You are doing great to keep Redcore beeing a great distro !

Gentoo announced that it will have binaries packages available now.  Is Siphyphus going going to use them ?
What do you think is going to be the impact for Redcore ???

Personnally I think that if you want to build from a basic system, you should go for Gentoo and then add your favorite desktop.

There may be possibility to use stuff from the git and recycle it to build your own version of Redcore.  But Redcore is a KDE Plasma distro by choice.

I still think that you should go for Gentoo or just use Arch the Arch way.

It's OK.  I'm not criticizing smile   Just looking for ways to improve speed of updating to the level of a binary distro.  Still looking cool

Hi,

I'm updating to new KDE 5.27.  It started loading the 1539 packages at 8h30 am and finished loading at 14h00 ...  Now it is still updating and is has done about half of the update (It's 16h30)  ...  EDIT - ok it just finished ven 24 fév 2023 17:19:59 EST.  So the whole thing lasted 10 hours ***

Everything is done with sisyphus on the command line and there is no packages compiled from source (that I know of).

I might as well be compiling with gentoo and it would be faster ...

I have noticed that only one CPU of the 8 that I gave to this VM is peaking at 70%; the others are mostly inactive.
only 1,6G from the 8G are used and no swap is used.

Is there any way to add some parallelism to the process ????  I could be installing 8 packages at the same time on the 8 processor. 
Is it possible to optimize the update process ???

Regards,
             Bernard

To copy the iso to the USB just use DD, it works (on linux only).

the command is :

#  dd if=/path/your.iso  of=/dev/sdb  bs=1M status=progress ; sync;

where /dev/sdb is the path of your USB key that you can find with "lsblk".


Good luck! & Merry Xmas ;=)

Hi,

The error message just tell you that it cannot read the ISO filesystem wich is a very good indication that you ISO is corrupted.
I would say check the ISO it must be corrupted.  I have an ISO here and it boot without problem but this an ISO I downloaded at the beginning of October.
Yours must be more recent.

See :  How to check ISO

I still have problem to do "sisyphus upgrade" but I did upgrade with emerge the package sys-kernel/linux-firmware wich is a very big package (393MB).

After the "#  emerge -NuDgav --backtrack=100 --with-bdeps=y --rebuilt-binaries sys-kernel/linux-firmware"

I could do a successfull "# sisyphus upgrade"

So I guess that the size of the package (and the speed of the server) makes linux-firmware very difficult to upgrade witth sisyphus.

I hope it can help other with the same problem.

             Bernard


PS:  I notice that sisyphus did not redownloaded packages already downloaded just before. Thanks for the correction.

Since Redcore is based on Gentoo can I use my real machine architecture when compiling myself binaries ???

My laptop is an "AMD Ryzen 7 5700U with Radeon Graphics" and should use march=zenver2 (according to Gentoo wiki on Ryzen).

Can it be changed on Redcore without impacting anything else ??

Should I stick to default ?


I'm still new to Redcore!

Thanks,   

I'have been updating my Redcore VM with emerge and it works without any problems.  sisyphus is still unreliable for me when upgrading more that 5  to 10 packages. 

If I understood well the emerge statement, the "-g" is for "getbinpkgonly" and tells emerge to get binaries packages first and "--rebuilt-binaries" is telling emerge to use any binaries that more recent than the one installed.

It should be the equivalent call that sisyphus would do normally to upgrade the whole world.

Thanks for the solution and good luck with sisyphus.

            Bernard

Read next post  Sisyphus timeout   and you'll find a temporary fix with emerge.

I think the infrastructure is very, very slow and that is a source of problem.
Improvement are needed for sisyphus to avoid the timeout and redownload of everything.
Parallel downloads would help too.

I guess it would be less problematic with a native Gentoo but it takes so long to compile and update that I wanted to consider a mostly binary distribution based on gentoo.  Bad, but good news all this can be eventually improved .... so we get a better experience with a really nice distro.

I have been trying to upgrade for many hours and I'm not able to go thru this update at all.  And I get to re-download everythings until the download breaks again.
I tried also with sisyphus-gui but it abend during the upgrade.  It just vanished without a word. I guess it because of the timeout with the cli.

Connection from my side looks absolutely normal and provider test speed does give normal numbers.  Are you having problem with the redcore linux infrastructure ???  I have tried every sisyphus mirror without success it ALWAYS fail to upgrade.

Please let me know if everything is ok on your side.

I have a big update to do and sisyphus is very slow to download everything.  But the problem is that is at some point it get a connection timeout and I have to retry the upgrade.  But everytime I retry, it restart EVERY download that it had already done ???  Is that possible that it keeps the package already downloaded and just continue what wasn't done before ?   I dont know how I can get thru this big upgrade (188 binary packages) ...

Here is the error message from sisyphus :

Is there any way to avoid the timeout ???   And can we download binaries in parallel ?

I'm new to Redcore so be kind please  smile
