but I wrote it for other users to the Pardus-Devel-Mailinglist

There is a new version of pisi in 2009.2.
Try to rebuild the repo index file (server side) with the latest pisi, and/or change some flags. contrib had the same problem.

[atolboo]

Try to rebuild the repo index file .......

I expect that only a modification of the file pisi-index.xml.bz can solve this problem as you can read here.
I think they also did that with the contrib-repro.

The answer from developer Fatih of my question in the Mailinglist you can read here

[baho]

don't worry..

konsole and

sudo pisi er xxxxxxxxx

xxxxxx = name of your inactive repo

[Andreas]

sudo pisi er xxxxxxxxx

xxxxxx = name of your inactive repo

Hello Baho,

thank you so much my friend for your reply and your wonderful packages in my/our repo.

I have noticed thats a lot of programs in Pardus 2009.2 RC, if looking in the Pisi. Old versions of Pardus often been critised for a small program package, But I think now it can compete with most of the others distributions in this matter.
I have often before going back to Ubuntu or Linux Mint before because of this, But I proplably will stick to Pardus this time, now the program handler have the most things you needs. Even Gnome programs like Cheese (for webcams)

It feels stabile to, so I think it would not be so much problems as when Pardus 2009 was released. So I hope Pardus will do some promotion/commercial, they got a great product. It would deserve a place among the top ten distributions at Distrowatch.

konsole and
sudo pisi er xxxxxxxxx
xxxxxx = name of your inactive repo

Thanks.
I think this a temporary solution as this activation of the repo can only be done in konsole and not in Package Manager.
The final solution is this change in the repo or a modification of PiSi.

Even Gnome programs like Cheese (for webcams)

Wxcam will also do this job.

[John A]

Cheese works better than Wxcam for me. But maybe its because of my Logitech cam. But thats why its good to have some options in Pisi/programhandler.
Then you are not depend at only one option.
