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
Try rm -rf /tmp/.build_hist(or something similar). That cleared a problem for me before.

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.

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.
