Problem with Mandriva repository (rpm)

[jice]

Hi

It is not anymore possible to add the google rpm repo to a Mandriva
distribution, because the md5 sum of ./synthesis.hdlist.cz is
different that the one in ./MD5SUM:

[fred@localhost ~]$ cat MD5SUM
a7554933a9f4ffd64b824ebd86bfbd10 hdlist.cz
d1b76df8ac9f7f27e303efa55827c9cc synthesis.hdlist.cz
a798f22fb058bde21020f81dab83b32d info.xml.lzma
cf078b962c738a2d9db55179a6434ca3 files.xml.lzma
c8f8013f2c8c8bddf1e390a9d20ef6d8 changelog.xml.lzma
[fred@localhost ~]$ md5sum synthesis.hdlist.cz
2415e2579aea755f62f181061678ef8e synthesis.hdlist.cz

The result is:

urpmi.addmedia -v google http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/stable/i386
with hdlist.cz
<snip>
échec de la récupération de [http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/stable/
i386/synthesis.hdlist.cz] (inégalité md5sum)

and the media is not added.

Could someone from Google fix this please?

Furthermore, I just tried:
urpmi.addmedia -v google http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/stable/i386

and it worked, because it searches for the 2 files in media_info/ and
not the current directory.

So: the files in . have to be removed, and the FAQ / tutorial updated.

Thanks in advance

Furthermore, I just noticed that the repo, installed this way, only
has google-chrome-unstable and google-desktop-linux.
Picasa is not there, contrary to what is said here:
http://picasa.google.com/linux/faq.html#5b
So I suppose there may be a lot of packages also missing :-(

Thanks in advance for fixing this!

Try running urpmi.addmedia without the "with hdlist.cz" part. The
instructions are probably a bit out of date. The newest version of
Mandriva doesn't even list "with hdlist.cz" as an option in the
urpmi.addmedia man page. Also, the Picasa packages are there and
they're listed in the synthesis file.

Thanks Leiz
That's what I did (see end of my 1st post)

urpmi.addmedia -v google http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/stable/i386

which works fine. What should be done is updating the documentation,
as Mandriva is very good for newbies, and they won't find this by
themselves...

And my mistake, here is the repository contents:
$ urpmf --media google --qf "%name-%version" '.'
picasa-2.7.3736
google-chrome-unstable-4.0.207.0
google-desktop-linux-1.2.0

So picasa is here, but an old version... The 3.0 beta should be
present (so that more people could test it), and what about all the
other software from Google? At least Google Earth?

Somebody from Google around?

Well, for the record:

Picasa 3 is in the "testing" repository that you install this way:
sudo urpmi.addmedia -v google-testing http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/testing/i386

$ urpmf --media google-testing --qf "%name-%version" .
picasa-3.0.5744

So what I do not understand, is why the heck google-chrome-
unstable-4.0.207.0 is in the repository named "stable", especially
when there is a "testing" repository?
