Bug 373195 – app-portage/mirrorselect-2.1.0-r3 uncompatible with emerge-webrsync SYNC variable

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Sergey S. Starikoff 2011-06-27 12:25:36 UTC]

Recommended in Handbook mirrorselect utility generates rather strange and incompatible with at least emerge-webrsync utility SYNC variable.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Accrording to Hadbook recomendations run:
# mirrorselect -i -r -o
Actual Results:  
Something like (depending on mirror you selects):
SYNC="\ \ \ rsync://rsync.ru.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage"

Expected Results:  
SYNC="rsync://rsync.ru.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage"

The issue relates to bug #365033

Currently (on my current system) the SYNC variable format was fixed manually.

# mirrorselect -i -r -o
SYNC="rsync://rsync.ru.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage"

Can't reproduce, works for me.

Actually mirrorselect reproduces prefix from current /etc/make.conf
I.e. in make.conf contains such error, it will be reproduced. If not --- it willn't.

I'm not sure if this reproduction serves a purpose of some kind of purpose. If not, it seems like it would be good to remove it.

[Comment 4 Brian Dolbec (RETIRED) 2012-12-15 23:47:15 UTC]

I've tried all permutations of this with and without errors in the SYNC variable in make.conf using mirrorselect-2.2.0 which I've just released.

I cannot reproduce this either.

Marking as Resovled/Worksforme  if you have this problem still with mirrorselect-2.2.0, please re-open this bug with additional info so we can reproduce this or get it fixed.

[Comment 5 Brian Dolbec (RETIRED) 2012-12-16 00:39:04 UTC]

Ah Ha! I just reproduced this error in my prefix install with:

mirrorselect -4 -o -D

[Comment 6 Brian Dolbec (RETIRED) 2012-12-16 02:42:24 UTC]

OK, the only I was able to reproduce this was with GENTOO_MIRRORS="\ \ \ http://some.mirror" in make.conf.

I added some code to catch the "\" false url and ignore it which works to correct the new output.  But I really wonder if it should be necessary.  Any false url in GENTOO_MIRRORS or SYNC will cause this type of output error.

It comes down to garbage in, garbage out.

Anyway, I've pushed a fix for this type of inaccessible url which will cause it to ignore it.

 http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/mirrorselect.git;a=commit;h=362ba4585a48273289f382c16947e858ff3818cf

But I don't think it warrants a new release just for this fix.

[Comment 7 Brian Dolbec (RETIRED) 2012-12-16 06:19:41 UTC]

OK, I needed to revise the 2.2.0 ebuild for another problem so this fix is added to mirrorselect-2.2.0-r1 as well.
