 The first questions pop up around the OpenPKG Registry.
 
 We will try hard to answer all of them to you. Let me just share a few
 personal points with you:

 What has happened to rsync access?  My nightly mirror run
 succeeded in deleting everything from our mirrors here.

Sorry for the delay. RSYNC access is resurrected. The difference is just
that plain anonymous-RSYNC is not possible because rsync(1) doesn't
support both anonymous and non-anonymous in parallel. If you have
registered with [EMAIL PROTECTED] you can now RSYNC again with:

$ RSYNC_PASSWORD= rsync -r -v \
  rsync://[EMAIL PROTECTED]@rsync.openpkg.org/openpkg-ftp/[...] [...]

Instead of the old:

$ rsync://rsync.openpkg.org/openpkg-ftp/[...] [...]

Please recognize that no password is required as the applied
restrictions are for tracking and not for security reasons. Same applies
to the FTP server: for security reasons never login with your real
registered password, just use an empty one, please. You are required to
just identify yourself, not to authenticate.

 While I try to keep up on all the news and such here, I still miss a few
 things here and there.  However, I think that perhaps a few things may
 not have been discussed like the specifics of what things and when
 exactly they would be going offline for anonymous access.  The problem
 with rsync, of course, is that I was using the --delete option which
 means everything was wiped out.  However, I anticipate such problems in
 my coding so I had a rather simple recover and I just stopped the rsync
 mirror script for now.  If/When you find time to get the rsync bit back
 up, I would be more than happy to help you test it.

RSYNC is resurrected. You can just use it again:

Hi Ralf!

What I am missing are instructions to get hold of the openpkg-registry
package since I think it is non obvious to use a package from /current
if i run /release/x.y.

It would be helpful to have the openpkg-registry also in the release
tree from the releases, especialy since the 'openpkg build
openpkg-registry' would find it there.

Yes, of course. We just wanted to let it be tested a little bit more in
depth until we place it also into at least the OpenPKG 2.5 RELEASE tree.
But expect this to happen in the next days, too.

Well there seems to be something still broke. I get:

rsync://[EMAIL PROTECTED]@rsync.openpkg.org/openpkg-ftp/release/2.2/

Maybe you were just two fast. While the ProFTPD directly authenticates
against the underlying SQL database (and this way your account is active
immediately), the RSYNC still has to read the information from a plain
text file. And this plain text file is updated every 15 minutes only.
Perhaps you were two fast in trying RSYNC after registration?

obmtool (Was: Re: OpenPKG Registry launched)

2005-11-30 Thread Thomas Lotterer
There is a new obmtool [1] available from ZfOS [2] for use in the new
OpenPKG Registry world order. New features are mirror support, choice
of download tool with fallbacks and user/pass support. The latter
especially understands and obeys the URL rewriting of those instances
who utilize that feature after registration. Find ChangeLog and sample
obmtool.conf alongside.

Requires openpkg-registry-0.2.5, it won't rewrite URLs with previous
versions.
