[opensuse-buildservice] Apt-get doesn't follow HTTP redirects
Hello everybody, I'm using the Build service to create packages for almost all distribution currently present in the build service. This is my repositories http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/EmmeG/ My user account is EmmeG I also created repositories for Apt-based distributions: Debian and xUbuntu... but I have problem to use them with apt because the main server download.opensuse.org reply with a "302 Found" redirect that apt-get consider an error !! :-( :-( So, if a write in sources.list the following statement: deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/EmmeG/ xUbuntu_7.10/ Then apt-get reply that it's impossible to fetch data because the server reply with the error: "302 Found" :-( :-( I searched on the web ... and I discovered that this problem was reported since 2000 to apt developers... but I think that they don't want to add the "feature" to honour the HTTP redirects in apt-get !! :-( :-( If I inspect manually the HTTP 302 response, and I put directly the hostname that mirror my repositories in this way: deb ftp://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/home:/EmmeG/ xUbuntu_7.10/ all goes fine and I can use my repositories without problems. But because the 302 is a temporary redirection, I cannot tell to my users to use the host above! What is the best solution to this problems ???

Point the users to http://en.opensuse.org/Mirrors_Development_Build and report your problem to apt-developers again. Maybe the now change their mind :-) Ciao -- http://www.dstoecker.eu/ (PGP key available) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

It's the same problem with RPM, see novell bugzilla #278729 Greetings -- Thomas Schmidt (tschmidt [at] suse.de) SUSE Linux Products GmbH :: Research & Development :: Internal Tools "Don't Panic", Douglas Adams (1952 - 11.05.2001) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

with the minor difference that apt is more a replacement for zypper while it would be rpm vs deb. where i think that deb cant handle downloading at all. darix -- openSUSE - SUSE Linux is my linux openSUSE is good for you www.opensuse.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

Are you sure it works with 10.3? download.opensuse.org doesn't do any redirects if the user agent matches that of RPM, so maybe it works for you just because of that...! Peter -- "WARNING: This bug is visible to non-employees. Please be respectful!" SUSE LINUX Products GmbH Research & Development

For the record: we actually match on "rpm/4.4.2". Peter -- "WARNING: This bug is visible to non-employees. Please be respectful!" SUSE LINUX Products GmbH Research & Development

Ciao Not all Mirrors mirrors also the repositories directory... so, is not so useful to direct users to Mirrors_Development_Build :-( But anyway... can I mirror my repositories via rsync ??

What's the exact name of the user agent which apt sends? We could possibly grant an exception in the download redirectory, so it doesn't send redirects for those clients. That makes sense if we are not talking about a huge amounts of requests each day.
But anyway... can I mirror my repositories via rsync ??
yes, you can access rsync.opensuse.org and mirror repositories without problems. See http://en.opensuse.org/Mirror_Infrastructure for available rsync modules. Also, you could solve the issue by pointing your user's apt clients to http://widehat.opensuse.org/repositories/. For the time being it is a complete (and mostly fresh) mirror of download.opensuse.org, and I don't think it is a problem if all those apt clients access it directly. It's not guaranteed to exist forever, and it might not set the caching headers as thoughtfully as download.opensuse.org, because it is only a stupid mirror, but for you it would be a viable option I think.

Now, all user agents matching "APT-HTTP" are no longer redirected. Peter -- "WARNING: This bug is visible to non-employees. Please be respectful!" SUSE LINUX Products GmbH Research & Development
