Hi All, I've been trying to migrate my package building process (for debian sid) for about the last month (on and off ;-) ) but I've encountered one fatal issue, and one pita issue. The fatal one: ...
You are missing the file cube.obj from share/extensions/Poly3DObjects. This is a problem with your source code checkout, since this file does exist in Bazaar. Try "bzr update".
Aha, I should've thought through that enough to work it out (lacking time, and in a hurry whenever I get into it... excuses ;) ) Turns out I'm still using the -C (ignore cvs/svn cruft on copy) command with rsync, and for whatever reason it seems to be dropping that stuff out.
Fatal issue solved!
The pita issue - I've followed the instructions for checking out the latest bzr branch (head?) using the command: bzr checkout lp:inkscape
- this takes _ages_. It begins with a decent dl rate of ~300KBps, but
then drops to ~4KBps for the next 4 hours!
You can try: bzr checkout --lightweight lp:inkscape This will reduce download size, since only the current revision is checked out.
From your description it seems like your ISP is throttling you, there's nothing we can do about this.
The lightweight is what I was looking for - It's a strange thing though, using the non-lightweight command, the first 10-20 MB will sit on 300KBps consistently before dropping to 2KBps (this is reproducible) Using the lightweight command, I never see the 300K - it starts at 2K and stays there.
I'll give it a shot on a different network anyway, and see how it goes.
Thanks, Bernie
