slackware.uk (aka slackware.org.uk) not updating?


It looks like ftp://slackware.uk/slackware/ and http://slackware.uk/slackware/ are not updating.
Using ftp://slackware.no/slackware/ now ...
I also tried http://bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/slackware/, but for reasons not researched compat32pkg cannot access e.g. its slackware-current release: "(ERROR) [--mirror] The host 'bear.alienbase.nl' is unknown or unreachable", whereas with e.g. Firefox I can access that release without problems.


Edit Apr 6, 2016: I replaced the above phrase about compat32pkg -- it originally read "but compat32pkg seems to require ftp and bear does not provide that".

I suggest that you directly contact Darren to give him this information (see http://slackware.uk/ for contact information) preferably giving examples of what is not updated, as I am not sure that he visits this forum frequently.

Works fine for my MLED repo.

Eh? I never used compat32pkg but it would seem strange that a tool these days requires ftp and can not work with http.
Bear server will never provide ftp, just like its predecessor 'taper' never provided ftp access.

compat32pkg does not require ftp.

In your case, compat32pkg fails because http://bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/slackware is not the url of a slackware tree as opposed to http://bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/sla...lackware-14.1/ or http://bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/sla...kware-current/ for instance.

@phenixia2003: In my Apr 5, 2016 11:04 AM post I spoke of the complete Slackware repositories. Of course I used a specific release -- i.c. slackware-current -- for compat32pkg.
When testing compat32pkg I get for http what to me looks like inconsistent results, whereas for ftp this is not the case. I do not want to debug this right now *) and amended the Apr 5, 2016 11:04 AM post therefore.


*) I added debugging this to my todo list.
