Are the Slitaz repos down?


Hi. I just wanted to see if anyone else is having trouble connecting to the Slitaz repos with "tazpkg get-install"?

Thanks.

Yepp. I had the same problem.

I looked and found some mirrors:

#http://mirror.slitaz.org/packages/cooking/
http://download.tuxfamily.org/slitaz/packages/cooking/
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/...kages/cooking/
http://ftp.vim.org/ftp/os/Linux/dist...kages/cooking/
http://slitaz.c3sl.ufpr.br/packages/cooking/

You can add them to your: /var/lib/tazpkg/mirror

I uncommented the original repo, because #1 it gives timeouts and #2 it overrides my handmade "mirror"-file.

Note: tazpkg seems to dislike my uncommented link. It gives an error, but will go ahead.

Just an FYI to anyone reading this - current versions of slitaz don't like the comment, and will not see updates from the mirrors if the commented mirror is at the top of the list. Just swap the downed server with the next in the list and you'll be good to go.
