The reason for that is that the ftp.uninett.no (same as obsolete sunsite.uio.no name), rsync had been broken on August 27, and started to resync yesterday... And the rsync catching up process is still running according to the uninett.no rsync admin... if everything goes with current speed, it will have catched up by tomorrow... Regards Thomas

They don't get posted on the mirrors after a automated iso build, instead they get built under strict control by Warly, then they get distributed among the MDK employees that test the final ISOs, and if they are all happy, the ISOs will be posted on the MDK master server where the primary mirrors can pick them up, and after that all other mirrors that rsyncs of the primary mirrors...

You shouldn't have to use 90 minute CD-R discs with the ISOs. I have found these discs to be less reliable than 80 minute ones (they don't work with as many drives, that is).

Kaixo!

They now are created from a single source of a unicode bitmap font.
> I don't like ISO-8859-{9|13|15} waste my disk space!
> I'm using only ISO-8859-2 fonts for Czech language.
In fact, once XFree86 will be able to recode on the fly the bitmap fonts
the same way it does with TTF, Speedo and Type1, then only one physical
file will be needed, the one for the iso10646-1 one, and nothing more.
But as that is not possible yet, then we need to provide the same support
of 8bit encodings as previously: iso8859-{1,2,5,7,8,9,13,15}.
It is not very practical to package them in different rpm packages, as
that will involve a real huge amount of work, as the various encodings
are mixed in the same directories.
So the question was, do we provide old encodings for bitmap fonts?
And if yes, which ones?
It was decided to provide the ones previously provided (maybe in different
packages for some of them).
Note that some of those encodings are provided since long time; the
difference is now there are also unicode encoded fonts, and the non-unicode
encodings use explicit naming of the encoding in the file name.
You can delete them:
rm /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/*-ISO8859-{3,5,7,8,9,13,15}.pcf.gz
for i in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/*
do
( cd $i && mkfontdir )
done
(it is not advisable to delete iso8859-1 fonts, even if you don't use them
some programs can complain loudly)
Note also, that we changed the build options of XFree86 to not build all
possible non unicode font versions; a default compilation of XFree86 is
much worst.

You will be prompted. This is a question for the newbie (or expert if newbie is unsuccessful) list. It is highly unappreciated on this, the cooker development list.
[Cooker] iso images
Is it possible to install directly from a iso image file, thus without first burning a cd. I don't have a cdwriter.
Re: [Cooker] iso file creation
I found an error in the log that there wasn't enough room on the iso file partition to hold the iso files. I ran the script again. This time, I got a 1.7 gig iso file 1, a 600+ meg iso file 2, and an 80+ meg iso file 3. The second and third iso files sound about the right size, but the first one is even bigger than it was before. I have tried your command and also deleting the .build_hist directory with no results. what program is used to make the .cz files? -Original Message- From: Todd Richmond <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Friday, June 15, 2001 10:07 AM Subject: Re: [Cooker] iso file creation >Try rm -rf /tmp/.build_hist(or something similar).

Re: [Cooker] iso file creation
Okay, I tried it again and I still get that one big iso file. rpmslist sorts the files out by cd and the script reads rpmslist, and then I see that the script pushes files according to the rpmslist somewhere, but something must be going wrong somewhere. -Original Message- From: Warly <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Friday, June 15, 2001 12:55 AM Subject: Re: [Cooker] iso file creation >"pablito" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > >> I have tried to mirror cooker and make the iso files several times.

Fw: [Cooker] iso file creation
no I checked, and there is 2 gigs of free space, seems like enough room for temporary iso files if any were being created.

Re: [Cooker] iso file creation
Do you need to have enough space on the linux partition to hold all of the iso files? I noticed that the script was making these compressed images in /tmp. As I said, I put the linux file downloads in a windows partition since linux can read windows but not the other way around. We just got DSL here and so far only one laptop is connected to it and it's not networked. I have to download on that computer, then attach it to another computer and transfer the files to it since the laptop doesn't have a CD burner. -Original Message- From: Warly <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Friday, June 15, 2001 12:55 AM Subject: Re: [Cooker] iso file creation >"pablito" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > >> I have tried to mirror cooker and make the iso files several times.

This is not linked to the mirroring process. This only have to do with the Mandrake/base/rpmslist file. This files contains the cooker packages separated by CDs. As there are often new packages or new libraries into cooker, these files, that I only check once every one or 2 weeks, are not up to date, and as a consequence there are packages present in the repository but not in the file, these packages are added to the last iso images automatically. > c.

Re: [Cooker] iso file creation
I have tried to mirror cooker and make the iso files several times. Since everyone else makes these with no problems, I figured I must be doing something wrong. There was something wrong with the mkcds install script at first. Then I found out mkisofs is not installed by default and installed it. Now, the result is fairly standard: a. A message saying I don't have locale configured right, which I checked and found that locale is installed and appears to be configured. b. At the end of the script, messages that files were not found in the scripts and were being added to the last iso file. This happens no matter how many times I repeat the mirroring process. (I could not get the DSL connection to work in linux so I am using a windows program called syncromagic that seems to make a copy of the site and delete non-matching files.) c. Result: I get three iso files, one 1.2 gigs in size and the other 2 of 0 bytes apiece. I got this same result once by running mkcds.pl by itself. Is there something else that needs to be installed besides mkisofs? I have bzip and gzip on there. Does it make a difference that the cooker files and iso destination directory are on windows partitions? I have been putting them there so as not to lose the files if I screw up a linux installation fooling around.

The module name usually coincides with a step in the actual path, the module idea is only a 'shortcut' to reduce common path lengths. rsync remote.mirror.site::Mandrake-iso will get you a list of what is available from that library. rsync -n --progress --stats \ remote.mirror.site::Mandrake-iso/ \ /localpath/to/iso sets up a dry run (no downloading) which will give you a list of the full names of what would otherwise be downloaded.

Re: [Cooker] ISO images - is a binary diff file possible ??
Is it relevant as to how the two data streams are compressed, we are interested in compressing the difference stream. might be to a pure maths type person, bit beyond mine howabout xdelta delta -9 beta3.iso rc1.iso beta_2_rc1_upgrade.gz assuming xdelta can handle 640M files ;-) it's been trundling along upstairs for about 10hrs, but its a p2-233 128M so it could take awhile. perhaps someone else could take a crack at it as well i tried it yesterday with 100M off the front of each iso, but can't remember the size of the result file. i stopped it in order to go for delta'ing the lot. i wouldn't have done that if the size wasn't quite small, maybe 30M if you were tracking mandrake, had pulled the first beta, and had the choice of another 640M or 150M download and 'patching' ??

Re: [Cooker] ISO on hd
Ummm... Why is it, that if you don't specify the ISO name on the first ISO mount attempt it looks for ReiserFS on all subsequent attempts? I'm talking about with hd.img. JJ

Well, I don't suppose it is possible to do it that way. To install a new distrbution (! Mandrake), you certainly have to boot your machine, and when you're booting, you'll of course unmount everything. Especially your loop devices. If the thing you're trying to install cannot be installed from a running Linux, ie. it has to be booted, and when that thing cannot be installed from a set of files on some hard drive, you're out of luck. If it can do the latter, you can mount like instructed, copy everything in some easily remembered place, and do the install from there. If the first case is true, you may as well install from that mentioned mount point. I hope I could give you some insight.

I could really not see any use for that much, so I started to use my fantasie. I have a coyote firewall that runs within 12 MB of RAM. With a coming 256 MB of RAM, I could use a piece of it to run a small Linux. This Linux could then install, by running as a cdrom-filter, my ISO image onto a newly formatted partition. Well, that was my initial thought, but I have understood that I somtimes do day-dreaming. regards guran

To be frank, I don't know what I mean, because then I should have it so structured that I could look for the correct commands. As I see it, Linux looks at data through filters, as from /dev. Thus an iso image is just an image on top of whatever. As certain distributions only make iso images public, meaning I can't use an hd.img installation, as with Mandrake. So I want to install from a hd - iso image. I will study the man pages concerning your script line, thanks. regards guran

[Cooker] ISO on hd
Hi I am on my way to an upgrade so I have a question: Is it feasable to mount a hd partition, as a large ISO 9660 image? This could thus be used as cdrom, for me that don't have a cd-burner. I may then easily test any ISO image. If it is possible, where can I find out how? regards guran

Would a binary difference file be possible ? yes, through xdelta, using xdelta delta RC1.iso RC3.iso RC3.xd and then rebuild xdelta patch RC3.xd RC1.iso RC3.iso > 2. Would it necessaryily be significantly smaller ? it's not said, but could be. We don't know unless we try, but depends on how many RPM packages are changed and how they are placed in the ISO image. Generally if you do an xdelta between two RPMs (whose files differs only in a few bytes) the size of the "delta" file is near the size of the original file (because the gzipped stream is totally different). I never did that on two "almost" near .ISO image files. > 2a. How would it compress ? xdelta files are already gzipped.
