Any reason RPMFusion repo for F14 is empty

simpfeld · #1 8th November 2010, 05:55 PM

I opened a bug report on this in the RPMFusion bugzilla and other people have asked on the mailing list over there, without an answer.

Anyone here know why the Fedora 14 repos are empty?

See:
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/...thing/i386/os/

Both i386 and x86_64 are empty in both the free and nonfree trees. Though strangely the updates trees for F14 are populated.

Has the structure changed or am I missing something?

The updates directories are populated:

http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/...tes/14/x86_64/
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfr...tes/14/x86_64/
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/...dates/14/i386/
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfr...dates/14/i386/

There is no 'base' software or mirror for the Fedora project at rpmfusion, so there's no reason for the release directory structure to contain packages.

OK, so why was this directory fully populated for previous releases ? F12, F13.

And this "base" repo is pointed to in /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmfusion-free.repo as from rpmfusion-free-release-14-0.4.noarch?

Thanks

The old structure didn't make sense.

I, too, don't understand this news yet. But I'm trying. A quick sampling of the version numbers in the RPM Fusion updates repo are for an update kernel. So if not in the usual place, then where are the RPM Fusion packages for the Fedora 14 release kernel?

P.S.: Okay, more looking around does reveal some release kernel version numbers in the updates repo.

P.P.S.: But the Broadcom and ndiswrapper stuff isn't in the updates repo.

P.P.S.: Yes, Broadcom is there. Nevermind. And nvidia, too. But I'm still looking for ndiswrapper.

Gone. Just update your system to the latest kernel, then get the nVidia drivers et al for it. That's all what yum is about - keeping you system up to date with all the latest bugs :-)

WWell,

Well, not gone. Moved. As I said, I do see packages for the F14 release kernel in the updates repo. It doesn't really matter where they are if everybody knows about it. I just didn't. Sorry.

So will the rpmfusion-free.repo file go from future releases, and why was it issued in the first place for F14?

Do you have any links to the discussion of what changes were made to the structure of the repo?

I ask as I'm setting up a local mirror of this repo and was just trying to figure out what to setup.

Thanks

If you mirror an empty release directory, it won't hurt anything or take any time; you had to mirror updates anyway. If they populate the release directory at some point, you will mirror the old files. I'm not sure what value that will have except for people who never apply updates to their system(s).

I thought the structure had changed?

The base repos seem fully populated now e.g
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/...ing/x86_64/os/

No one said it changed, I said it doesn't make much sense to have a release structure for rpmfusion.

Now that there's a static directory of soon to be outdated software, what value does it add? They could just symlink the release and updates directories. Actually, I just took a quick look at the contents and it looks like that's what they did.
