slack13.0 download

heavytull · External Since: Nov 28, 2006 Posts: 124

I just downloaded slack 13.0 from an ftp server, but after checking
the md5sums I noticed that 345 files were missing. most of these are
from the '/source' directory.
the command that i used is like this:
wget -r -nH --cut-dirs=3 ftp://ftp.belnet.be/packages/slackware/slackware-13.0/
-a log.txt

can you write here the command to use?
I used this but it doesn't work:
rsync --dry-run -azv -e ssh --delete ftp.belnet.be:/packages/slackware/
slackware-13.0/ ./

Ah, well, even though wget usually dows a good job, you won't want to
rely on ftp when integrity is your concern. I never had any missing
files with it, AFAIR, but I sure had my share of corrupt ones. You might
want to give rsync a try. With the right options you should get away
without re-downloading anything. YMMV

And if the end goal is to grab everything in the release, it might make
more sense to grab the whole DVD from BitTorrents.

Not quite what you want, but here's my local mirror sync script
that you could pull the rsync command from. Are you sure your
local mirror uses ftp.belnet.be for rsync?

Hmm, this works because $vers is a global set below, but '$vers' should be
'$1' here to match the rsync options below. Sorry for any confusion Wink

Maybe by removing the '--cut-dirs=3' you'll retrieve all the files.
And using '--mirror' you can rerun wget and get only the missing files.

Why?
Wouldn't it be just a random guess?

I tried this:
rsync --dry-run -azv --delete "ftp.belnet.be":packages/slackware/
slackware-13.0/ ./

this is not working

the local mirror is ./

wow, i don't understand what you do.

here is the output of my command:
rsync --dry-run -azv --delete "ftp.belnet.be":packages/slackware/
slackware-13.0/ ./
ssh: connect to host ftp.lip6.fr port 22: Connection timed out

ok you're right the url is not a right one.

I finally got all the files with the following command:

rsync --size-only -azv rsync://slackware.osuosl.org/slackware/slackware-13..0/
../

'-e ssh' is definitely wrong here.

Hm... -P makes --progress superfluous, I don't think -v is very useful
unless you do debugging and -H is pointless, as AFAIK slack trees use
only soft links. I tend to use -a --delete --progress and excludes for
source and kdei.

Your URL doesn't look like a correct Rsync-URL. Try something like this:

rsync -avz --exclude="source/" --delete --delete-excluded \
rsync://slackware.osuosl.org/slackware/slackware-13.0/ /ftp/slackware-13.0/

HTH,

It may have changed, I didn't download slack13.0, but I remember of
more 3 directories in previous releases.

My two cents:

rsync -h --progress -vaz --delete-after --exclude="slackware/kdei/*" \
--include="*/" "slackware.mirrors.tds.net::slackware/slackware-13.0/ .

Edit "--exclude=..." up to your taste.
