eopkg has good help output. No need to wonder what rr or dr do when it tells you.

❯ eopkg -help |grep repo
           add-repo (ar) - Add a repository
       disable-repo (dr) - Disable repository
        enable-repo (er) - Enable repository
     list-available (la) - List available packages in the repositories
        list-newest (ln) - List newest packages in the repositories
          list-repo (lr) - List repositories
        remove-repo (rr) - Remove repositories
        update-repo (ur) - Update repository databases

    TraceyC Thanks, but I mainly related to above sayings regarding dr and rr here,
    and my side note mainly related to an incidence I saw long ago on channel (technical, no mess) which might have been related. since I am a newbie I also explored a bit and that was my way to explain it/show it's this way, if a bit awkward... (This time I said it's not a recommendation for a REALLY good reason OFC. I did try to explore the exact behavior myself.)

    OFC showing eopkg help like you did was a better way 🙂

    Anyway... Thanks for your post. It's helpful. (in general, and also personally to me - I don't know how to grep and examples help me too, BTW)

    P.S. Don't worry, I have/had eopkg working great on my side, it was just to show something 🙂

      Ya I had a bad hair day that day when something simple went haywire..lol (isnt that the way its suppose to work?)
      And thanks for all the input.
      I even missed the rr command that day even tho I looked at the help go figure oh well.

      So I took a quick look into the code around this and eopkg is actually programmed to replace the RIT mirror with the CDN if it's found. This was a step that was taken in order to migrate everyone to the new CDN.

        ReillyBrogan Yes. You are right. It was some pisi CDN update, I forgot which. (checked: from 25/4.)

        However I meant to relate to a chat long held in the channel, with an output added, which I had no idea (as a newbie) why it did not work initially then that way, but later the replacement was held as should, and I wondered why, not being a programmer. The details I don't remember but the system.base error also appeared then.

        Reference
        https://dev.getsol.us/R2442:ef46fb7dd247612f67bce7ad67631669efd36939
        Probably no matter. (chat was 17/6 on Support I think, but it probably doesn't matter anymore)

          ReillyBrogan Ah forgot about that so thats why things happened to me that did.lol
          I will try to someday figure out why cdn does not work for me and gives me that badzip error all the time
          (thought I was losing it at the time..lol)

            @Axios could you actually switch back to the CDN and try it again? I may have resolved this issue.

              ReillyBrogan I have not done the current updates.
              Changed it back was giving me same error at first not sure what caused it to change.
              But now It downloades like 8 files and is stuck with badzip error(which is more than it was doing before)
              And this is totally weird if I disable ipv6(it works like I just described)
              If I disable ipv4 and use ipv6 (works like I just describe)
              So now both Ipv4 and ipv6 seem be somewhat working where as before ipv4 was only one working.
              messed with mtu seem have no effect
              Note so yes before it was not going anywhere now at least doing something

              Thought I would try it again now its back to not getting past the index file.
              Oh well I give up on it. something screwy somewhere.

                Give it another try please.

                If that doesn't work I'll have you hop onto IRC and we can potentially debug there.

                  I will try check it out on friends isp and see what happens this week.

                    Interesting readout just learning

                    cdn

                    Cdn when downloading file (did it multi times latency below seems good/worse)

                      I did it some more got reset errors but was when it listed packages to be upgraded before I hit yes
                      after did not see any errors.
                      Dont know if this would cause issues.

                      Note dont know why amazonaws showed up browser was closed during tests (tcpdump)

                        Axios has to be firewall setting or some underneath app permission--when pests like amazon get in past the listening/port stage then somehow it was invited. simple buried browser settings could be as innocent as 'allow content to load after tab/browser closed?'
                        last audit I saw those entities (every big corp here) were always welded to the incoming ports listening and waiting for an rsvp than never came🙂. in ufw default configuration I trust so far.
                        Best I got I ain't even close to competent in this arena

                          Axios There's not really anything out of the ordinary there. You're seeing Cloudflare headers because the CDN is served via Cloudflare, the file should be the same.

                              ReillyBrogan Kinda what i thought but wasnt sure nothing jumped out at me.
                              It downloaded 8 files last nite and 10 files tonite and now it wont do anything again same error..go figure
                              (which is strange)
                              Ok late here Zzzzzz time

                                Still not working for me errors out on index file so its seeing the repo change.
                                But I am out of ideas So one these day I will backup and install again if that doesnt solve it
                                will decide what to do then.

                                4 days later

                                I can no longer do any updates Rit or Cdn (On either of my solus Computers)
                                So I have decided to go back to using my Mac
                                Will be around Lurking in shadows keeping up on things but will not be posting.
                                I dont give up easly but this one got me and I dont have the time to deal with it anymore
                                right now.
                                And if one cant update not much good and not a wise choice for a future Os for me.
                                If things change will be back because I did like it.

                                  Axios if you can't update your os than it is unwise to use--I agree with you.
                                  Can't get to the bottom of your isp/networking business. that's been plaguing you like a mosquito for a long time. purge dns cache but I'm sure you did. your connection and RIT...can't figure it out.
