 Posted: Sat Sep 28, 2024 9:07 pm Post subject: Need help changing portage repo uri |
 |
|
Some years ago, I set portage to use a local package repository. That is no longer valid, but I can't figure out how to change it back to the default.
As can be seen, it is pointing to the hostname "gentoo-portage". This used to be valid, but is no longer valid for this machine:
| Code: | # emerge --sync
!!! Found 2 make.profile dirs: using '/etc/portage/make.profile', ignoring '/etc/make.profile'
>>> Syncing repository 'gentoo' into '/usr/portage'...
>>> Starting rsync with rsync://gentoo-portage/gentoo-portage...
>>> Checking server timestamp ...
rsync: [Receiver] failed to connect to gentoo-portage (45.56.94.193): No route to host (113)
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(139) [Receiver=3.3.0]
>>> Retrying...
!!! Exhausted addresses for gentoo-portage
!!! Found 2 make.profile dirs: using '/etc/portage/make.profile', ignoring '/etc/make.profile'
* IMPORTANT: 3 config files in '/etc' need updating.
* See the CONFIGURATION FILES and CONFIGURATION FILES UPDATE TOOLS
* sections of the emerge man page to learn how to update config files.
* IMPORTANT: 9 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.
* Use eselect news read to view new items.
Action: sync for repo: gentoo, returned code = 1 |
Searching the /etc/ directory for gentoo-portage does not show any current files that point to this host:
| Code: | # grep -r gentoo-portage /etc
/etc/config-archive/etc/make.conf.dist.new:SYNC="rsync://gentoo-portage/gentoo-portage"
/etc/config-archive/etc/make.conf.dist.new:# PORTAGE_BINHOST="rsync://portage/gentoo-portage/packages/All"
/etc/config-archive/etc/rsyncd.conf.dist:#[gentoo-portage]
/etc/config-archive/etc/rsyncd.conf:#[gentoo-portage]
/etc/config-archive/etc/make.conf.1:SYNC="rsync://gentoo-portage/gentoo-portage"
/etc/config-archive/etc/make.conf.1:# PORTAGE_BINHOST="rsync://portage/gentoo-portage/packages/All"
/etc/config-archive/etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf.dist:sync-uri = rsync://gentoo-portage/gentoo-portage
/etc/config-archive/etc/make.conf:SYNC="rsync://192.168.89.8/gentoo-portage"
/etc/config-archive/etc/make.conf:# PORTAGE_BINHOST="rsync://portage/gentoo-portage/packages/All"
/etc/rsyncd.conf:#[gentoo-portage]
/etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf:sync-uri = rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage
/etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.noconf:sync-uri = rsync://gentoo-portage/gentoo-portage
/etc/make.conf:# SYNC="rsync://gentoo-portage/gentoo-portage"
/etc/make.conf:# SYNC="rsync://rsync.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage"
/etc/make.conf:# PORTAGE_BINHOST="rsync://portage/gentoo-portage/packages/All" |

You should fix this by removing /etc/make.profile. That is a very old name. | mgnut57 wrote: | | Code: | >>> Starting rsync with rsync://gentoo-portage/gentoo-portage...

This looks strange. Why does that bare name resolve to a public IP address, which then fails to route properly? | mgnut57 wrote: | | Code: | | * IMPORTANT: 3 config files in '/etc' need updating. |

You should read your news. It is usually important. | mgnut57 wrote: | Searching the /etc/ directory for gentoo-portage does not show any current files that point to this host: | Code: | # grep -r gentoo-portage /etc

Your code output disagrees with your comment. You found a place that does configure that host. Per man portage, all non-ignored files in /etc/portage/repos.conf/ are concatenated together. The name /etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.noconf is not an ignored file. | mgnut57 wrote: | | Code: | /etc/make.conf:# SYNC="rsync://gentoo-portage/gentoo-portage"

This is another very old name. It should be relocated to /etc/portage, or removed outright if you already have /etc/portage/make.conf.
Generally, this system looks to be very behind on maintenance. |

The origin of this system is quite old. It originated around 2008/2009.

What is happening is that the resolv.conf has a domain search that points to my personal domain. Previously I used a local nameserver that would resolve this to a local portage server, but then I changed my default nameserver to 1.1.1., which then made it look up the same domain on the DNS server for my external domain. The external domain has a wildcard and the lookup of the wildcard resolves to 45.56.94.193.

Will do. It is usually files that I discard the update.

I can read news on other systems also.

I had wrongly assumed that the files needed to be named "*.conf" to be included.

No so much as it appears. But, yes, I should fix these issues.
Thank you very much for your help and advice. I'll fix the entry in the "noconf" file and other issues. |
