Packages.json missing V2 update not working

[NikoGrano]

./mirror.php --resync -v

After this I see there is only p2 folder created without packages.json.

If I try run --v2 it just fails.

This issue I've never suffered before. I get this issue #6 and issue #8, but it's resolved.

As far as I know, using the ./mirror.php --v2 is good enough to setup the Composer V2 mirror at most of usual moments.

The ./mirror.php --resync -v command is to force to sync all Composer mirror.

Maybe it can do following steps:

• Removing all releated Composer mirror folders.
• Running the ./mirror.php --v2 command.
• If above command running result is not expected, running the ./mirror.php --resync -v.

Well, I'll try purge the downloaded files... It just takes with ZFS ages to complete 😓

[NikoGrano]

12 hours later, 10M inodes purged, lot of inodes rebuilt and it magically created the packages.json...

I decided to not support v1. It's anyways deprecated and probable going away in close future.

Hi,

Sorry. I cannot help you because I cannot reproduce your issue.

I follow your steps to create Composer mirror and it doesn't have any error.

I guess that the Network bandwidth is not good enough and it causes syncing mirror is not done correctly.

I give another try

rm -Rf /var/repos/mirror
./mirror.php --v2 -v

OK let's brute force 👎

while [ $? != 0 ]; do ./mirror.php --v2 -v; done gave lots of stack trace but 4 hours later still no packages.json :(

Relaunched ... new error elsewhere

[peter279k]

Just share my experiences.

I do same steps about running ./mirror.php --v2 -v command on different hosts that provided by different host providers and I got different results.

And one of host that I need to run the ./mirror.php --resync -v command to be forced to sync Composer mirror.

[Stef-33560]

Shall we hence reopen the issue ?

[peter279k]

I think it doesn't have to reopen this issue because it's out of scope for this repository.

[Stef-33560]

I think I've found the workaround. See PR #11 :)
