Re: [Cooker] 8.2 beta4. bug Mdk Update.
Luc--- I'm sorry you got shot down the way you did. Please don't stop being a beta tester. Beta testers are what makes a great distro release, and you are appreciated! :) I'm sure Andrej just had a bad day. :( --Bill === Luc Roseberry wrote: [EMAIL PROTECTED]"> Le mar 05/03/2002 à 09:51, Borsenkow Andrej a écrit : It is development list.

I have just added FTP source without any problem. It may be that site is busy (as is sunsite.uio.no now). I agree that not showing error message is not nice. Can you suggest how to do it given that we may use two completely different download programs? It may be that firewall does not allow incoming FTP DATA connections. I am not going to debug anybody's stupid firewall setup. If somebody does not know that FTP requires incoming connection it is not my problem. If you _do_ debug it and _does_ turn out FTP DATA problem - please tell so and I look what can be done to add "need passive FTP" to urpmi/rpmdrake. It may be that you have proxy that needs authentication. Yes, it is currently not supported. It may be something totally unrelated. In this case please, debug and tell us what the problem is. It is development list. People are expected to debug there problems and come here with at least suggestions what has to be done to fix them not coming here ranting and wining. There are enough other places for it. Or at least report problems in such way that makes it possible to track them down (not that I am always doing it this way myself :-) -andrej

Same here. That error is running since beta 3. Hope it will be fixed before General Release. And I will try to have more "_verbatim_" output but has it is an old bug reported by many I would have thought that it would be fixed now.
