William, I believe that you problem is that you are not downloading from the mirror locations that are supplied by T2 as I had the same problem a while back when I was trying to build 7.0-rc2 (I am also using trunk now). This is due to some packages either changing the location of the source, or archiving the source as it is fairly old now.
I edited my Mirror-Cache file in the download folder to use the T2-project mirror and that solved it for me some time ago. You can get a full list of mirrors by using this URL http://t2-project.org/cgi-bin/t2-mirrors.cgi?7.0-rc2 You can change the version after the ? for example for trunk use ?8.0 Regards Adam -----Original Message----- From: William Tracy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 23 October 2008 20:34 To: T2 developers mailing list Subject: [t2] T2 download page Hello, The T2 download page (http://t2-project.org/download/) was frustrating to me. If you want to build from source, it provides instructions for downloading SVN Trunk, or for getting a tarball of a stable release. This would imply to me that the tarballs are the preferred source for creating a build of the stable version. However, none of the supplied tarballs (including the most recent 7.0-rc2 version) build successfully any more (the download stage of the build process fails). It was only after some frustration that I realized that I probably should have been pulling the stable version from an SVN branch, as is explained in the Quick Build guide. Before I actually reached that point, I gave up on the stable version and have actually been playing with the version from SVN trunk instead. So, my humble suggestion is that either the download page be updated to recommend pulling the stable version from SVN, or that it be removed entirely in favor of pointing new users directly to the Quick Build guide. It's not rocket science, and I did figure it out on my own, but I wasted several days on broken builds first, which is not a fun first-time user experience. >_< Thanks for reading. From what I've seen so far, this looks like an awesome project. :-) -- William Tracy [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Vice President, Cal Poly Linux Users' Group http://www.cplug.org ----------------------------------------------------------- If you wish to unsubscribe from this mailing, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of: unsubscribe t2
