[9fans] contrib/install fgb/X11?

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 698 bytes --]

Anyone else having trouble getting equis installed via contrib/install?

I tried to do this this morning, as I was interested in giving
cinap_lenrek's dillo rc bundle a spin, and figured I needed X11 for that,
but it might already be there (it's failing).

X11 didn't succeed in installing, and it seems my /tmp has been affected
somehow.  Now for every retry i'm having to use "ramfs" to create a new /tmp
before starting.  I had to manually cleanup the /dist/replica/X11 file as
well so it didn't think it was already installed.

I've been thinking there might be a way for me to contribute to contrib here
with failure cleanup, once I get a good handle on how it all works.

the contrib tools are based on replica and in my experience that makes
them slow and fragile. You might want to give the 9pm stuff I did a
try. It works,it's far faster, and they're trivial shell scripts that
are easy to understand. Simple example, installing openssh is about 50
times faster -- minutes vs. hours -- using 9pm.

Ah blast 9grid.net went away, I will get the guys to go kick it.

I was going to ask for a link to 9pm.  Is it on 9grid?

I guess I'll search the archives to find out what 9pm is :-).

Ah I've located your bitbucket...
https://bitbucket.org/rminnich/plan9tools/src/tip/9pm/announcement

Now I remember what this is.  9pm was the name of a predecessor to plan9port
too IIRC.

contrib/remove didn't work?

[Stanley Lieber]

For what it's worth, I installed equis via contrib/install about a
week ago and it worked. Slow, but everything installed and I was able
to use it.

My experience is I have never seen contrib be fragile, it just works, and
slow - well some of the huge packages (e.g. x11) do take a while to install,
but I have done that once per file server (i.e. twice) so it doesn't worry me.

I did not try it.
Does it work on half-installed stuff?  I didn't want to try it as I was
having very strange behavior of /tmp after a failed contrib/install.

I just tried contrib/remove, lots of files were rm -f'd, and in the end,
contrib/install says it's still installed.

Thanks for that feedback.  I'm having some issues with it not completing,
and now /tmp says "clone failed" when I try to ls from a cwd of /tmp.

getting "clone failed" when doing "ls" from a cwd of /tmp.  I ended up just
firing up another ramfs to move on.  It looks like X11 is now installing via
contrib after some manual cleanup in /dist/replica of X11 and the client
subdir's X11 files.

I don't honestly know what happened during the very first attempt.  Could
have been a network interruption I suppose, but it's difficult to tell.

been there, done that too. I realize that this all works for some
people, just not for me (and a few others).

And, really, it should not take hours to install a package. It should
not take longer to install openssh than it takes to install ubuntu.
But it does.

Nope, I upped my RAM, cleaned up, and tried again, and I'm still getting
those errors :-(

9grid appears to still be down so I can't give Ron's 9pm a shot.

educated guess at the answer...

contrib/remove prints the commands to remove the package, it does
not actually do the removal, thats up to you to select the text abd submit it,
in a similar way to slay(1).

It also preprnds a hash to the rm command for any files which do not
match those installed - so if you have changed one of the packages files
it is not removed by default.

does this clear things up?

This looks like the fault of the person who generated the package (though
I may be wrong).

Do you run stats(1) while doing the pull? Does it shows any

also it shouldn't take that long... if you have the latest contrib
tools what happens
it's this: it first fcp's an iso.bz2 to your /tmp and runs replica from there.

of course that iso.bz2 is 22 MB, but that's not contrib's fault

I installed the contrib tools today, so those are pretty new.

I wonder if my tmp is big enough...  I've got 512MB of ram but I don't know
the size of my tmp off the top of my head.  I'll have to look at it later.

nope, the log is the problem, but anyways, ignore those errors, the installation
worked just fine.

I'll try to remove them, so it doesn't confuse anyone

neat. That's a good step. 9pm won't use replica but at the same time
this looks like a great idea.

 Xclock does.

ok, dillo is a linux binary, right?  and it looks like is looking for
a unix socket,
but equis has APE sockets!
so for dillo try tcp DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0

I did try that, thinking that could have been the problem.  It didn't work,
but I got a different error.

there is a very old version of linuxemu in that lbun...  the current
one supports ape unix domain sockets (even server side).  it might be
possible to repack the lbun with a current version, but i can't
remember the details.

okay, either a process is in the Broken state, or

be able to get a lot of information with ps and ns|grep /tmp
