wilcal Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 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.

CarlJF Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 I was having some problems withthe updates repositories but I'm sure that'll work itself out. 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 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.

wilcal Posted October 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexter11 Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Try synthesis.hdlist.cz on the update mirrors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilcal Posted October 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Try synthesis.hdlist.cz on the update mirrors. Thanks. I'll give that a go this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 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.
