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
