Clover General discussion

[Matgen84]

Hi @Slice

 

Thanks you for adding Aptiomemoryfix and AptioInput again 

 

I don't understand why in makepkg there is only Aptiomemoryfix and in makeiso only AptioInput

Thanks a lot for explanations  Can you tell me why AptioMemoryFix and AptioInputFix in Clover aren't the same size than those that are built from the original repo

Original repo has XCODE5 compilation.

Clover repo has GCC53 compilation.

See the difference.

Hi @Slice

 

I can't build Clover from Source with GitHub latest commit and I don't understand why. Please help me.

Try again. It's been fixed with the last commit.

 

However, we seem to have a bug with this one. Check out Current booted revision.

Is this possible to correct the Pure Legacy boot file and the Legacy script for installing in APFS System ?

I am not sure this is possible.

This is why I was suggesting switching from ftp:// to https:// so it can access the URLs.

The big problem is that mirrors are often unsyncronized or offline:

We no longer recommend creating web mirrors, because it has turned out that (a) few people can make use of them, and (b) many mirrors either became out of date or went offline relatively frequently. We don't want outdated information about the GNU project to be disseminated.

Nonetheless, if you wish to mirror www.gnu.org for your own purposes, that is ok with us. We recommend using mod_proxy. Here is an unsupported recipe of Apache directives for your <VirtualHost>:

..so why not open port 21 to your firewall?

Vector, I wasn't suggesting using mirrors. Just literally replacing this string "ftp://" with "https://" in the existing URLs. That's all.

Needs to be replaced in all instances.  

 

In buildgcc.sh, build_gcc9.sh and buildgcc-4.9.sh.

 

It should look something like this.

It is by chance working using ftps://

Bro, ftps (port 21), sftp (port 22). https is not the only protocol available... and ftp[etc.] is used by those have an access token to these repositories.. which can be different from http(s).

So, are you suggesting trying ftps instead? I'm not sure I understand what you're suggesting. :))

 

The ftp port is blocked, not sure about ftps. I can try....if you think that could work. If not...I guess I'll always have to replace ftp(s) with https so I can download.

I try is appreciated also because I-m not the mantainers of these/those scripts, we have to ask sir Zenith432 who made the script and if is ok for him. ftps should have no difference in the case. Plus https is not resolved here.. maybe there-s a redirection ad I have to add some flag for curl.

Nope. ftp or ftps makes no difference. It doesn't work with either one of them.

 

Also, if you remember, we did have the exact same issue before with buildgettext.sh. And it was fixed exactly the same way by Zenith.

What's your ISP that block port 21 and port 22?

Was no longer in my head, but you too had the same concern about ftp and why not https, maybe for a simply reason... like an authenticated account: 

or just because adviced by GNU for some reasons... and anyway before doing that I have to understand why the gnu links are not resolved for me with https...  why I asked you to try to open port 21 in your router's firewall... why I'm reluctant (i.e. to make you happy I've to make me crying).

It's not my router. It's at work.  I've got no control over ports and such. Works fine at home. But at home, I've got no restriction on the ports.  I don't know about authentication pop-up. I'm guessing switching to https will make that pop-up not show up anymore...? I don't know...

 

Thing is, it was fixed exactly like that before. :)) And it's exactly the same issue. So...if it wasn't an issue before to simply switch to https, why would it be an issue now? :))

 

Anyway, I don't want to make you cry. So, if this is causing issues for other people, I'll just make a backup of those 3 edited files, and replace them whenever I want to compile Clover. Simple as that.

 

Thank you very much for your feedback.  Aaaand..happy downloading, if you're planning on upgrading to final version of Catalina (build 19A583) tonight.

Your profile picture says you're a cat! I'm confused.  

 

Vector, look, it's ok man. I don't wanna cause anyone any troubles. And if changing this causes you other issues (although, again, the same exact thing has been done for compiling with buildgettext), and you seem to be ok with that...then let's just leave it.

It's a light year I didn't compile it as I have the same problem. Installed it using homebrew. Wait! ...something tells me that switching back to ftp...

If you're looking for an alternative fix for this...well, I don't know. And unfortunately I can't help you with that. :))

 

The issue is the restricted ports. And a valid workaround is simply using https in front of the URLs instead of ftp.

 

There might be other ways to fix this... But as I said, unfortunately that's the easiest fix I could find. :)) For a more "professional" fix...I'm not the guy to ask. :))
