[Gnu-arch-users] unsigned to signed archive conversion causing trouble?

[Andreas Fuchs]

Hi,

I just converted my archive to signed, using src/docs-tla/HOWTO.crypto
as a basis (made a --signed mirror of my-default-archive,
"archive-mirror"ed, renamed my old archive, put the new archive into
its place, removed =meta-info/mirror), and encountered a problem:

I try to check out something (really anything):

~/hui$ tla get ubf-lisp--main--1.0

Um.

The temporary directory contains these files:

~/hui$ ls -l ,,get.ubf-lisp--main--1.0--patch-8.1073217637.66557.1
total 18

drwxr-xr-x    4 asf      asf           512 Jan  4 13:00 {arch}/
~/hui$

This is not the only archive that breaks in this way; all the others
that I tried break in similar places (all are missing a file, some
even in the {arch} directory).

I have put up the broken ubf-lisp directory at
<URL:http://www.boinkor.net/misc/ubf-lisp-broken-archive.tgz>. The
version of TLA I used to generate the signed archive and to check out
is address@hidden/tla--devo--1.2--patch-50.

I was using a greedy revision library before, but when I removed the
library entries for the old archive, the same error was still
there. ~/hui/ is an empty directory, so there should be no stale/old
pristines or inode signatures.

Thanks for any help,
