Because http-replicator 3.0-r4 seems to have no ipv6 (listen!) Support, i update to 4.0_alpha2-r4. Since the configuration File has a --ipv6 flag. Starting the script with the same Configuration as 3.0, just with the additional Line at the end: DAEMON_OPTS="$DAEMON_OPTS --ipv6" Points out that the Service refuse to start. /etc/init.d/http-replicator start * Caching service dependencies ... [ ok ] * Starting HTTP Replicator ... Error: invalid option '/mnt/sdb3/http-replicator/' * start-stop-daemon: failed to start `/usr/bin/http-replicator' * Failed to start HTTP Replicator [ !! ] * ERROR: http-replicator failed to start Don't find any further information in the Log files. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Update http-replicator from 3.0-r4 to 4.0_alpha2-r4 2. Mix the old configuration File with the additional lines from the new configuration. 3. Try to start the service. Actual Results: Misinterpret the changed cache directory as invalid option. Expected Results: http-replicator service should just start with the configured cache directory and listen on tcp6 too.
Please upload `emerge --info` output and full config file. However since this package don't have a maintainer, this bug is unlikely to be fixed. If you are interested in this package consider providing a patch and becoming a proxied maintainer: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Proxy_Maintainers

The alpha2 Code of the http-replicator is from 2008. I am a newbie, but will investigate some time to check this out later this week. After a first check it looks like that the alpha script is a new version which have not much common with 3.0. In the Top of the configuration File the "General_Opts" are used by repcacheman and the "Daemon_Opts" used by http-replicator. The ebuild for the alpha use the same Version of http-replicator-3.0-repcacheman-0.44-r2 as before, i'll review later to find whats wrong. Could be that its not implemented to mix ipv6 and ipv4 since the "--ipv6" or "-6" change the "FAMILY = socket.AF_UNSPEC" itself to another value. For ipv4, the default the FAMILY is set to "socket.AF_INET".
On a first look, the 4.0alpha http-replicator work for ipv4 but not for ipv6. The alpha itself is just a quick rewrite with less Lines of Code, so there are many functions that are not implemented. Like "-d or --dir" option, is now the -r or --root option and "--log DIR" option, is now used as "--daemon LOG". Root-Path its because the http-replicator now create a directory to separate the Requested URLs so "GET http://distfiles.gentoo.org/distfiles/totem-3.16.4.tar.xz" will be: ROOT_DIR/distfiles.gentoo.org:80/distfiles/totem-3.16.4.tar.xz In Alpha4 the --user option is missed too. I thought that http-replicator is running as user portage instead of user root, have to check if this is true for the 3.0 Version. Not sure why the alpha4 did not work in the first place, with --root in the configuration file instead of --dir, and throw the Error listed in the first post, when i launch it through init.d. Seems like there is a problem with parsing the arguments, because it works from the command line. ======================== elif _arg in ( '-r', '--root' ): try: ROOT = os.path.realpath( _args.next() ) + os.sep assert os.path.isdir( ROOT ) except StopIteration: sys.exit( 'Error: %s requires a directory argument' % _arg ) except: sys.exit( 'Error: invalid cache directory %s' % ROOT ) ========================= The --ipv6 option did not work too. Netstat just list the ipv4. # netstat -tuplen | grep 8080 tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:8080 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 0 12997448 16943/python2.7 Not sure if it is easy to adapt the 3.0 code or to add the missing features and behavior to the alpha. At my next free time i got bored i take the challenge. About the maintainer... maybe later if i rewrite this little peace of code to my satisfaction and for all critical eyes. When its done (long long time in the future) i have to ask Gertjan van Zwieten, to add the code to his repository. Seems like he lost his pleasure, eight years ago to the project after ".. the serious work got lost on a crashed disk.".
could you try with the latest updated revisions?
(In reply to Pacho Ramos from comment #5) > could you try with the latest updated revisions? The 4.0_alpha2-r5 work fine and accept the cache-dir, just the replicator don't create a Socket for IPv6. So there is still a lag of internet protocol 6 support. Seems that the the replicator-script just ignore this flag. Sorry Pacho Ramos, for my late Response.
