Hi,

every now and then when I run sbocheck it says
Updating SlackBuilds tree...
and then nothing else happens.  Eventually, I ^C and I get
       ^CCould not sync from https://git.slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/.

But then when I try it again, I get
       .../sbo/repo exists and is not empty. Exiting.
(where "..." is the path to when I keep it that is not of interest).

Aside from deleting the repository and downloading the whole thing again, is
there a better way of recovering from this problem?

Thanks.
Jim

good day

do you have the REPO value set in the .conf file
it has been said that having it set helps stability

this is used here and has worked fine for a long time:
REPO=https://gitlab.com/SlackBuilds.org/slackbuilds.git

Yes, I have
       REPO=https://git.slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/
and have had that for quite a while.

                               Jim


That REPO line url you have, does not point to a repository as such...it is like an index/header page. If it worked previously I can't offer an explanation, however, if you put in the address you have and then the one I supplied and take a look ... as per the sbotools instructions, the URL has to point to a correctly formatted specific repository.

Hope that helps.

Regards
