 |
|
Hello everyone,
As of today, I'm receiving an error while trying to synchronize the portage. I've already tried 3 times so far and don't want to have problems of getting banned, so I've stopped synchronizing for now, but what could be causing this issue?

nvaert1986,
The normal cause is --syncs not being atomic. If you sync while the server is updating it can be in an indeterminate state.
It's a feature.
However, a retry usually succeeds as the problem only lasts for the copy time.
Did you always get the same server, that would be unusual unless you fixed it yourself as the advertised rsync servers are rotations, you don't actually use them.
They pass you on to a real rsync server 'in rotation'.
Whatever, if the problem persists, make sure to get another server as servers fail too.

Try another mirror.

Thanks, this solved my issue. There seems to be a broken mirror in the list (in South Africa). I don't know why it selects the mirror in South Africa to sync, but I specified both the sync mirrors and my rsync mirrors to The Netherlands and it resolved the issue for me. They were not specified before. |

Netherlands rulez! I used to use their mirrors too despite being several thousand kilometers away. Now I have a local one.

Interesting,
I have:
| Code: | | sync-uri = rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage |
and since two weeks or so, it always use a mirror in South Africa. Unfortunately it is slow as hell.
Before that (years..), I would only get NL or DE mirrors (always blazing fast)
I only sync once a day so I'm not sure why it is picked up. (How does it work by the way ? It looks random)
Should I manually set a NL or DE mirror in my gentoo.conf ?

I have always done that. Always choosing something fast and reasonably close. DE mirrors do not seem to have good connectivity to everywhere but NL ones sure do. Even though they are at least a couple of thousand of kilometers away from me.

I remember seeing this url at top when sync begins: turnstone.gentoo.org
Is it how the mirror is picked up when using rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage ?
Well, I'll force the usage of a NL mirror (with rsync.nl.gentoo.org) if it continues to try to sync a mirror 10000km away.  |

There were threads in the past but they are now berried deep. I think it was round-robin or something. If you want, try to search for it.

Actually that might not be right. I think it's worth filing a bug as rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage is intended to pick a mirror near you, not a very slow one 10k km away from you.

sdauth,
Don't use a single mirror, you will be bitten in the bum when it fails.
| /etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf: | sync-type = rsync
#sync-uri = rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage
sync-uri = rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage |
points to the European mirror rotation.
There are others for different continents too.

Found it! https://www.gentoo.org/support/rsync-mirrors/

| Something definitely isn't right. This started happening to me too (I'm located in EU). Meanwhile, mirrorselect correctly picks the best mirror (from a neighboring country). |
