Hello,

I have installed YDL 2.1 on a beige G3 for a couple of weeks now.

I am quite pleased with it.

There are still a few issues I don't seem to be able to fix. I'll put
them in separate e-mails to simplify followups.

Issue #3 : yup.

I tried to use yup for the first time yesterday, but that didn't work.
Apparently, I am not the first to ask questions about yup on this
mailing list, but I didn't find an answer to my problem in the archives.

This is what I did (as root):
[root@g3ydl root]# yup config mirror

The following message appears:
Retrieving http://www.yellowdoglinux.com/yup/yup.master.txt

After some time, the program exits with the following message:
Traceback (innermost last):
   File "/usr/sbin/yup", line 29, in ?
     yup.main()
   File "/usr/lib/yup/yup.py", line 271, in main
     yupmirrors.UpdateMirrorList()
   File "/usr/lib/yup/yupmirrors.py", line 127, in UpdateMirrorList
     yupurl.retrieve(url, '%s/mirror-list' %(yupcfg.cfg.cachedir), callback)
   File "/usr/lib/yup/yupurl.py", line 45, in retrieve
     eval(scheme + '_getfile')(url, outfile, callback, previous)
   File "/usr/lib/yup/yupurl.py", line 94, in http_getfile
     http_session = httplib.HTTP(netloc)
   File "/usr/lib/python1.5/httplib.py", line 53, in __init__
     if host: self.connect(host, port)
   File "/usr/lib/python1.5/httplib.py", line 81, in connect
     self.sock.connect(host, port)
socket.error: (110, 'Connection timed out')

I'm connected to the internet via a cable modem. In the archives I read
someone was having problems because he could only connect via a proxy,
and yup might not support that.

There as no solution given in that thread, so I'm stuck.

How can I get yup to work ?

TIA,
Geert Janssens
