Hi, all
mic2 0.24.5 is available in http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/tools/repos/, this
release used a new package manager 'zypp' but yum is still available for
transition. The last mic2 version you saw in tools repo is 0.22.13, but
we have had many transitional versions, 0.23.0, 0.24.0, 0.24.1, 0.24.2
, 0.24.3, 0.24.4, 0.24.5 for supporting zypp, from 0.23.0, we had basic
zypp support, so if you're using 0.23.0 and later versions, you must
have a file /etc/sysconfig/proxy on your system if you need to use proxy
to access internet, the sample file for it is at the end, just for reference,
you need to replace proxy link with your real proxy. Moreover, proxy
environment variables are still necessary for mic2, the reason is zypp
used /etc/sysconfig/proxy to get proxy info, but other components in mic2
are still use urlgrabber to get packages and repo metadata.
Here are detailed steps to make it work normally for you:
#1. Touch/Change /etc/sysconfig/proxy on your system
If you don't need proxy to access internet, you can ignore this step.
#2. Remove the old bootstrap
mic2 provided a command mic-rm-chroot-dir, it can help you remove your bootstap
very safely.
$ sudo mic-rm-chroot-dir <your-bootstrap-dir>
The default bootstrap dir is /var/cache/meego-bootstrap
#3. Ensure you have configured proxy in /etc/mic2/mic2.conf or environment
variables.
Generally, you can get proxy environment variables in terminal if you have
configured system proxy in your system UI, but you also need to add
Defaults env_keep += " no_proxy http_proxy https_proxy"
to /etc/sudoers in order that proxy environment variables can be delivered to
sudo command.
Or you can set proxy in /etc/mic2/mic2.conf, in section [main], add the below
two
lines:
proxy=http://proxy.yourcompany.com:8888/
no_proxy=localhost,127.0.0.0/8,.yourcompany.com
you need to change proxy.yourcompany.com:8888 and .yourcompany.com according to
your network.
#4. Set use_comps to 0 in /etc/mic2/mic2.conf
This mic2 will use patterns by default, but in the old mic2.conf, it was set to
1, that means it will use comps by default, so you need to edit your
/etc/mic2/mic2.conf manually and ensure use_comps is 0.
This official public release used zypp as a new package manager for the first
time, so if you find any issue, please file a bug on MeeGo bugzilla without
hesitation, you also can fall back to the old package manager using --pkgmgr=yum
option to work around zypp-specific issues.
