided to get the stable release but neither the 32 or 64 DVDs will boot. the only thing that worked is the POD version. so right now im stuck in windows cuz all i have is an xfce system that cant update anything.

[brahmix]

I had a similar issue and fixed it with:

sudo equo world --upgrade 4

The PROBLEM was a missing release number...

Like:

http://svn.sabayonlinux.org/entropy/sta ... tabase/x86

SHOULD BE:

http://svn.sabayonlinux.org/entropy/sta ... abase/x86/4

If entropy does no find the URL specified, it complains about the database not being downloaded.

TEST:

Past your URL into firefox and see where it takes you.

You MUST see 'package.*' files otherwise you're in the wrong place.
Like:
packages.db
etc...

3.5 pod is so broken. Urgh

[albfneto]

I hope that Sabayon 3.5 POD is old, and now, may be diificult to update, and if updated, may be unstable.
Also, is it possible that more recent 4.0 r1 or Lite MCE can boot. i have four Sabayon installations.
all are 4.0 r1 and/or Lite, fully updated to the 4.1, all works good.

[WarraWarra]

Yup the 3.5 / pod is beyond rescue.

I tried it a few times and just gave up then went with gentoo 2008.1 and it is close to being or maybe more pain than pod but can be upgraded + moded via emerge close to 5 days at -j16 and not fun / not recommended.

If you have a lot of time and know what you are doing get the daily gentoo mini iso + latest portage and daily stage3 or funtoo stage3 and enjoy.

Server install from SL 4.? and then mod from there is alternative and likely more fun / effective.

Best is to wait a bit for 4.1 cd version.
