There seem to be a problem with the DOCS on the server. Upgrading is not
possible if the docs are included as they just will not download at all
or take many hours if they do download.
I reported this before but it seems to be still ongoing issue.
I'm a bit puzzled by the issue you've mentioned regarding the DOCS on the
server. I thought it might be connected to the online documentation on the web
server, but it seems that part is working fine for the sections I checked.
Could you provide more details about the problem? Is it related to a Debian
documentation package? If you have specific steps or commands to recreate the
error, please share them.
If someone else on this list can already reproduce this issue, please step
forward :)
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. We're here to help, so the more
information you can give us, the better. With more details, I'm sure someone
with expertise will come forward to address the issue.
Many thanks!
Steffen
I don't have the expertise, but I can report results.
Because I have no interest in languages I don't speak and there is no
way to build just the English docs. I am locked out of any upgrades as
I'm running buster, I cannot even build linuxcnc on bullseye because
bullseye's python is too new. This has been reported several times on
this list.
I normally, since I'm not a for profit shop, run master from the
buildbot, as a hobbiest I can afford to bleed occasionally, but the
buster in-release file has been removed from the buildbot for armhf,
disabling my access to the buildbot's output for buster master.
So I'm back to running some scripts here that duplicate the buildbot,
including building install-able debs. But something has gone wrong and
the installed debs, which run just fine, now break apt, and the only
solution is to fix-broken, which will remove the debs my pi just spent
40 minutes building and 3 minutes installing.
I can after that, probably install bookworm and then install linuxcnc,
v2.9.0 from the bookworm repo's.
But that is not the point Steffan, because I'm not a for profit user,
I've been playing canary in the coal mine, running master for almost 20
years, reporting unseen bugs as I've encountered them, my contribution
to the stability of linuxcnc. These guy's are good, I've only reported
a failure twice in that time frame. OTOH my test is just to see if it
runs from a shell so I don't catch everything.
So at present, I can't build the docs because my machine does not have
the resources installed to build all the languages that have been added
in the last 2 years. I could probably install them if I had a list of
what's needed. But its also time to install bookworm. A different kettle
of fish entirely.
Lets assume I install bookworm, first on my wintel stuff. But is the
plan to lock up the buildbot now that linuxcnc is officially in debian?
IDK. If that is the case, my canary just died.
And because the buster in-release file has been deleted, synaptic nor
apt will touch the buildbots output for armhf.
I can still do a git pull and build linuxcnc, install and run it, but
that breaks apt, and now tha docs are locked away. So what do I do to
restore my access to the docs?
I should also point out that my 3 wintel busters running on old Dell's
are still getting all 4 master updates from the buildbot as of this
morning, only the armhf build seems to be affected.
Thank you, take care & stay well, Steffan.
