I do not know what it is mirroring... I cannot find any documentation, and I cannot look into build.meego.com to see what it is trying to fetch, so I don't know if any of these mirrors actually contain the correct files or not. >>> Or maybe asking nicely... >> >> I think you'll find I did ask nicely.

But how does it compare with, say, building an android image? Or building gentoo from stage1 using crosstools? From my point of view the answer is "not favorably." >> I don't have a Core 2 server so I need to rebuild the packages - > > I rent a virtual one for about US$25/mo. Hosted in a data center. I have a perfectly good quad core server, it just doesn't have SSSE3. If it did, I wouldn't need to go to all this trouble in the first place. >> otherwise known as bootstrapping.

The problem is I don't know how to tell OBS to rebuild all the packages without using prebuilt Meego RPMs to do it - all the existing documentation is geared towards someone who wants to build a single package against an already bootstrapped distro. -- Alistair Buxton [email protected] _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
