- <sea`> Huh? I've cloned the 'hurd' repository and I'm attempting to compile
- it, but the 'rtnetlink.h' header in
- 'hurd/pfinet/linux-src/include/linux/' is just blank. (Which leads to an
- error later down when a macro that's supposed to be defined in there is
- first used)
- <sea`> So I'm just wondering, is that file really blank? Or is this some
- unexpected error of decompression?
- <braunr> clone again and see
- <braunr> the file is definitely not empty
- <sea`> I cloned it twice, both have that file blank. BUT, I want to point
- out that both clones do have some decompression errors. (Some files are
- missing chunks in /both/ cloned repositories).
- <braunr> where did you clone it from ?
- <sea`> git.sv.gnu.org/hurd/hurd.git
- <braunr> hum decompression errors ?
- <braunr> can you paste them please ?
- <sea`> Hmm, I can clone again and show you an example if I find one
- <sea`> This was on the hurd. When I run: git clone $repo;, it seems to fail
- almost randomly with "incorrect header check", but when it does succeed,
- occasionally some files are missing chunks
- <sea`> and apparently entire files can be blank
- <braunr> http or git ?
- <sea`> git.
- <braunr> that's really weird
- <braunr> actually i don't even have problems with http any more nowadays ..
- <sea`> This is using the hurd image from sthibault
- <sea`> So once I get it recompiled and shuffle in the new binaries, the
- problem should probably go away
- <braunr> no
- <braunr> well maybe but
- <braunr> don't recompile
- <braunr> upgrade packages instead
- <sea`> Alright, I'll do an upgrade instead. Why that path specifically?
- <braunr> rebuilding is long
- <braunr> i wonder if the image you got is corrupted
- <braunr> compute the checksum
- <braunr> we've had weird reports in the past about the images he provides
- <braunr> well not the images themselves, but differences after dowloading
- ..
- <braunr> downloading*
- <sea`> The MD5SUMS file on his site isn't including the values for the most
- recent images.
- <sea`> It stops at 2012-12-28
- <braunr> hummm
- <sea`> Anyway, let's see. git clone failed again:
- <sea`> Receiving objects: 100% (50955/50955), 15.48 MiB | 42 KiB/s, done.
- <sea`> error: inflate: date stream error (incorrect header check) <- This
- is the interesting part
- <sea`> fatal: serious inflate inconsistency
- <sea`> fatal: index-pack failed
- <braunr> not intereseting enough unfortunately
- <braunr> but it might come from savannah too
- <braunr> try the mirrors at
- http://darnassus.sceen.net/gitweb/?a=project_list;pf=savannah_mirror
- <sea`> Let's see..if I try: 'git clone
- git://darnassus.sceen.net/gitweb/savannah_mirror/hurd.git', I get:
- 'fatal: remote error: access denied or repository not exported:
- /gitweb/savannah_mirror/hurd.git'
- <braunr> my bad
- <braunr> that's weird, it should work ..
- <braunr> oh, stupid translation error
- <sea`> translation? From one human language to another?
- <braunr> not translation actually
- <braunr> typo :)
- <braunr> it's either
- <braunr> git://darnassus.sceen.net/savannah_mirror/hurd.git
- <braunr> or
- <braunr> http://darnassus.sceen.net/gitweb/savannah_mirror/hurd.git
- <braunr> copy paste the url exactly please
- <braunr> /gitweb/ is only present in the http url
- <sea`> Ah, right. Okay, I'll paste it exactly
- <sea`> Ehm. The whole thing locked up badly. I'll reboot it and try again.
- <braunr> are you sure it locked oO ?
- <braunr> the hurd can easily become unresponsive when performing io
- operations
- <braunr> but you need more than such a git repository to reach that state
- <sea`> Yeah, that happens occasionally. It's not related to git, but rather
- it happens when I cancel some command.
- <braunr> your image must be corrupted
- <braunr> have you enabled host io caching btw ?
- <sea`> By now it's corrupted for sure..everytime it crashes the filesystem
- gets into a weird state.
- <sea`> I'll unpack a fresh image, then update the packages, and then try
- cloning this git repository.
- <braunr> i'll get the image too so we can compare sums
- <sea`> 957bb0768c9558564f0c3e0adb9b317e ./debian-hurd.img.tar.gz
- <sea`> Which unpacks to: debian-hurd-20130504.img
- <azeem_> the NSA might backdoor the Hurd, in anticipation of our scheduled
- world-dominance
- <braunr> for now they're doing it passively :
- <braunr> :p
- <braunr> sea`: same thing here
- <braunr> sea`: if you still have problems, the image itself might be wrong
- <braunr> in which case you should try with the debian network installer
- <sea`> Ah, so if problems persist, try with the network installer. Okay
- <sea`> Is there some recipe for constructing a hurd/mach minimal
- environment?
- <sea`> A system with only just enough tools and libraries to compile and
- poke at things.
- <braunr> not currently
- <braunr> we all work in debian environments
- <braunr> the reason being that a lot of patches are queued for integration
- upstream

-
-And: [[git_duplicated_content]].
-
-All these (very likely) have the same root cause: `SA_RESTART` restarting too
-much.
-
-With `git checkout`, Git uses in progress.c a SIGALRM handler (`SA_RESTART`;
-invoked every second via `setitimer(ITIMER_REAL)`) to display status messages:
-*x % already checked out*.
-
-To avoid the status update signals every second, in
-`[git]/progress.c:start_progress_delay` we can just return `NULL` (manually in
-GDB, for example), then both the *error: git checkout-index* and the
-[[duplicated content|git_duplicated_content]] issues go away.
-
-I'm guessing that when returning from a `SA_RESTART` signal handler, too much
-of the \`\`syscall''s is being restarted. For example, if a file has already
-been created, the restarted creation attempt would fail: *File exists*. If
-data has been written, it might get written again (duplication issue). Then,
-there are cases where `unlink` apparently returns EINTR, which is not kosher
-either. Etc.
-
-Do we have problems with `SA_RESTART` vs. the atomicity of our syscall-alikes?

- <braunr> hm, let's try to clone a huge repository
- <braunr> hm, cloning a whole linux repo, and still no problem :)
- <pinotree> weren't most/all the issues at unpack time?
- <braunr> i don't remember
- <braunr> we'll see when it gets there
- <braunr> the longest part is "resolving deltas", for which ext2fs is
- clearly the big bottleneck (no I/O, page-cache only, but still)
- <braunr> pinotree: well, slow, but no error
-

- <braunr> fyi, i've tried several checkouts of big repositories, and never
- got a single error
- <braunr> youpi: looks like the recent fixes also solved some git issues we
- had
- <braunr> i could clone big repositories without any problem
- <youpi> cool :)
