 |
|
I am trying to emerge different packages today. The problem is ftp.dale.ro is not responding. So the problem is , how can I change this? Is there a mirror list that will not use this server? Do I just add new ftp servers in make.conf? How many times will it try this server before it skips it and tries a new one?

| Code: | emerge mirrorselect
mirrorselect -a -s3 |
try that 
you can always just download the file yourself into /usr/portage/distfiles. its often worth googling for the filename its trying to get, or searching filemirrors.com. if its the wrong file, portage will tell you and stop the install.

I have tried changing the list of servers under GENTOO_MIRRORS in my make.conf file a bunch of times now. But it seems that it still tries the dale.ro server.

unfortunantly if I try to emerge mirrorselect it also looks to dale.ro. I had tried that earlier hehe. So if I just copy the mirrorselect file into distfiles it will let me install it then with an emerge?

I will give it a shot with an .ebuild I found of it.
Thanks

Looks like that worked. I put in mirrorselect-version.ebuild that I found and then just did a
emerge mirrorselect and it works now.
Thanks
