I have been trying to make apt-get to download files off Freenet for a while now. The main issue is a seeming inability to retreive the 'Packages' file with a modified apt-get line to work with FProxy or even manualy through freenet_insert. It appears to insert ok, it just won't retreive. I'm not anywhere near the node I tested on right now, so I'm sorry I can't send an error log.
Could somebody with Debian try this: 1) Download your architecture's 'Packages' file and the 'devel/hello-*.deb' package. 2) Insert to KSK@/debian-test/dists/stable/main/<arch>/Packages and KSK@/debian-test/dists/stable/main/<arch>/devel/hello-* Replacing <arch> with your architecture and hello-* with the full name of the 'Hello, world!' package. Please use htl=1 for testing purpases. Try requesting that file to make sure it works. 3) Backup /etc/apt/sources.list, then add this line: deb http://localhost:8081/debian-test stable main Comment out the other sources, then run 'apt-get update'. It should sit for a while durring the request, then store the 'Packages' file. 4) Now run 'apt-get install hello' and it should download the 'hello' package inserted earlier. If someone can get this to work I can finish my article and send it to the nice people at the Linux Journal. Then I will have massive braging rights at Linux user group meetings. <insert evil laugh here> (Note to self: Next time, get the system working BEFORE you promise to do the article . . . ) Timm Murray ----------- Great spirits have allways encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds --Albert Einstein _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://www.uprizer.com/mailman/listinfo/devl
