Thanks Tobias! At #openmoko tried to figure out what's wrong. Someone pointed out that ftp uses ascii mode by default - I suppose you're uploading at least the Packages -ascii file. How about packages.gz. Man ftp says that ascii upload of binary files might corrupt it -> this might be the problem - using binary format shouldn't corrupt the .gz Another find was that 22 packages out of 93 were other than Debian Binary when checked with file *ipk. The list file types listed below: DEBIAN BINARY – CORRECT!!! neon_0.9.8-r1_all.ipk openmoocow_0.3_armv4t.ipk nethack_3.4.3-10.1-0.4_armv4t.ipk openmiaocat_0.2.2_armv4t.ipk orrery_2.4_arm_2008.8.ipk pyring_1.1.6-r1_armv4t.ipk python-pyalsaaudio_0.3-ml0_armv4t.ipk perpendicular_0.1_armv4t.ipk pong_0.1_armv4t.ipk liquidwar_5.6.4-2_armv4t.ipk moko-eightball_0.20080721_om-gta02.ipk mokogeocaching_0.2_all.ipk meooem_0.1_armv4t.ipk minimo_0.02+cvs20070626-r1_armv4t.ipk mokomaze_0.2.2-1_armv4t.ipk mokox48_1.0_arm_2008.8.ipk mutagen_svn-4350-2_armv4t.ipk mokopod_0.1.5_armv4t.ipk mokosync_0.1_arm.ipk tangogps_0.9.6-r0_armv4t.ipk wicd_1.5.6_armv4t.ipk wlan_0.3_arm.ipk tor-0.2.0.34_0.1_armv4t.ipk usbmode-button_0.3_armv4t.ipk xmahjongg-3.7_0.2_armv4t.ipk zinnia-tomoe-ja_0.6.0-20080911_armv4t.ipk zinnia-tomoe-zh_0.6.0-20080911_armv4t.ipk zedlock_0.1_armv4t.ipk zinnia_0.02_armv4t.ipk pytomboy_0.1_armv4t.ipk remoko-server_0.2.1_svnr119-r0_armv4t.ipk rotate_0.0.2_armv4t.ipk qwo_0.4_armv4t.ipk remoko_0.3.2_armv4t.ipk rotator_0.1_all.ipk sms-sentry_1.0-r0_armv4t.ipk swedish-illume_0.1_armv4t.ipk satan_0.4_armv4t.ipk scummvm_0.12.0_armv4t.ipk deforaos-browser_0.1.0_armv4t.ipk epiano_0.3.1-r1_armv4t.ipk ethtool_6_armv4t.ipk deforaos-editor_0.1.0_armv4t.ipk enscribi_0.1_armv4t.ipk euphony_0.1.3-r0_armv4t.ipk ffalarms_0.2-r0_all.ipk fido_0.2.2-r0_armv4t.ipk evopedia_0.1_any.ipk fbreader_0.8.2a-r7+elleopatches_om-gta02.ipk 0_pythm_0.5.5-dmr_armv4t.ipk 1_wireshark_1.0.99+svnr26030_armv4t.ipk acceleroids_0.1.0-0_armv4t.ipk 0_tshark_1.0.99+svnr26030_armv4t.ipk 0_wireshark-common_1.0.99+svnr26030_armv4t.ipk bt-gps_1.0-r0_armv4t.ipk cellhunter_0.4.2_armv4t.ipk agps_0.1_armv4t.ipk danish-illume-0.0.1.ipk batalarm_0.2_all.ipk illume-default-alt_0.1_arm.ipk guitartune_0.31_arm.ipk gtick_0.1_armv4t.ipk fourier_1.1_arm.ipk leafpad_0.8.15-r1_armv4t.ipk libsystem_0.1.0_armv4t.ipk gwaterpas_0.2_armv4t.ipk ledclock_0.6_all.ipk flashlight_0.1_armv4t.ipk gridpad_2.0-r0.1_armv4t.ipk gridpad_1.432-r0.1_armv4t.ipk libboost-signals1.33.1_1.33.1-r3_armv4t.ipk DATA gpssight_0.8.4_freerunner.armv4t.ipk EMPTY sortdesk_1.2_armv4t.ipk jdd_0.1_all.ipk usbmode_0.1_armv4t.ipk accel-rotate_0.41_armv4t.ipk 0_multitap-pad_0.1_armv4t.ipk omview_r32_armv4t.ipk deforaos-player_0.1.0_armv4t.ipk illume-keyboards-ru_0.2_om-gta02.ipk GZIP yphonekitd_0.4.3_any.ipk zomg_0.0.6-r2_armv4t.ipk mbac_0.3_all.ipk ylock_0.2_all.ipk mofi_0.02_armv4t.ipk illume-keyboards-norwegian-no_0.1_all.ipk efplayer_0.3_arm.ipk playstankontakarta_0.4_any.ipk osmupdater_0.4_any.ipk voicenote_0.3_arm.ipk mokocard_0.1_all.ipk mokoconv_0.1_all.ipk shortom_0.2_all.ipk So things seem to fail because: - Empty file is an empty file, not much to discuss about that. Only need to find out the reason for that: did the authors really upload an empty package or did the upload fail but an empty file was created? - ar isn't able to extract gzip files so all files recognized as gzip will not get listed properly in the Packages file. Again the reason for the wrong file type should be found: did the packages package it wrong or did the type/mime/something get corrupted along the way, during the upload or on the server? So if YOU reader have packaged some of the packages not recognized as debian binary please make sure that the package you upload is recognized as debian binary with the command 'file packagename.ipk' and then upload it again.. Now we only need to find out a way to contact all packagers... r -- | risto h. kurppa | risto at kurppa dot fi | http://risto.kurppa.fi _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
