Build my own Vix image

[BrianTheTechieSnail]

Er, is that directory experimental or developer on the web server?

Never mind, I made a symlink from experimental to developer on my feeds server just in case.

In my build environment under build-enviroment/builds/openvix/developer/h7/tmp/deploy/ipk
I only seem to have all, cortexa15hf-neon-vfpv4, h7 and zgemmah7

whereas under build-enviroment/builds/openvix/release/h7/tmp/deploy/ipk
I have 3rdparty, all, cortexa15hf-neon-vfpv4, h7, h7_3rdparty and zgemmah7

Is that correct or has something gone wrong with my build environment?

It seems to work right if I just symlink to the release versions of 3rdparty and h7_3rdparty in the developer part of my feeds server.

It needs to correspond to the paths on your server

. For me it is like this...

mkdir -p /var/www/feeds/openvix/developer/5.4/h7
ln -s /home/openvix/5.4/builds/openvix/developer/h7/tmp/deploy/ipk/* /var/www/feeds/openvix/developer/5.4/h7

Just starting builds from scratch again on a new laptop.

But there's a problem trying to download

http://www.dvbsky.net/download/linux/media_build-bst-14-141106.tar.gz

needed for the MBTwin.

There is no DNS record for www.dvbsky.net. This might be a temporary registration error, or it might have gone away completely.

So, does anyone have a copy of that file that they could get to me, so that I can fudge it into the build, please?

(And it might need to go into a MIRROR somewhere?).

Added the.txt file extension to allow upload

 

[birdman]

Thanks. I'll edit that into my SRC_URI temporarily...which has worked.

They seem to have lost the www subdomain.
http://dvbsky.net/download/linux/media_build-bst-14-141106.tar.gz
seems to work.

If they own dvbsky.net I can't see that they'd have hived off www. I suspect that their DNS server records are messed up (or have changed to not include www.).

I guess lost was the wrong word.
Yes their DNS is messed up. Today it is only intermittently returning an IP for dvbsky.net even without the www.

I now get this, which might explain things a bit? It's actually moved to dvbsky.eu.

[gmllaptop]: host dvbsky.net
dvbsky.net has address 94.102.215.112
dvbsky.net mail is handled by 5 mxbiz1.qq.com.
dvbsky.net mail is handled by 10 mxbiz2.qq.com.
[gmllaptop]: host www.dvbsky.net
[COLOR=#ff0000] www.dvbsky.net is an alias for www.dvbsky.eu.[/COLOR]
www.dvbsky.eu has address 94.102.215.112

Yes I got that yesterday and today but, for me, www.dvbsky.eu and dvbsky.eu don't (yet?) resolve to IP addresses.
Later: My router directs all DNS queries to OpenDNS 208.67.222.222, etc. and for some reason they don't (yet?) resolve [www.]dvbsky.eu, while 1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8, 9.9.9.9 all do.
Later still: Now it looks like OpenDNS has caught on and all these domains .net and .eu now resolve!!!

Working ok now for me.

Did you build latest?

I took a stab at it yesterday, it built about 9% before bombing out.

Ubuntu 18.04 on wsl2

For me release builds don't work at all, stopping near the beginning with an error or two.
Developer builds mostly work but I don't seem to get all the plug-ins in a usable state.
But I may well be doing something wrong.

If anybody is serious about building their own images, its more practical to setup a vanilla Ubuntu system. Because most of my PC‘s always come with win10, I create a dual boot system win10/Ubuntu and then add the extra requirements to the Ubuntu system.
I usually run multiple builds every week for various images/receivers without any issues, so its really quite possible.

I just tried again and actually at the moment I do seem to get a full set of plugins in my developer feed but the image itself is a complete disaster -- I had to do a recovery flash to get back to something workable!

I prefer a virtual machine so I can do other things at the same time if necessary.

The link was working 10 days ago, appears to be empty now. All I'm doing is using the url in ms edge.

Thats why after many years, I changed from using windows application to those on Ubuntu - I only use win10 occasionaly for Echannelizer (setting up a new box), and documents where I need to make changes (Word/Adobe)

In fact it's working ok again now, that reference to empty was probably me misinterpreting the download message.

 

[lincsat]

I did try a full build about a Week ago on Ubuntu 20 and there were some URL's missing or not connecting, from memory I think it was bitbake.org or something like that. I've put my Ubuntu 18 SSD back in now, so can't check. As of Yesterday, the release builds were still failing on the serviceapp plugin and some developer builds were still failing on the hisilicon.

@BobbyC did you do the qemu patch posted a few Weeks ago

 

[Willo3092]

Yes, release builds still failing on serviceapp for me too.
