I have WIMAX that gets interrupted...stops working altogether. The connection is actually broken. Like just now:
-bash-3.2# pkg refresh -bash-3.2# pkg install pkg:/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0.5.11-0.86 Nothing to install in this image (is this package already installed?) -bash-3.2# pkg image-update ^C-bash-3.2PKG_CLIENT_TIMEOUT=2000 -bash-3.2# pkg image-update DOWNLOAD PKGS FILES XFER (MB) SUNWcups 32/536 1310/14880 222.55/1241.74pkg: An unexpected error happened during image-update: (131, 'Connection reset by peer') [The WIMAX died] [Starting all over again from the beginning] -bash-3.2# pkg image-update DOWNLOAD PKGS FILES XFER (MB) SUNWcsl 4/536 24/14884 3.35/1241.75 IPS does not pick up from where it left off downloading like Apt does at this stage from what I gather. It starts again from the very beginning. I am going to be lucky if I can maintain a connection for more than a couple hours at the most. Here I probably need 8 hours to download 1241.75 MB. Apparently the problem is being worked on: http://softwareblogs.intel.com/2008/06/20/opensolaris-old-annd-new-packages/ "Bart is a really nice guy and one of the wizards behind a number of packaging technologies at SUN. According to him, there is a lot of hygiene work going on in the IPS packaging system. For example, my one big complaint about pkg image-update when the update is really huge is that if your update halts before it's over (say, due to a networking timeout), then you have to start all over again! According to Bart, they are working on improvements in this area which should be available "in weeks." Apparently this is all being discussed in [EMAIL PROTECTED], a good place to go if you want to know more!" So long term I am optimistic. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
