[nslu2-linux] Re: What happened to the nlsu2 repositories?

 

Ha! Let's hope there's more than just two persons running unslung! However, there seems to be not much development happening if I were to judge by the unavailability of modern kernels.

What I had to do is investigate each error that I was getting and then visit the link with a browser to see what was now missing from that path.  It seems that some 'native' directories have been done away with and only the ../cross/ is left.

So, I poked around in those directories and subdirectories on the repo server until I found some equivalent Packages.gz file and then used that path to modify my /etc/ipkg/*.conf entries:

# ls -la /etc/ipkg/                 
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         4096 Jun 21  2010 .
drwxr-xr-x    7 root     root         4096 Jun 24 19:33 ..
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          162 Jan  1  1970 arch.conf
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root           74 Jan  1  1970 cross-feed.conf
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root           77 Jun 23 19:49 native-feed.conf
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root           76 Jun 23 19:55 oe-feed.conf
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root           95 Jun 21  2010 optware-nslu2-cross-stable.conf
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root           98 Jun 23 19:45 optware-nslu2-native-stable.conf
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root          152 Jun  3  2010 unslung-cross.conf
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root           72 Jun 23 19:48 unslung-native.conf

In some of these conf files I had to comment out the line which was erroring out because I couldn't find its current equivalent path; e.g. http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/unslung/ no longer has a /native directory in it, only /modules and in /modules there is only /modules/cross. All packages in there are dated since 2008.

I am not getting any errors now, however, I am not sure if I have commented out too many repo feeds. Unless the maintainers post back to advise us of appropriate paths for our unslung feeds I fear I may missing out on some updates in the future.

Regards,

Mick

    Did you ever get anywhere with
        this?  I've been getting the 404's, too, for the last 2 weeks
        and yours is the only recent post I can find.  It's like we're
        the only one's left on the planet running unslung.
