Impossible getting abs tree (SOLVED)

kyaneos · 2007-03-08 17:46:00

I am new on arch. This is the first time i use ABS. I have installed cvsup. When i type abs, it seems to be ok, but when it arrives at base/coreutils/coreutils-i18n.patch, it stops. But i am not prompted then. I think this is not a big file and i do not know how to do.

[root@nabucodonosor /]# abs

Do you have a slow internet connection? That patch is 102KB big.

kyaneos · 2007-03-08 17:51:39

Not, i believe 2Mb ADSL. Thanks

That patch downloads fine with abs here. Run abs and just wait. Maybe the cvs server is slow for you. While abs is running, you could check if the size of the file increase with:
ls -l /var/abs/base/coreutils/coreutils-i18n.patch
That way, you'll know if it's still downloading.

[root@nabucodonosor ~]# ls -l /mnt/unstable/var/abs/base/coreutils/coreutils-i18n.patch
ls: cannot access /mnt/unstable/var/abs/base/coreutils/coreutils-i18n.patch: No such file or directory
[root@nabucodonosor ~]#

I think it is not downloaded. SOrry for my english

I think it could be a problem in kernel configuration. I use the default kernel26 arch image...

Is your partition full?

You could also download the file from the webcvs:
http://cvs.archlinux.org/cgi-bin/viewcv … ch?rev=1.4
and put it in the abs tree manually. Run abs and see if it will continue with the other files or if it will stop again.

Could you post what was the cause of the problem and how you solved it? It will help other users who have the same problem. And I am curious on how you solved it.
