ibiblio out of space issues

[vinnie]

If we ask to publish an article of request on information sites like distrowatch?

[curaga]

We're hopefully over the issue now: http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,14546.0.html

Please report any issues in this thread.


bmarkus, would you like to keep the armv6 master still?

bmarkus, would you like to keep the armv6 master still?

Yes, it makes development more efficient in this phase, no wait for new extensions, changes appear in repo.

Of course we can rsync it to the official repo if there is a space and add to armv6 mirror list.

Hi curaga

what am I supposed to see when the server moves please?
my time is 8 hours ahead of UTC and your other post is time December 14, 2012, 12:36:36 PM

trivia below
when I click at TC main site to Downloads I see
http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/downloads.html

mirrors.tcz is showing a Nov date

cheers

we are a bit slow in Australia so take your time replying if at all 

[curaga]

Hm, yes, the top bar here at the forum still points to the old location. The wiki doesn't seem to have such links outside the wiki.

Mirrors.tcz and a new release defaulting to the new location will be out later, now it's mainly the website. When you put "tinycorelinux.net", you should see "tinycorelinux.net", not a redirect to ibiblio. It may take up to a day if your provider's DNS is slow.


edit: The top bar should now have correct links.

Hi curaga
The Tinycore website feels a lot snappier now. Page loads are almost instantaneous now.
Are you still in the process of moving files? When I navigate to  http://tinycorelinux.net/4.x/x86/tcz/  all I see is
a page of text listing extensions, no way to download them. On  http://tinycorelinux.net/4.x/x86/scm/  I get: mostly
dates and file sizes with the last 9 entries having partial file names. Clicking on them returns  Not Found.

Hi curaga
Also the / entry in  http://tinycorelinux.net/4.x/x86/scm/  takes me to the Tinycore website instead of moving up one
directory level.

Once you are seeing the new site and no longer being redirected to ibiblio then please edit /opt/tcemirror to use the new site: http://repo.tinycorelinux.net then apps GUI and scmaps GUI should work with the new site. I will be releasing a 7.2 update with /opt/tcemirror defaulting to repo.tinycorelinux.net in a couple of days.

Please report any issues in this thread.

Navigating to http://www.tinycorelinux.net/4.x/x86_64/tcz/ with a browser, I see a three column table - name/last time modified/size - name is blank, but the other two columns have data.

[bmarkus]

Repo access is really fast from Budapest. Well it is hosted in Germany, not in the States. Performace is enhanced, not just the space issue solved. From US it may look different.

[curaga]

The text list was intentional, it is a lot faster to just push info.lst than to generate a file listing of a huge directory. Also helps in gently nudging to avoid direct extension downloads

The listing generation is a big cpu user if allowed in such a dir. Jason and Juanito, please adjust your scripts so that scm and x86_64/tcz get the unpacked info.lst generated for them for this reason.

Hi curaga
That's unfortunate. Every once in a while I download a package so I can look inside it without installing it and
all its dependencies.

[curaga]

The files are there of course, so copy-pasting the name will work. But we also tried a pre-generated html extension page before, and that was still huge (a couple mb IIRC).

[Rich]

Hi curaga
Thanks, that works. Sounds like a good trade off to help keep the repo running smoothly.

[roberts]

Rich,  Apps GUI browser tabs, or tce select options, displays each of the files on the server.
If that is not sufficient there is always tce-fetch.sh to actually download an individual file.
