Re: [Cooker] Trying To Install Cooker
The problem stem from inconsistencies in the database. The files hdlist.cz, and depslist.ordered contain a refernce to old kernel rpms, while the RPMS dir contain new versions. In order to succeed, replace 10 with 11 as follows: (check both files above) kernel-2.4.0-11mdk -1 kernel-doc-2.4.0-11mdk -1 kernel-headers-2.4.0-11mdk -1 kernel-pcmcia-cs-2.4.0-11mdk -1 kernel-smp-2.4.0-11mdk -1 kernel-source-2.4.0-11mdk -1 kernel-utils-2.4.0-11mdk -1 lm_utils-2.4.0_2.5.5-11mdk -1 After doing so I was able to install cooker with no complaints. However, from my experience, it seems that these files are incosistent most of the time and it would have been nice if some procedure existed for making them updated locally so a fresh install could be done. This request should probably be directed to the developers themselves.

I am sure when I hear the answer I'm gonna be ticked, but at least I'll know! :) I have used Debian for a while now, but used Mandrake 7.0 when it hit the streets (really impressive). 7.2 was even better, but I would really like to start contributing to cooker if at all possible.

Avoiding problems with corrupted packages when installing from a rsync'ed directory [was: Re: [Cooker] Trying To Install Cooker]

However, from my experience, it seems that these files are incosistent most of the time and it would have been nice if some procedure existed for making them updated locally so a fresh install could be done. We experience problems with rebuild of this stuff at each Cooker upload. Warly/flepied should take care of that but they are at NY for Linux-Expo and they've had trouble for the past days with the scripts, that's why (AFAIK). To rebuild by yourself between rsync's here's the relevant extract from gi/docs/README (for once we write docs!). -=-=-- If you have your own rpms you want to add, or make your own updated cdrom, you just have to issue: % gendistrib --noclean --distrib DIRS Where DIRS is the root of all the media that the install will see: (1) network or 1-cdrom installs DIRS == the root directory of the Distribution (2) multi-cdrom install DIRS == the root directories of all the media that the install will see ``gendistrib'' will scan, from the DIRS you provide, for some Mandrake/RPMS* directories containing some RPM packages. For multi-cd, please use Mandrake/RPMS, Mandrake/RPMS2, etc. For one CD or a network/hd volume, please use Mandrake/RPMS. Optionnally, you can modify ``Mandrake/base/rpmsrate''; this file manages the relative importance of the files, and thus their installation or not. -=-=-- -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://us.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/
