We've prefered to shut it down, to avoid losing mails. We arewaiting for the hosting support team for a physical intervention.The Mandriva 2007 directory had a bad sync . . they are reloading but it could take a good few hours. :(Please be patient . . . they are fixing the issues as fast as they can.

Bruno Posted October 11, 2006 Author Share Posted October 11, 2006 Just a heads up:Looks like the Mandriva mirrors are getting back in shape . . . and so is PLFOnly for PLF the URL changed . . . it used to be build up like: ftp://ftp.free.fr/pub/Distributions_Linux/plf/mandrake/free/2007.0/i586 and now it is ftp://ftp.free.fr/pub/Distributions_Linux/plf/mandrake/2007.0/free/release/binary/i586 So for as long as that stands adding the sources for PLF will be done with these commands: # urpmi.addmedia plf-free ftp://ftp.free.fr/pub/Distributions_Linux/plf/mandrake/2007.0/free/release/binary/i586 with hdlist.cz # urpmi.addmedia plf-nonfree ftp://ftp.free.fr/pub/Distributions_Linux/plf/mandrake/2007.0/non-free/release/binary/i586 with hdlist.cz BrunoPS: Also http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/ is back up running . . . but they do not include the PLF sources yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alphaomega Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 (edited) Just a heads up:Looks like the Mandriva mirrors are getting back in shape . . . and so is PLF<snip>Anyone having any luck with plf yet?All the miirrors I have tried, I keep getting errors with the hdlist and a md5sum mismatch.Cheers Edited October 13, 2006 by alphaomega Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted October 13, 2006 Author Share Posted October 13, 2006 Hi OmegaThey changed the place of the 2007 folder in the PLF mirrors . . here is the new code # urpmi.addmedia plf-free ftp://ftp.free.fr/pub/Distributions_Linux/plf/mandrake/2007.0/free/release/binary/i586 with hdlist.cz# urpmi.addmedia plf-nonfree ftp://ftp.free.fr/pub/Distributions_Linux/plf/mandrake/2007.0/non-free/release/binary/i586 with hdlist.cz Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checked this mirror...and I get an md5sum mismatch on synthesis.hdlist.cz for free and non-free and now i'm also getting it withthe mandriva 2007 official updates hdlist.cz but not with synthesis.hdlist.czP.S.S. boo hoo hoo...so much for all the trouble I went through...I changed my sources to either hdlist.cz or synthesis.hdlist.czdepending on which one had a correct md5sum...and all I get is..."all the packages are already installed"...so...so much my fussing...LOL Cheers Edited October 14, 2006 by alphaomega Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
