[gentoo-user] module-init-tools - can not download it
Where is module-init-tools-3.16-r2? My system wants to upgrade it and it is mark stable but I can not download it at all. I know kmod is going to replace it eventually but it is not mark stable yet. -- Joseph

Consider changing your GENTOO_MIRRORS setting if you think the ones you are using are too slow, or just wait an hour and try again.

Consider the idea that: 1) There are 1000 mirrors out there. (made up number - I have no idea how many) 2) There's a glitch in your server or it's internet connection, or it's simply off-line for a short time for maintenance or backups or something. 3) The Gentoo-devs push out an update. The result: 1) My mirror gets the update 2) Your mirror does not, at least for a little while As I'm guessing from these questions that you are relatively new to Gentoo keep in mind that Gentoo is a BIG thing in terms of all the servers around the world that are supporting it. There's no way 999 servers should wait for one more to come on-line. What if it never comes on-line? So they push stuff out, it goes where it can, and where it cannot go it goes later, or never. You get to choose your mirrors. You get to change your mirrors. (Using mirrorselect IIRC) You're free to change them. I have lots of times. WRT your mirrors, I've never used _any_ of them so I don't know they are reliable. I agree with Bruce that http://gentoo.osuosl.org/ tends to be very reliable. I run Gentoo on a number of machine here at home. I purposely use different mirrors on each one to give me a little more redundancy and then rsync between them is one of them cannot get the data from outside. I do use http://gentoo.osuosl.org/ on another machine, just not the one I'm on right now. (And referring to my little initramfs thread, the one that has now booted from an initramfs inside the kernel as per Neil's inputs!) yipee! HTH, Mark
