since the directory we started from was contrib we want the hdlist for that set of packages.
I'm with you here.
Are you running cooker or 9.2? Cooker packages often don't play well with release compilers etc so I hope you have a reason to want that ajunta package from cooker. Just a word of caution, I always start breaking my install and go full cooker about halfway through a release cycle (or earlier) myself.
I've read caveats about cooker several times. anjuta is not in the cooker subdirectory, but in its contrib sibling, both under mandrake-devel. Is that equally as dangerous? The main reason I'm going there is that I'm just getting started with anjuta, and I read on the anjuta site that the new version fixes lots of bugs. Maybe I'd be better off just compiling it myself?
/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake-devel/cooker/i586/Mandrake/base
This directory has a whole bunch of hdlist files, plus one called hdlists which describe what they all do. Here is the contents of hdlists:
hdlist.cz Mandrake/RPMS Installation CD hdlist.src.cz ../SRPMS Installation sources hdlist2.cz Mandrake/RPMS2 Contrib CD hdlist2.src.cz ../../contrib/SRPMS Contrib sources hdlist3.cz Mandrake/RPMS3 Jpackage hdlist3.src.cz ../../contrib/jpackage/SRPMS Jpackage sources
Yeah I see it. The mirrors have a weird directory structure. Release trees are a bit simpler I think. Maybe. I'm still trying to figure out why you're working this backwards. The package manager has to know where the packages are, and the relative path from _there_ to the hdlists, not the other way around, which is what you're doing.
The reason I'm looking at it backwards is to convince myself, looking at hdlists above, that hdlist2.cz is the one I need. My reading of the list above is that hdlist2.cz is for this directory:
/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake/9.2/i586/Mandrake/RPMS2
which appears to be a symlink to
/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake/9.2/contrib/i586
But the directory I'm interested in is this one:
/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake-devel/contrib/i586
I did an eyeball comparison of these two directories and they are very similar but not exactly the same. The version of anjuta is different, and I happened to notice this new file in mandrake-devel that is not in mandrake/9.2:
anomy-sanitizer-1.63-7mdk.noarch.rpm
If I don't make it back tonight please be patient, or hopefully one of the smart people that read the list will jump in. I hope. I really do need to be horizontal for a few hours. Today actually started Thursday morning.
I know that feeling, don't run yourself into the ground. Happy New Year, Charlie.
