BLAGHEAD

Just a quick note on missing packages:

libvncserver

lzo-minilzo

libcaptury

lzo-minilzo

Otherwise, all is working well on BLAGHEAD.

I’m having problems to update and install packages. Apparently, the directories in
www .blagblagblag .org/blaghead/i386 were renamed from Packages.xxx to RPMS.xxx and Yum (I don’t use Apt, coming from Fedora etc.) still looks in Packages.xxx, hence giving me a 404.
Why were the directories renamed and how come this doesn’t seem to affect other people? Above all, of course, what can I do?

I had actually already tried an apt update, to no avail.
My blaghead.repo does look like yours above (with i386).
A yum update always stops with a list of missing dependencies, which I assumed is because it doesn’t find those packages where it’s looking for them (Packages.xxx):

--fix-missing?

Ah, you may have to do a `yum clean all` to purge the old stuff.

Yes, after a yum clean all, I can yum install stuff again, thanks. The update still exits with above unresolved dependencies though. Apt-get upgrade, by the way, gives me other unresolved dependencies than Yum:

What does `yum install metacity` give you? It seems you are missing that somehow.

It *does* affect other people, but differently, depending upon what they've installed. The BLAGHEAD repo is always in flux.

One category of problems you are seeing is because you have some packages from atrpms. That repo has been removed from BLAGHEAD because of the chaos it caused (e.g. see libraw, lib1394, etc) as it doesnt really mix with the other repos at all. So if you see a package from atrpms, remove it.

Another issue can come up if packages get added upstream, but don't hit blaghead. If you see instances of this, just send me the package names and I'll add them (assuming they are free licenses).

Thanks for the tip about Atrpms Jebba, removing those packages did solve some of the dependency problems.
One package that is obviously missing on the blaghead repo is pygobject2-codegen. It’s there on the Fedora development repo.

By the way, I see there is a Blaghead mirror at colostore.blagblagblag.org, but it’s not being synched anymore. That’s a pity because it’s twenty times faster for me than www. What is gonna happen to it?
