------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-02-03 18:34 ------- I'm not sure that gets the result that I was looking for ... until urpmi.update -a && urpmi --auto-select --auto; do sleep 60; done examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.Installation CD 1 (x86) (cdrom1).cz] examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.Installation CD 2 (x86) (cdrom2).cz] retrieving description file of "update"... retrieving source hdlist (or synthesis) of "update"... ftp://anonymous:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/pub/linux/Mandrake/Mandrake-devel/cooker/i586/Mandrake/base/hdlist.cz ...retrieving failed: curl failed: exited with 10 or signal 0 retrieve of source hdlist (or synthesis) failed no hdlist file found for medium "update" examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.main.cz] everything already installed ============== I attempted to simplify it down to this.....(just to see if I could do 1 command in this manner) until urpmi.update -a; do sleep 60; done examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.Installation CD 1 (x86) (cdrom1).cz] examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.Installation CD 2 (x86) (cdrom2).cz] retrieving description file of "update"... retrieving source hdlist (or synthesis) of "update"... ftp://anonymous:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/pub/linux/Mandrake/Mandrake-devel/cooker/i586/Mandrake/base/hdlist.cz ...retrieving failed: curl failed: exited with 10 or signal 0 retrieve of source hdlist (or synthesis) failed no hdlist file found for medium "update" examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.main.cz] Of course I'm showing the failure - there were a few successes. Around the same time an ftp login to the same host gave an "invalid password" error (as opposed to what I would expect as the overload message...) ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] description: I've searched several places and not found this functionality in urpmi (or urpmi.update) It would be VERY nice to have an option to ask urpmi (or urpmi.update) to retry x number of times (perhaps with a 0 being infinite?) to update the urpmi hdlists or download packages. Instead what happens now is.... With urpmi.update if urpmi fails on the first try (it seems) it will give a message that it failed to update the media... with urpmi it suggests updating the urpmi database if it fails to connect to the online sources. This would be a VERY nice enhancement for including urpmi in any sort of script (as well as just day to day use).
