Description Fabrice Boyrie 2012-07-26 14:43:13 CEST

Description of problem:
In my university, we can't access outside rsync server.
By default, Mageia choose automatically the mirror, and often select a rsync mirror.
  
An I see no way to explain urpmi to only select ftp and http url.

Comment 1 Manuel Hiebel 2012-07-26 16:17:36 CEST

You can add a specific mirror and not use mirrorlist. 

Also seems we can play something with --mirrorlist but no easy way yet.

(from treegazer on irc: wget -O- -q http://mirrors.mageia.org/api/ftp | grep -v rsync | grep -v ftp )

Sysadmin is seems that we can't use search for specific protocol, should be easy to implement no ?

Comment 2 Thierry Vignaud 2012-07-26 17:41:39 CEST

Either uninstall rsync would do it or manually pick a mirror instead of using mirrorlist

Comment 3 Fabrice Boyrie 2012-07-26 17:48:51 CEST

Than for the answers. The last one didn't work  for me

 urpme rsync
 LC_ALL=C urpmi --auto-update
...retrieving failed: rsync is missing
...retrieving failed: rsync is missing
...retrieving failed: rsync is missing
...retrieving failed: rsync is missing

I've finished to make it to work with --wget option

I know I can specify a mirror. I'm just suggesting an enhancement.

Comment 4 Thierry Vignaud 2012-07-27 14:00:03 CEST

You need to purge the cache (/var/cache/urpmi/mirrors.cache) after removing rsync so that urpmi picks a non rsync media.
Previous choosen mirror is cached.
