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...

I don't recall any of this kind of wait with past releases. ISO's came on the heels of the mandrake_release RPM finally being updated. This is just speculation on my part, but I'm guessing the lack of ISOs has to do with the kernel problem folks have mentioned here repeatedly. IMHO, they are just timing the ISO release to happend at the same time as the official anouncement for once... It seems a security vuln and kernel patch was released at the last minute, to late for the normal process of verification and inclusion on the release ISOs. Never-the-less, the patch was added, and the corrected Kernel packages created and delivered. The patch was small, it did not break anything, and it wasn't last minute, since it was known in good time before the official security vuln announcement... The problem appears to be that in the confusion of doing this at the last minute, without the normal verification and etc. someone made a mistake, and reused a previous kernel release number for the new kernel RPMs. IMHO it wasn't a mistake, the name was kept to not break the official ISO build scripts... Unfortunately, this means the various automated tools don't see the new kernel as a change from the previous one, and don't pick up that RPM. At the same time, the official list along with sizes and probably the MD5 checksums include and are based on the new kernel version, that the automated tools don't pick up, because it looks to them the same as an old one. Thus, there are all sorts of errors. So do a manual rsync on the cooker tree... It will pick up the change That brings us to the human side. My guess is that in the work-up to the release, days off and other such things were skipped, and as soon as it was out the door, pretty much everyone left for the weekend, to catch up on the days off and such. It's also possible that a number of folks were leaving Mdk to be effective at 9.1 release, due to the continual streamlining due to the financial problems. These folks will now have cleared out their desk and be gone permanently. Anyway, the problem is likely that the automated tools can't fix the problem as outlined above, and anybody that can do anything about it took off until next week. Likewise, anyone in a position to make an official comment on it is off for the weekend, as it was supposed to be all out and all good, by now. Now this is way off ... IIRC Warly (or another MDK employee) posted a message after 9.0 release how the official ISOs gets delivered ... 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...

Re: [Cooker] ISO-8859-* fonts
Kaixo!
From: Radek Vybiral [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: [Cooker] ISO-8859-* fonts
why has beta1 ALL ISO-8859-* fonts for X packaged together?
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.
Thanks.

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.

Re: [Cooker] ISO images - is a binary diff file possible ??
howabout xdelta delta -9 beta3.iso rc1.iso beta_2_rc1_upgrade.gz How about: rsync -av remote.mirror.site::/path/to/iso /localpath/to/iso --partial --progress --stats this will do effectively what diff does, and only brings down what is required. ie if the file is the same in many places, this will only bring down the differences, and give you an identical copy of the remote file. it usually saves me 500MB on a 600 MB iso (one version to the next) some times even more, sometimes less.
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
Yes. I think when you use the hd.img or cdrom.img (can't remember), you can specify that you want to install from an ISO image. No, you don't. All you need is this floppy-disk image and the ISO, that's all. That is, if I understood you correctly. How I understood you was, that you have the Mandrake ISO on hard drive and want to install it without burning it to a CD. True? Yes, that's exactly what I was asking, 'cuz I don't have a burner.

[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

Do you mean mount -t iso9660 -o loop /.../odyssey-rc.iso /mnt/iso ? 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 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.

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. That's what you mean. 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.

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. Note also that 99% of the ISO image contents contains RPM files, which can't be furthermore packed. 3. If it was say 20-50%, would you produce one for the mirrors ? 4. Would it be similar for 'Extension' cdroms ? Bye. Giuseppe.

All you need to call is ./genisocooker and make sure that a) all the scripts
are in the current directory and b) that the settings in genisocooker fits
your needs.

[Cooker] ISO making script
Is the cooker list archived somewhere? 72beta_mkcd.sh was totally broken on my (Mandrake 7.1) system. The genfilelist command does not exist either in my distro or in the mirrored files. Where can I get one. To discover this, I had first to find out after much waiting that the 72beta_mkcd script itself is dead, in particular, the section which moves stuff back out of the second CD's RPMS2 directory into the first's RPMS directory needed a sed filter to extract each base RPM name before applying a wildcarded mv to it (see attached script, at line 94). -- double value;/* or your money back! */ short changed; /* so triple your money back! */ -- Larry Wall in cons.c from the perl source code 72beta1_mkcd.sh
