@admins this is still an issue as of this morning

In case they’re not actively reading this forum, what would be the proper channel to reach out to PureOS repository maintainers?

Update: Filed OS-issues!355 with a link to this thread to increase our chances that a PureOS package maintainer notices.

@JCS ?

My guess is that it expired over the weekend (in whatever timezone is applicable) and noone has got to it yet.

If this were me, I would be doing at least the bare minimum … a cron job that emails someone a warning a few working days in advance of expiry.

I got this :expressionless:

$ apt update
Get:1 http://repo.pureos.net/pureos byzantium InRelease [9,641 B]
Get:2 http://repo.pureos.net/pureos byzantium-security InRelease [9,650 B]
Get:3 http://repo.pureos.net/pureos byzantium-updates InRelease [9,649 B]
Reading package lists... Done
E: Release file for http://repo.pureos.net/pureos/dists/byzantium/InRelease is expired (invalid since 2d 21h 11min 36s). Updates for this repository will not be applied.

Yeah, that’s why I started this thread. It is kinda worrisome.

This happens fairly regularly in April/October going back to at least 2016.

They’ll get to it eventually and it’ll happen again until they decide that making this not happen is a priority.

And that would be an improvement.

It strikes me that they must be using PureOS themselves, so they must be affected by this as much as us.

Best way to insure a good product is to daily-drive that product in work and home life. If you want a product to do amazing, use it, care about it, then take your own gripes and problems as a personal drive to fix the product… I assume as well that they are using the product that they’ve been developing.

@irvinewade Do we have update yet? Also, I’ve noticed that the Admins group cannot be tagged for visibility…

Not everyone checks for updates regularly and/or in a way that will be visible/affected by this.

The store depends on apt, so you get the same message there. I just confirmed it.

Sorry, I am just a humble moderator of the forum. I don’t have any administrative access of any type to any Purism system.

I did tag @JCS in the hope that he can actually get the right system administrator on the case.

Otherwise known, rather unappetisingly, as “eating your own dog food” (aka “dogfooding”).

The team knows about this and is working toward a solution. Correct, many (most?) people at Purism do run PureOS. I, for example, use a L5 & LMv2 as my daily-drivers.

Can you maybe release the needed parameters to use the L5 as daily driver?

Our sysadmins took care of this and repository files were regenerated several hours ago. If anybody’s still having an issue, please let us know.

(The dak server had run out of disk space due to an excessive number of obsolete packages sitting in the morgue directory.)
