[gentoo-user] Anybody know where to ftp genpatches-2.6.12-7.base.tar.bz2?

[Dave Nebinger]

I did a sync last night and gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r4 wants to be emerged.
Got the kernel ok, but it needs genpatches-2.6.12-7.base.tar.bz2.

I've searched a number of the mirrors and so far haven't found it.

Anyone out there know where I can find it?

Daniel Drake is responsible for the genpatches:

Thanks!  Worked like a charm!

The only question I would have is why a new ebuild would be released before
the genpatches tarballs were made available in the distfiles...  Wouldn't
the genpatches tarballs be requirements for the new ebuild?

I always wait until the patches appear on the mother mirror before releasing
the ebuild. I think you are just unlucky in the mirrors you have tried.

It can be found here, and should have made itself onto all of the other
mirrors by now.

Don't get me wrong, Daniel, I'm not trying to point any fingers here nor am
I trying to ruffle anyone's feathers...

My sync occurred last night at 12:10 am EST but I didn't get a chance to
emerge -uD world until around 11am EST this morning.  I searched through
10-15 ftp mirrors manually looking for the file and it hadn't been released
anywhere that I could see.

That's why I had asked about the ebuild being available (somewhat
significantly) before the dependent files were also available.

Perhaps this is an issue on my end, that the sync that I'm automatically
performing at 12:10 am EST is during some synchronization window that I'm
not aware of since I got the ebuild before the distfile sync.

Hi,
Some time ago a mail (here) suggested to put
"http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo" as the last entry in /etc/make.conf
explaining this to be the main/parent gentoo mirror site. Have it in my
make.conf too. Opinions somebody.

Just checked a few mirrors and it looks like our mirroring system isn't
working correctly, in that it hasn't spread from our main mirror at osuosl.

They are not synchronized at all. I make the patch tarballs, and upload them
to our mirroring system. I then wait 4-5 hours for them to appear on
gentoo.osuosl.org, then I manually release the ebuild. Usually, by the time
the ebuild hits the live portage tree, the tarballs have already spread onto
many more mirrors.

It's two separate processes, so theres no synchronization window to worry about.

Filed a bug for this issue at http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98250

Thanks,
Daniel
