Hello everyone,

I wanted to look on kakoune package for versions but I had no luck with fedora packages site. Could you please look on what the problem is?

https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/s/kakoune

I am trying to run the indexing, it has been failing a lot recently due to threads loosing connections with mdapi.fedoraproject.org.

Let's see if we can get it to work :smile:

#411 has some useful information - links to mdapi for example.

As a test I tried https://mdapi.fedoraproject.org/rawhide/srcpkg/clide, and it is there.

I ll try to run another indexing but I do not guarantee the results will be better that what we have now :S

I closed my dupe report #436, but the strange redirect I noted there seems significant:

$ curl https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/python-colorlog/bugs/all
<html>
 <head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/packages/tw2/resources/tw2.jquery/static/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.js" ></script>

  <title>302 Found</title>
 </head>
 <body>
  <h1>302 Found</h1>
  The resource was found at <a href="http://localhost:10016/packages/s/python-colorlog">http://localhost:10016/packages/s/python-colorlog</a>;
you should be redirected automatically.


 </body>
</html>

...Redirect to localhost!? Even if that's just how Moksha expresses "No data found"... it should probably find a different way to say "No data found".

The search is totally broken and even when trying to access the links directly you are redirected to the search, i.e. the whole website is broken: https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/lollypop/ https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/dino

Yeah, and it's especially unfortunate because all of the https://bugz.fedoraproject.org/ bug links in RPM metadata are redirected through apps.fedoraproject.org. Which means the bug lists are inaccessible for all of the missing packages.

ferdnyc avatar Mar 21 '20 13:03 ferdnyc

In fact, given the problem described in my previous comment, and since it seems this situation is not a short-term fix, is there any way requests to https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/s/packagename could just be blanket-redirected somewhere else? The simplest solution would be https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/packagename, which is better than nothing — and "nothing" is precisely what a lot of packages currently have.

I was just on a GitHub page for a GEdit plugin, and the "Fedora official repo" link went to https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/s/gedit-control-your-tabs ... which is currently absent.

There are a lot of links out there pointing to Fedora Packages listings, and it's a shame to leave them all in limbo the way they are right now.

One more:

  • https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/s/liquidctl

From earlier comments, it doesn't sound like missing packages can be added individually, so there's probably not much point listing them in this issue :(

richardfearn avatar Apr 24 '20 09:04 richardfearn

Even if they can't be added individually it makes a good testing sample to list them. Also shows how big the problem is.
