Downloads broken

For about a week the whole WinRPM thing seems broken. I'm on Julia 0.3.11, but had the same problem on 0.3.10. Things worked well before. There error I get is this:

Do others have the same problem? Any idea what could be done about this? Maybe some mirror URL that I could add to sources.list? Any help would be appreciated.

@tkelman, sorry to bug you with this, but you seem the all-things-windows-related guru ;)

[tkelman]

I've been noticing the same thing and been meaning to figure out what to do about it. It hasn't been causing any problems on the buildbots, or appveyor for packages as far as I can tell, so it may be location-dependent. Try adding

ftp://anorien.csc.warwick.ac.uk/download.opensuse.org/repositories/windows:/mingw:/win32/openSUSE_13.1/
ftp://anorien.csc.warwick.ac.uk/download.opensuse.org/repositories/windows:/mingw:/win64/openSUSE_13.1/

to your sources.list and see if that works any better.

[tkelman]

Alternately, instead of modifying your sources.list or changing WinRPM.sources, you could try Pkg.checkout("WinRPM", "tk/cache") (likely would need to fetch first). Let me know if that works.

[davidanthoff]

This is what I get for the "tk/cache" branch:

I'll try the other option next.

[davidanthoff]

Replacing all entries in sources.list with only the two warwick urls, then manually deleting the whole cache in the WinRPM package directory worked. Thanks!

[tkelman]

Any chance you could try out the tk/cache branch again? You can temporarily move Pkg.dir("WinRPM","deps","usr") and Pkg.dir("WinRPM","installed.list") out of the way and restore them after testing. The warwick url seemed a bit slow for me and I'm not sure if it'll be reliable enough for everyone to make it the default. We did some tweaking on the cache server a couple days ago and I think it should be working now.

[davidanthoff]

Yes, now it worked. I tried it on master, after you had merged your tk/cache branch. Thanks!

[tkelman]

Great, thanks for testing. Sorry I got impatient and went ahead with it after local testing was working quite well.
