installing rsync

[William A. Mahaffey III]

I just tried to install rsync using pkgin & I got the following:


4256EE1 # pkgin install rsync
calculating dependencies... done.

nothing to upgrade.
1 packages to be installed: rsync-3.1.1 (294K to download, 655K to install)

proceed ? [Y/n]
downloading packages...
rsync-3.1.1 is not available on the repository
proceed ? [y/N] y
installing packages...
pkg_install warnings: 0, errors: 0
4256EE1 #


Nothing in my messages file, /var/db/pkgin/cache had a rsync.tgz dated
today when I ran the command, but it was zero sized. Did I just catch
the std. repo at a bad time ? Are there other sanctioned repos ? TIA &
have a good one.

Hi

I'm building from 2015Q2 source on i386. Distfiles has
rsync-3.1.1.tar.gz whilst packages has rsync-3.1.1nb1.tgz.
Maybe you just need to wait and try again in a day or two.

Hi, William.

What do you have in repositories.conf?

That's kinda what I figured, might have caught the repo
updating/recompiling. Thanks.

Don't have the file in /etc, don't even have a /etc/pkgin directory :-/.
I *think* I did a 'pkg_add pkgin' a week or 2 ago, but unfortunately I
don't recall precisely. A bit more info I should have included in the OP:

Thanks & TIA for any more info.

*Aaaaaaaahhhhh* !!!! That did it, thanks. I thought pkgin might sorta do
the update automagically whenever it was invoked, but no matter, simple
to do. *Booooyah* !!!!

Anyway, can you do a "pkgin update" and then the install?

# pkgin update
# pkgin install rsync

The "pkgin update" should synchronize the pkgin database with the
package repo (whichever one you're using). You have to run the update
command regularly to keep them in sync.

?? That's not what I'm after. It should be in
${PREFIX}/etc/pkgin/repositories.conf (or overridden by the PKG_REPOS
environment variable). You don't have that file?

What bootstrap did you use to get pkgin?

If that's true, then I'd say the repo updating needs some work. I would
think it should add new packages and then create a pkg_summary.bz2.new
(or whatever) and atomically move it to the pkg_summary.bz2 file. It
should keep old packages for, say, a day, before deleting them to ensure
that a large active pkgin install, upgrade, etc., does not fail because
a package it expects has disappeared from the repo.

I wouldn't think so because pkgin gets its repository information from
the repository's pkg_summary archive, so I would expect that to be in
sync with whatever is actually in the repository.

However, if William has more than one repository configured in
repositories.conf, then I don't know what the behavior is.

William, you could also try a "pkgin update" to ensure you have the
latest information on available packages.

Lewis
