As an alternate you can try the new fancy repositories which are built with Concourse. They use a new redirector thinggy I wrote in Rust to serve packages / repos from a remote s3 bucket:
Can we somehow make this more user friendly? Like, show a page explaining how to add the repo or something there? (well, kind of not really important if we switch to the concourse-based ones someday)
@kallisti5: Hello! and thanks for the info about the new repos. I tried pointing to the “Test” url that you provided, and yes, I get the following updates:
The following changes will be made:
in system:
upgrade package haiku-r1~beta1_hrev53552-1 to r1~beta1_hrev53581-1 from repository Haiku
upgrade package haiku_x86-r1~beta1_hrev53552-1 to r1~beta1_hrev53581-1 from repository Haiku
upgrade package webpositive_x86-r1~beta1_hrev53552-1 to r1~beta1_hrev53581-1 from repository Haiku
upgrade package makefile_engine-r1~beta1_hrev53552-1 to r1~beta1_hrev53581-1 from repository Haiku
upgrade package haiku_loader-r1~beta1_hrev53552-1 to r1~beta1_hrev53581-1 from repository Haiku
upgrade package haiku_devel-r1~beta1_hrev53552-1 to r1~beta1_hrev53581-1 from repository Haiku
upgrade package haiku_x86_devel-r1~beta1_hrev53552-1 to r1~beta1_hrev53581-1 from repository Haiku
However, if I get back to the original repo url, I don’t get any updates from it.
ah yeah. full-sync is required sometimes (generally when a bunch of dependencies change all at once) We need to start collecting information on what exactly goes wrong when systems enter this situation.
Beta 2 will be released when it’s ready. We have a new release of WebKit to push out (which was delayed because I had no time and I’m the only person working on it, and because of problems with the new memory allocator, which I removed for now), and we have some polishing to do on HaikuDepot as well.
