Thierry any ideas ?

@Palm Pre, its a new install or upgrade from mageia 1 ?

Keywords: (none) => Triaged

A new install.

Bug confirmed using clean Mageia 2 alpha 2 install

http://mirrors.mageia.org/api/mageia.2.x86_64.list?reason=upgrade and the like now return nothing

CC: (none) => sysadmin-bugs
Component: RPM Packages => Others
Version: Cauldron => unspecified
Assignee: thierry.vignaud => sysadmin-bugs
Product: Mageia => Infrastructure

ah yes indeed it's work with s/2/cauldron

Sysadmins, please fix before the alpha2

Priority: Normal => High
CC: (none) => nanardon

FYI, it's due to fixing the version in /etc/product.id that violates prior usage.
Back in february, version was altered in mageia-release from 1/2/3/... to Cauldron whereas we never set it to cooker back @mdv

(was hidden under "only obsolete mandriva-release-* to allow clean upgrade" commit message).

This was bogus as this field is used by quite some tools and broke them (was partially hidden due to wiki not being ready).

We should stick to historical behavior (last release pointing to cauldron, prior/released releases pointing to proper stable tree).

as a workaround use:
urpmi.addmedia --distrib --mirrorlist "http://mirrors.mageia.org/api/mageia.cauldron.$ARCH.list'

replacing $ARCH by i586 or x86_64.

# urpmi.addmedia --distrib --mirrorlist 'http://mirrors.mageia.org/api/mageia.cauldron.$x86_64.list'
adds medias
 however

 rsync://distro.ibiblio.org/mageia/distrib/cauldron/x86_64/media/core/release/media_info/20111212-093152-synthesis.hdlist.cz
...retrieving failed: rsync failed: exited with 23                             
problem reading synthesis file of medium "Core Release"

So what is needed is to add Mageia 2 to https://mirrors.mageia.org ?

Do we have documentation about it now?

We need at least http://mirrors.mageia.org/api/mageia.2.i586.list (and x86_64) listing available mirrors (do we have something checking mirrors sync btw or not really?).

CC: (none) => rdalverny

The way we did it back at Mdv was:

when we release a new distro, we:
- switched api.<vendor>.com/20XX.X to stable tree
- added new 20XX+1.X to api.<vendor>.com
- bumped the version in <vendor>-release.rpm and uploaded it in cooker
- open the cooker tree again

Not so many people remembers this but blino is one of them

Ok, so we can do the same.

mirrors list for mageia 2 is now returning the list of cauldron mirrors :
http://mirrors.mageia.org/api/mageia.2.x86_64.list

At the moment no. See bug #2844.

In current version of MGA::Mirrors, the only check done is to try to fetch the URLs for all mirrors, protocols, distributions, architectures, as seen in check_distributions function in :
http://svnweb.mageia.org/soft/mirrors/mga-mirrors/trunk/lib/MGA/Mirrors/DB.pm?revision=1619&view=markup

It would be nice to also check the date inside timestamp file. And even better would be to also check the signature of the hdlists (but first, we have to sign them).

Thanks !

(so we can close ?)

Yes, I think we can close.
