Timeout fetching dependencies

[iainnicol]

I am unable to build with make install. It seems to time out fetching the dependencies. I am new to IPFS, so it's possible of course that the fault may lie in another component.

Someone forgot to pin QmQ1TuGrcSXjsGXEhdWPJTyfkrgMHCu2pcENRxgHQQ59wL

This is a big deal, it's (still) impossible to build this tool.

[hackergrrl]

This project needs a maintainer! (This was once me, but I don't follow IPFS very closely these days.)

Tracked missing dependency: ipget → fallback-ipfs-shell → ipfs-embedded-shell

@whyrusleeping any chance you got ipfs-embedded-shell v0.1.0 stashed on offline node somewhere? If not, can you re-release it as v0.1.1?

[whyrusleeping]

Doesnt look like I have it pinned. Let me see if i can recreate it

[whyrusleeping]

@lidel heres the new hash: QmcbLLZJa9oXnYTZWfS4T16n8B2mHFZkAzkKBNdGVzgG8g

[lidel]

Thanks! @noffle do you mind adding me as a collaborator to https://github.com/noffle/fallback-ipfs-shell ? To finalize fix we need to bump deps there and make a new release.

[hackergrrl]

@lidel done! thanks y'all for taking such quick awesome action :heart:

@whyrusleeping I don't know where else to comment on this, but would it be worth hosting source releases on dist.ipfs.io? They could have gx deps vendored already or something like that.

Edit: also I revived QmQ1TuGrcSXjsGXEhdWPJTyfkrgMHCu2pcENRxgHQQ59wL but it still won't build because of the floodsub conflict.

[whyrusleeping]

@djdv we do pin all the dependencies on the same infrastructure as dist.ipfs.io. If anything isnt accessible, then it should be brought to our attention so we can pin it there.

[djdv]

@whyrusleeping Sorry, I meant like a tar style archive, something that contains the source in a state where building is basically guaranteed. In this case a release that had all the dependencies vendored in a way that allowed you to basically reproduce the release binary of the same version, if that makes sense.

[whyrusleeping]

Oh yeah, thats a great idea. We should add that as a step to our distibutions build script.
