Bug 134057 – portage-latest.md5sum looks for the wrong snapshot

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Infrastructure

[Description nm (RETIRED) 2006-05-22 13:44:16 UTC]

While preparing to add an snapshot integrity check section to the handbook, I downloaded the files "portage-latest.tar.bz2" and "portage-latest.tar.bz2.md5sum" from OSUOSL. However, the md5sum didn't work:

$ md5sum -c portage-latest.tar.bz2.md5sum
md5sum: portage-20060521.tar.bz2: No such file or directory
portage-20060521.tar.bz2: FAILED open or read
md5sum: WARNING: 1 of 1 listed file could not be read

Looks like it's trying to find the snapshot from yesterday (5-21) instead of whatever today's is/will be (5-22).

When -latest was created, 0521 *was* the current.

 portage-20060521.tar.bz2                           22-May-2006 01:58   27M  
 portage-latest.tar.bz2                             22-May-2006 01:58   27M

You should first `mv portage-latest.tar.bz2 portage-20060521.tar.bz2` if you want that command to work correctly.  The 20060522 snapshot hasn't been made yet.

closing because everthing is normal...

I'm going to make special portage-latest.tar.bz2.md5sum files on the server side in order to make it easy on users.

Created attachment 87300 [details, diff]
make `md5sum -c portage-latest.tar.bz2.md5sum` work as expected

I've applied this patch, so `md5sum -c portage-latest.tar.bz2.md5sum` will work from now on.

It's fixed.
