Rsync server mirror.opteamax.de, or 194.62.23.99 (that is inside the rsync.europe.gentoo.org DNS rotation) seems to be out of date. Even if the timestamp.chk file is updated... # cat '/usr/portage/metadata/timestamp.chk' Mon, 28 Nov 2011 16:45:01 +0000 ... the ebuild tree is old! I.e. see sys-apps/portage after updating from that mirror: # ls -l /usr/portage/sys-apps/portage totale 216 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 64759 12 nov 17.31 ChangeLog drwxr-xr-x 2 portage portage 4096 15 nov 21.01 files -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5102 12 nov 17.31 Manifest -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 859 12 nov 17.31 metadata.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11500 12 nov 17.31 portage-2.1.10.11.ebuild -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11480 12 nov 17.31 portage-2.1.10.32.ebuild -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11998 12 nov 17.31 portage-2.1.10.34.ebuild -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9923 12 nov 17.31 portage-2.1.6.13.ebuild -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8574 12 nov 17.31 portage-2.1.6.7.ebuild -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10122 12 nov 17.31 portage-2.1.9.42.ebuild -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12569 12 nov 17.31 portage-2.2.0_alpha51.ebuild -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12547 12 nov 17.31 portage-2.2.0_alpha72.ebuild -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12669 12 nov 17.31 portage-2.2.0_alpha74.ebuild -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11849 12 nov 17.31 portage-9999.ebuild Several updates are missing. Of course if I sync again and I pick another server from the rsync.europe.gentoo.org rotation, everything is fine.
I forgot to add that, even if I am reporting the issue today because I noticed about that right now, I encountered the same problem with the same server a couple of days ago, but at that time I thought that the issue was on my side.
Jens, can you look at this?
Hi, sorry for delay. It seems that masterportage.gentoo.org does not work correctly on V6. I can Ping and trace the node, but rsync runs into timeout. I changed my side to use V4 for now, please check your end and keep me informed as soon as V6-Rsync is back to normal. BR Jens
No known problems with IPv6, my personal host uses v6 every 30 mins.
Hi, server is about to be back to normal operation. If you might have noticed machine was unavailable for couple of days due to a broken storage-controler. Controller has just been changed, Portage is already back to normal, distfile-sync is running. IPv6 seems to work again, unfortunately sync-speed is not really high (~10mbit :( ) BR Jens
