I may be dumb... but I can't figure out how to change the mirror. minimals.contextgarden.net seems to be hard-coded in a number of places. Help please? Best, Mica On Thu, Sep 27, 2012 at 1:05 AM, Mojca Miklavec < mojca.miklavec.lists@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi,

Is minimals.contextgarden.net offline?

Until we figure out what exactly is wrong one can use the mirror:

rsync://metatex.org/minimals/ http://minimals.metatex.org/

It is indeed somewhat complicated. Changes are needed in first-setup.sh as well as in mtx-update.lua. To complicate matters, one of the first things that happens in first-setup.sh is to retrieve a fresh and unaltered mtx-update.lua. My naïve recipe follows:

1. change contextgarden.net to metatex.org on line 99 of first-setup.sh 2. run once, which fails, but updates mtx-update.lua 3. comment out line 99 of first-setup.sh, to prevent further updates of scripts 4. change line 534 of mtx-update.lua to contain metatex.org instead of contextgarden.net

run first-update.sh again, this time hopfully with success.

May I suggest that the version of mtx-update.lua that can be retrieved from metatex.org contains references to that server and not contextgarden.net. I realize that then it is no longer a mirror, but on the other hand it may be useful when contextgarden is down.

One of these days the minimals repository will be moved to the machine that runs the garden. After that we will change the scripts to find an active mirror. (if you do have the basic bin dir alrwady you can use another mirror with --server=...)
