RE: LSB Sample Implementation - 11 packages retrieval failed

Hi - ... being new at the LSB, SI stuff I may be asking some very basic
questions. Please, bare with me..

As far as I can tell it is to build the LSB 1.3 version. Do you think the
directions provided on http://www.linuxbase.org/impl/build.html are still
good. Seems like the packages are downloaded from
cvs.gforge.freestandards.org location site per the instructions at this
link. How can I tell which is the backup location ?

The location you had provided
http://ftp.freestandards.org/pub/lsb/impl/packages has all the packages but
I can't tell if this site is used for download by the
"extras/entitycheck.py" command . I guess I can download each package
separately but don't know if that will be most efficient route...  Is there
a way to download all of these packages as a part of the
"extras/entitycheck.py" command.

thanks,

Hmmm.  You're trying to build the LSB 1.3 version, right?
Some of the upstream locations change over time, often
when a new package is released the old one moves to an
alternate spot.  We've fixed these are we go along, but
those changes are not "backported" to the 1.3 version.

Can you send me the url that's being used as the
"backup location"?  All the packages should be there
if they're not in the primaries, but I think there
was a bug in the url for the backup location.

Come to think of it, just make sure this is pasted into
extras/entitypath.py:

http://ftp.freestandards.org/pub/lsb/impl/packages

as fallback_url. That's the correct path.
