Users await a TDE build for it I suppose what, maybe 2-3 weeks? I know the v7 builds have been working nicely with its betas, but it's nice not to need to kludge. :) -- Evolution as taught in public schools, like religion, is based on faith, not on science.

I'm not an RPM user (at least not for TDE) so I can't test, but looks to me that the packages for Mageia8 are in the repo now (2021-Mar-02). Felix (or an other Mageia user reading this message) if you have some spare time, would you mind updating the wiki with the last available info? https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Mageia_Trinity_Repository_Installation_Inst… R14.0.6 vs R14.0.9, instructions for Mageai8, etc.

Hello, since the packages have been mirrored, I've updated the wiki, as mentioned by Gregory. But then, I've found a problem while running the command on my computers. # urpmi.addmedia trinity http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/rpm/mga8/trinity-r14/RPMS/x86_… invalid MD5SUM file (downloaded from http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/rpm/mga8/trinity-r14/RPMS/x86_…) # urpmi.addmedia trinity http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/rpm/mga8/trinity-r14/RPMS/noar… invalid MD5SUM file (downloaded from http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/rpm/mga8/trinity-r14/RPMS/noar…) Both files actually exist and are valid on the mirrors. I think something is wrong with the mirror redirection. The following curl command does not return anything: $ curl http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/rpm/mga8/trinity-r14/RPMS/noar… But the same url using wget works as expected: $ wget -q -O - http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/rpm/mga8/trinity-r14/RPMS/noar… So; the workaround is to use wget with urpmi (e.g; use 'urpmi --wget'), but I did not have this problem with Mageia 7 ... I don't know if it's a problem with my internet connection, or if it happens to everyone using Mageia 8. François

I think something is wrong with the mirror redirection. The following curl command does not return anything: $ curl http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/rpm/mga8/trinity-r14/RPMS/n oarch/media_info/MD5SUM

When you try curl -I http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/rpm/mga8/trinity-r14/RPMS/noar… ...you will see that the redirector response is redirection. When you try to add a parameter to follow this redirection: curl -L http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/rpm/mga8/trinity-r14/RPMS/noar… ...you will see that curl will follow redirect and shows the expected data. In other words, redirector does what he was designed - redirects the client's request to a specific server.

...

But the same url using wget works as expected: $ wget -q -O - http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/rpm/mga8/trinity-r14/RPMS/n oarch/media_info/MD5SUM

Because wget this redirect follows automatically, it gives the data as you expected.

...

So; the workaround is to use wget with urpmi (e.g; use 'urpmi --wget'), but I did not have this problem with Mageia 7 ... I don't know if it's a problem with my internet connection, or if it happens to everyone using Mageia 8.

Is it possible that urmpi is not ready to follow the redirection?
