Bug 2773 – scripts/bootstrap.sh missing from some mirrors (brainpeddlers)?

• Product: Portage Development
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Jean Jordaan 2002-05-16 06:38:50 UTC]

I'm trying to get a new gentoo box up. I'm using the 16Mb boot CD. 
Everything works fine until 
after I've done 'emerge rsync'. Emerge
warns me that make.profile is missing, but that a 
'emerge sync' should
fix this. After the sync completes, however, make.profile is still 

missing, and 'scripts/bootstrap.sh' doesn't exist either. I've been
following the 
install doc step by step. Any idea what's going wrong?

It was brainpeddlers, in Sweden, IIRC. I don't remember the whole URL.

I'm the admin of that server (and it's in norway, not sweden ;), and I just
removed the bootstrap.sh on my workstation and did "emerge rsync"... the file
was received from the rsync-server, and everything seems to be in order.

on my workstation:
# ls -l bootstrap.sh
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root         2803 Apr 25 08:11 bootstrap.sh

Jean, is this still an issue?

My experience was that a rsync completed apparently OK, and that bootstrap.sh (and others, at 
least make.profile) was subsequently missing. I think the problem is more likely to be with the 
rsync connection than with the mirror. It's happened to me several times that rsyncs have failed 
(normally with a message such as "Connection closed") so that I had to restart the sync.

I 
guess I'm just reporting the effects that interrupted or otherwise bad rsyncs have on the 
installation process ..
