adam_free2airhey 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). ie14:56
adam_free2airI: Retrieving coreutils 9.1-114:56
adam_free2airW: 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.deb14:56
adam_free2airi've not noticed any local networking issues outside of this behaviour within debootstrap.14:58
adam_free2airin fact local wget for .deb file will work perfectly seconds later.14:59
bb|hcbadam_free2air: I'd advise to select a single mirror that is close to you15:43
adam_free2airhi bb|hcb, thanks, will try ...15:49
bb|hcbadam_free2air: On a second thought, since you are building images for many people to use, it is more proper to use pkgmaster.devuan.org16:41
bb|hcbRegular users are not advised doing that, in order to have bandwidth for the mirrors to fetch from it16:42
fsmithredadam_free2air, if you are building excalibur or ceres images, you will have better luck with mmdebootstrap.16:55
fsmithredWith plain debootstrap, it tries to install some packages before their deps are installed and fails.16:56
adam_free2airfsmithred: 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
fsmithredadam_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_free2airthe problem is spurious, but have been testing with daedalus so far.18:02
adam_free2airmaybe the DNS round robin TTL is short & I occasionally hit a problematic mirror? not sure yet.18:03
fsmithredThat happens to me sometimes when using live-sdk.18:10
adam_free2airyup, 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|hcbadam_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 stable19:17
adam_free2airbb|hcb: thanks for the tips!19:19
bb|hcbyw :)19:23
