@ihaterust I can reproduce this error too by building the upstream project directly, you should report this at https://github.com/nroi/flexo/issues

I am unable to build this package, cargo gives an error compiling rustc-serialize.

error: could not compile `rustc-serialize` (lib) due to 1 previous error

@desbma all good now, wasn't sure about tests on that was guessing that the latest git snapshot might have fixed the tests.

Opened an issue for it: https://github.com/nroi/flexo/issues/115

@FixedWing @sovanyio Can you try -7 ? I have left the unit tests enabled, but disabled the integration tests. The flexo-git package does not run any tests, that is why building it works, but it may hide real issues.

@FixedWing, had the same issue with -4 and -6. I moved to the git package and all is good now.

@FixedWing I am not the author of flexo, I think you should open an issue on the upstream repository https://github.com/nroi/flexo to understand why tests fail on your system. I could just disable tests, but it's a good practice to run them before building the package, precisely because they can reveal real problems.

I successfully compiled 1.6.9-2 but now when I try to compile -4 I get:

Also, is it possible that these tests, especially when aborted, could corrupt files in Flexo's cache? It might be coincidence, but right after this I had files that were corrupted that I had to manually delete. This has happened a few times now and invariably stops Flexo from starting or running. Query, could Flexo be made more robust by downloading and overwriting corrupted files rather than terminating/refusing to start?

@joshtau You are absolutely right, I have copied the service file from the flexo-git package a while ago and did not bother to review it at the time because the maintainer is the author of flexo. I have fixed the network dependency, and also some other stuff like hardening options that made no sense for a service not running as root, or others that were missing.

Hi, thanks so much for this. Been using it for ages with 0 issues.

Would it be better to target network-online.target instead of network.target? Systemd has a.. rather opinionated wiki article here about the different stages: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/NetworkTarget/

My network was being slow on boot, hasn't been an issue yet but was looking what relies on what and saw flexo. Machine rarely reboots, so shouldn't be a problem, but if the mirror checker happens before the network is actually ready this might cause issues.
