Important Change Required for Haiku Nightly and R1/Beta2 Users
HaikuPorts functionality restored
Due to the important change to repository identifiers announced earlier, the HaikuPorts repository was presenting users with an error reading unarchiving the repo
. This issue has now been fixed and users may need to re-add the HaikuPorts repository again.
Nightly and Beta2 users will need to “re-add” their release repositories to update to newer versions of Haiku and beyond. This change is part of a long-term improvement of our Haiku/HaikuPorts repository identifiers.
These commands need to be run in the terminal.
Check your current repositories:
pkgman list-repo
Nightly Users
Nightly users will need to “re-add” both their Haiku and HaikuPorts release repositories to be able to update to hrev55184 and beyond.
Re-add HaikuPorts repository
pkgman drop-repo HaikuPorts
pkgman add-repo https://eu.hpkg.haiku-os.org/haikuports/master/$(getarch)/current
Re-add Haiku repository
pkgman drop-repo Haiku
pkgman add-repo https://eu.hpkg.haiku-os.org/haiku/master/$(getarch)/current
R1/Beta2 users
Beta2 users will need to “re-add” their HaikuPorts release repository to be able to continue installing and updating apps from HaikuPorts.
Re-add HaikuPorts repository
pkgman drop-repo HaikuPorts
pkgman add-repo https://eu.hpkg.haiku-os.org/haikuports/master/$(getarch)/current
R1/Beta3 users
This change will not be required for r1/Beta3 users as the changes will be built into the Beta3 release.
Summary
The “identifier” will change from https://hpkg....
to tag:haiku....
for both Haiku, and HaikuPorts on nightly installs (this identifier will only change for HaikuPorts on R1/Beta2 installs). Once you see the new identifiers, you have been successfully changed over to the new repository ID.
