New mirrors, yay! Awesomeness! Here's to hoping this leads to more widespread Salix adoption. :D

Somehow I had overlooked this announcement. :oops:

gapan, thank you for taking care of this! The reposetup tool works great. I switched to the hostingxtreme mirror and haven't had any problems thus far.

Great Work! GREAT DISTRIBUTION!
Why is the China and Portugal repos not in reposetup. I'm using xfce 14.

They will be once I update the package. Also reposetup will update the list of mirrors on the fly...

Yesterday I needed to use the reposetup tool on my Salix installation, and I noticed a couple of minor points in the instructions that should be updated. I thought it might be helpful to point them out:
gapan wrote:To make this change easier, I have written a new system tool, reposetup. It is now in the repositories (or should be when all mirrors have synced), but if you're using enialis, you'll never get it as that server is not being updated. This new tool is included in an updated salixtools package, so if you want to use it, download the new package from the following URL:
http://download.salixos.org/i486/14.0/s ... ch-1gv.txz
The link above returns a "404 Not Found" error message. Apparently, gapan updated this utility to ver. 1.8.0, so the new link should be: http://download.salixos.org/i486/14.0/s ... ch-1gv.txz
gapan wrote:This package will work correctly only on Salix 14.0.

Once you have it, open a terminal window in the same directory where you downloaded it and run:

Code: Select all

su
spkg -u salixtools-1.7.0-noarch-1gv.txz
reposetup
which will bring up a dialog to select a mirror.
Therefore the CLI instructions for running reposetup should now read:

Code: Select all

su
spkg -u salixtools-1.8.0-noarch-1gv.txz
reposetup
Once I figured that out, everything worked like a charm. :)

Is any of this relevant to my new 14.1 install?

No. You already chose a repository mirror during installation.
