I spent some considerable time last night fiddling

with the new 2007 Official repositories. I see Easy-Urmpi

now has the 2007 Official listed for main, contrib and

updates. In addition to that I was successful in using:

 

urpmi.addmedia plf-free ftp://ftp.easynet.fr/plf/mandriva/free/2007.0/i586 with hdlist.cz

urpmi.addmedia plf-nonfree ftp://ftp.easynet.fr/plf/mandriva/non-free/2007.0/i586 with hdlist.cz

 

I'm sure in time all of the respositories will get

up to speed with 2007. I was having some problems with

the updates repositories but I'm sure that'll work

itself out.

 

FWIW, IMO the Multimedia functions in 2007 are OUTSTANDING!!!

libdvdcss2 and Totem does a wonderful decode and presentation.

I also have problems with the updates repositories. It seems that urpmi is unable to correctly read the hdlist. Let's hope this get solved rapidly. At least, I'm not the only one with the problem! Wasn't sure if it the problem was with my configuration or the repositories...

I had problems with plf this morning, and found they had been removed from the mirrors I was using. I removed them, but found that some of the stuff from plf is in the main/contrib/updates repositories anyhow.

 

Maybe they'll be back later, the mirrors are going crazy right now.

Some followup to my previous post:

 

The repositories for Mandriva 2007

 

main

contrib

updates

free

non-free

 

have been pretty unstable since the release.

I been successfull to get the main, contrib,

free and non-free repositories to work but

I have yet to find a working functional updates

repository. Even though you can go to the ftp update

site(s) and review the content they don't seem to work.

I've tried the locations suggested by the MCC, Easy-Urpmi,

Smart_Urpmi and SeaOfSouls and none of the updates mirrors

suggested repositories work.

 

Even though the Updates repository appears to load

correctly if you attempt to use it here is the

error message I get:

 

A fatal error occurred: It's impossible to retrieve the list

of new packages from the media 'updates". Ether this

update media is misconfigured, and in this case you

should use the Software Media Manager to remove it and

re-add it in order to reconfigure it, either it is currently

unreachable and you should retry later..

 

---- end error message ----

 

So I suspect all of these mirrors are being fed the

same incorrect data and structure. There are not too

many update rpms in the 2007 updates repository so it's

not a big issue right now. But, I would hope that this

rights itself in the next week(s). Here's some I've tried:

 

ftp://linux.ups-tlse.fr/Mandrakelinux/off...a/main/updates/

ftp://ftp.proxad.net/pub/Distributions_Li...a/main/updates/

ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/Mandrakelinux...a/main/updates/

 

all with media_info/hdlist.cz

 

all contain the same files and structure and error out the same way if you

attempt to run an update from the MCC on 2007.

 

For me my two 2006 boxes have been updating just fine since the first

week of Jan 2006.

I would wait until monday. Mandriva has launched a full resyncing of the mirrors as too many of them were in a horrible condition and a complete resyncing of all mirrors will take some days.
