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
