| adam_free2air | hey all. building some experimental devuan rpi images today & i'm seeing some odd behaviour with debootstrap. devuan packages are sporadically unable to load (different packages each time). ie | 14:56 |
|---|---|---|
| adam_free2air | I: Retrieving coreutils 9.1-1 | 14:56 |
| adam_free2air | W: Couldn't download package coreutils (ver 9.1-1 arch armel) at http://deb.devuan.org/merged/pool/DEBIAN/main/c/coreutils/coreutils_9.1-1_armel.deb | 14:56 |
| adam_free2air | i've not noticed any local networking issues outside of this behaviour within debootstrap. | 14:58 |
| adam_free2air | in fact local wget for .deb file will work perfectly seconds later. | 14:59 |
| bb|hcb | adam_free2air: I'd advise to select a single mirror that is close to you | 15:43 |
| adam_free2air | hi bb|hcb, thanks, will try ... | 15:49 |
| bb|hcb | adam_free2air: On a second thought, since you are building images for many people to use, it is more proper to use pkgmaster.devuan.org | 16:41 |
| bb|hcb | Regular users are not advised doing that, in order to have bandwidth for the mirrors to fetch from it | 16:42 |
| fsmithred | adam_free2air, if you are building excalibur or ceres images, you will have better luck with mmdebootstrap. | 16:55 |
| fsmithred | With plain debootstrap, it tries to install some packages before their deps are installed and fails. | 16:56 |
| adam_free2air | fsmithred: thanks, i'm building chimaera, daedalus and excalibur with a branch of https://github.com/dyne/rpi-img-builder which currently uses debootstrap, but could potentially substitute with mmdebootstrap ... | 17:57 |
| fsmithred | adam_free2air, that's worth a try. Are you having trouble building all of those or just excal? | 17:59 |
| adam_free2air | (jenkins on ci.free2air.net currently uses this repo to build nightly RPI images uploaded to arm-files.devuan.org) once cleaned up it would be good to migrate this to devuan jenkins. | 18:00 |
| adam_free2air | the problem is spurious, but have been testing with daedalus so far. | 18:02 |
| adam_free2air | maybe the DNS round robin TTL is short & I occasionally hit a problematic mirror? not sure yet. | 18:03 |
| fsmithred | That happens to me sometimes when using live-sdk. | 18:10 |
| adam_free2air | yup, setting to a single mirror worked. but nightly building i hit repos pretty hard for armel, armhf & arm64 for chimaera, daedalus & excalibut so it would be more polite to spread the load across reliable mirrors ... | 19:08 |
| bb|hcb | adam_free2air: pkgmaster has 1gbps, (whatever)bootstrap shouldn't be able to saturate that ;) About mirrors, you can try mine or onefang's, both should be pretty stable | 19:17 |
| adam_free2air | bb|hcb: thanks for the tips! | 19:19 |
| bb|hcb | yw :) | 19:23 |
