Thanks for the further info - I'll make sure we retest with Server 2025.

Hi @reseau_6272 and @aristo_4359,

Thanks for reporting this. The installer does add write permission to those directories but not read, I suppose under the (invalid?) assumption that all users by default have read access to there already. I've created PG-3112 to track this - we will likely have it fixed in this week's release (2025.10) or possibly 205.11 in two weeks.

Any change to feed that could affect a package is supposed to trigger this, and that does include deleting a package, adding a package, or a detected change in any repodata files from any associated connectors. What happens is any operation like that sets an index dirty flag for the feed, and if a request is made for it after that, it is rebuilt. There is also a 30 second delay before this can get triggered, so if you:

• upload/delete a package
• wait 30s
• get repodata/repomd.xml

It should show an updated timestamp and revision.

We are currently moving to more of a job-based system for these index rebuilds, which also will provide better visibility into their creation and allow for manually triggering them. We're starting this process with Debian feeds since those exhibit the most problems with the current system, but plan to extend it to rpm and apk as well.

Anyway, if you're not seeing it update even after the 30s delay then there must be some other issue at work, so we'll need to dig into that.

Hi @felfert,

Apologies for the delay, I was out of the office recently. We tested this one quite a bit before release and didn't see any cases of the index not getting updated. Of course, I believe you that it is happening, but it's not something I've been able to reproduce. One thing to note is that those repodata files in storage only get updated on-demand - so something would have to actually make a request for the index to get ProGet to rebuild it (this is something that we are planning to change in a separate issue, but that is how it works currently).

Of course, we'd be happy to do some testing with your packages specifically if you'd like to upload some - just open a ticket at https://my.inedo.com/tickets/new which does allow file attachments. Ignore the header that says it's for paid users only; we'll associate it with this forum post.

We've now fixed this and several other related RPM issues as PG-3094, scheduled for release this Friday in ProGet 2025.9. Thanks again for the bug report!

Hi @carsten_1879,

Thanks for trying it out. It is new, and has not been tested as much against older repositories. That said, we've reproduced this error and it's now fixed in the latest build - buildmaster:25.0.0-ci.28 if you would like to try it again. It's caused by older repos that don't support offset deltas being transmitted during a clone or fetch. Small repos that we used for testing ADOS so far were not large enough to have deltas at all, so those worked. So far as I can tell, the repository name containing a dot doesn't have any effect.

Thanks!

Hi Marc,

Thanks for the note! That file is actually a sort of cross-platform way of storing symbolic links. BuildMaster also includes all the binaries needed for agents on both Windows and Linux, including .net runtimes for all three. In order to save space we deduplicate identical binaries from the agents. We use a simple json file instead of proper symlinks because we use the same file on Windows/Linux and it's easier this way. All the paths in the file have historically used Windows path separators due to how we generate it, and we convert those in BuildMaster at runtime to the proper format.... or at least we were supposed to. At some point there was a regression added that caused this to not happen when updating from Linux.

Anyway, this will be fixed as BM-3981 in the next release :)

There was in issue with Docker container initialization due to some of the updated startup code in ProGet 2025 - it's now been resolved, and if you pull the proget:25.0.1 it should work.

Hope this helps!

This looks like it was caused by us packaging an old version of Inedo Hub as part of the offline installer. We'll have it fixed for the 2025.1 release which will go out this week.

Hi @layfield_8963,

We've added osx-arm64 as another target, and we'll start deploying that along with the other binaries. We'll probably push out a new release today or tomorrow.

Thanks!

Hi @layfield_8963,

Looks like this was just a simple bug preventing output from being written when stdout has been redirected. It's now fixed in pgutil 2.1.1.

Thanks for the update!
-Greg

Hi Fritz,

We appreciate the feedback on this! ProGet 2025 will indeed have a separate dedicated mount for the database, but we didn't include this in the preview. As to the other issues, yes we do have a supervisor that attempts to start postgres and perform a clean shutdown on container stop... but there are some bugs we are working through, likely made worse by the ownership issues you discovered.

These concerns will absolutely be addressed before launch.

Again, thanks for trying it out and please let us know of any other issues you find or suggestions you may have!

-Greg

Hi @dimas,

I've looked into this and it appears that restricted and multiverse in noble-backports do not actually have any packages in their indexes. It's a quirk of how these connectors are implemented in ProGet that components with no packages indexed are omitted from the output index. Is this causing a problem for you? We can look into changing this behavior, but it likely won't be a trivial fix.

-Greg

Just to let you know - the PR has been merged and we'll release AWS 3.1.2 on Friday with the fix included. Thank you!

pgutil 2.1.4 is now released which has this capability. Note that in bash you'll need to quote the argument to prevent the shell from doing the globbing.

Hi @jblaine_9526,

Good idea, we'll add this!

That's a display issue in pgutil. It's not supposed to show the build number as part of the version at all, so we'll fix that. Note that we do include the build as part of the tag, but the actual release title on GitHub is just 2.1.1, 2.0.6, etc. Thanks for reporting this!

Looks like I had misunderstood the exact problem. One related issue was already fixed in 2024.25, but the aggregation issue with one connector having a package and another not having it was not. I have confirmed that both will be fixed in today's release of 2024.26, along with that Invalid Feed Type error.

Sorry for the confusion!

Hi Scott,

This fix will be included in tomorrow's release (2024.4).

Thanks!

Unfortunately it turns out that this is more complicated than we expected. You are correct about it being normalization-related. When packages are added to ProGet, essential identifying metadata like name and version get indexed in the database, and versions are supposed to be normalized when used this way. However, it looks like this normalization is not occurring for Conda packages.

We don't want to just do the obvious fix and start normalizing them, as that could lead to duplicate packages getting added and issues with replication. So, what we propose to do is extend our feed re-index operation to detect nonnormalized versions and fix, and then start normalizing versions consistently.

Long story short - it's not going in tomorrow's release, but we have a plan to get it fixed.

Hi @kc_2466,

I can't reproduce this in ProGet 2024.25. Is it possible you are using a prerelease version? It should report ProGet 2024.25 Build 11 in the page footer.

I'm confirming because this was fixed across all feeds as a relatively late commit before the release.

Thanks!
-Greg

We've added both of these properties to the index - you should see them in this week's release of 2024.26 on Friday. Thanks for the feature request!

We're still investigating this one, but we'll likely have a fix for it in ProGet 2024.26 this Friday, but if it ends up being more complex than we are expecting, it could be in the following release later this month. Thank you!

Hi, thanks for reporting this! I've reproduced it and we'll have a fix in ProGet 2024.26, which is scheduled for release on Friday.

@kc_2466 Thanks for reporting these issues! They turned out to be trivial to fix, so we are able to include them as PG-2879 and PG-2880 in today's 2024.25 release.

Hi @kc_2466,

Looks like download uses an API we haven't implemented. Didn't expect that it would use a different mechanism from install! I don't think we'll get a fix for this in tomorrow's release, but I'll schedule it for the following on Feb. 7 (should be v2024.26).

Thanks!

Hi @it4it_9320,

That's about the size I'd expect for a connector to that index. So far, I can't get it to grow much beyond that - I'm wondering if this was caused by the transaction rollback after the constraint error happening over and over. In any case, we'll add an explicit VACCUUM after major updates that ought to prevent the index from expanding again.

-Greg

Hi @it4it_9320,

I've confirmed that the constraint violation issue will be fixed in this Friday's release of ProGet 2024.21.

Regarding the other issue about growing indexes, which remote repository are you seeing this with? Is it the same one that exhibited the constraint error? In all of my testing, the sqlite index is usually in the range of 2-10MB - it's nothing more than the contents of the Packages index file.

-Greg

Hi @Scati

Working with package qualifiers and purls is a little confusing with the API because they are already in a URL encoded query string format and you have to encode them again to be passed in through the API url. If you url encode what you are passing in to purl= then it should work:

https://serverip/api/packages/unstable-lin/delete?purl=pkg%3Adeb%2Fscatinat%407.2.2.0-1%3Farch%3Damd64%26component%3Dscati%26distro%3Djammy

The complexity of dealing with these is the reason we added all of the extra arguments and handling in pgutil to build these qualifiers out more easily.

Hope this helps!
-Greg

Hi Caterina,

pgutil does have the capability to do this if you use the builds sbom command. Apparently this command is hidden from the command list for some reason, but if you run pgutil builds sbom --help it should still show the options for it.

Does this help?
-Greg

Thanks @russell_8876! I've gone ahead and released pgutil 1.1.6 with a fix for this. Give it a try and let us know if it's still not working.

-Greg

Hi @caterina,

You are not overlooking anything, but we did :). We're still in the process of finalizing the commandsets for builds and projects - what we have in there now is something of a placeholder. I'll make sure we get that flag in the finalized version. We plan to have them done by early next week at the latest.

Thanks!
-Greg

Hi @Darren-Gipson_6156,

It looks like we hadn't published the latest version of inedoxpack to nuget.org. I've now published it manually, so if you run dotnet tool update inedo.extensionpackager, it should update to v1.0.7, which will be able to build the extension.

Sorry about that!

Hi @daniel-scati,

I've logged (and fixed) the duplicate versions issue as PG-2686, and that will be included in today's release (ProGet 2024.4).

Regarding the delete command, I've gotten it working using this command:

pgutil packages delete --source=scati --feed=stable --package="pacomalarmprocessor" --version=7.2.1.0-1 --qualifier="arch=amd64&component=scati&distro=bionic"

The only change I made was to put in the full version string instead of just 7.2.1.

Agreed on it being confusing that it succeeds even if the package wasn't found. That was one of those things that made sense in specification (why should I care if the package I want to delete doesn't exist?) but in practice it just hides an error. I think we'll eventually change this API to return an indication that something was actually deleted.

Hope this helps!

Hi @philippe-camelio_3885,

I've tried to reproduce this and I think the issue is that your variable is using JSON array notation instead of otterscript. So, it should be:

@(%(Nom:"Carbon",Version:"2.15.1"),...

It seems to work for me when I format it that way. Does this help?

Hi @artur-wisniowski_4029,

We'll get this fixed, but it's unlikely to be in this week's release. ProGet hashs the complete package file for every package uploaded to it, while the APK spec says to hash only over a certain tar segment of the package. We've been returning ProGet's hash of the package file as the checksum and this is incorrect as you've noted.

We'll post here again when we have a fix date, but I'd expect it will be either next week or the week after.

Thanks!

Hi @pbinnell_2355,

Looks like the example code was incorrect. I've updated it. When a dotnet tool is installed globally, you run it by just running the tool name directly, so pgutil instead of dotnet pgutil

Hope this help!
-Greg

Great to hear! Thanks for the followup

Hi @dan-brown_0128,

I've done some more research on this, and per the spec we definitely should not be url encoding anything in the Filename field: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianRepository/Format#Filename

I've filed this as PG-2591. It's an easy change, so we'll include it in this week's release on Friday. It still is strange that I couldn't reproduce this, but hopefully this will resolve the issue for you and anyone else that is seeing this.

Good find!

I did my testing against unixodbc-common_2.3.11-2+deb12u1_all.deb, and oddly everything worked- I wonder if this behavior varies in different versions of apt?

Anyway, we should change ProGet to match the Debian index behavior, so I will file this as a bug.

Hi @dan-brown_0128 , @stevedennis

I had that thought too, and I made sure caching was enabled when I tried to reproduce this. I have some more ideas for trying to recreate this today - hopefully with more luck this time.

Hi @mlorenzschleipen_5169,

Just wanted to let you know that May 1 was a typo - the release date is actually March 1, so a lot sooner :)

-Greg

Hi @dan-brown_0128,

I've tried to reproduce this both inside of Docker and on a clean bookworm vm, and haven't had any luck. It works for me whether the package has been pulled to ProGet or not, no matter how many times I try. Unfortunately I don't have any ideas what might be happening here.

-Greg

Hi @dan-brown_0128,

That is odd! We'll see if we can reproduce it and let you know what we find.

-Greg

Hi @dan-brown_0128,

I would try increasing the timeout period in the connector settings to see if that helps. Are you running ProGet on Windows or Docker/Linux?

Hi @daniel-scati,

Thanks for reporting these. We've fixed the documentation issues, and will have the integration instructions corrected in the next release (v2023.30 as PG-2585).

Regarding the apt-key deprecation, we were aware of that when redoing Debian for v2023.22, but at the time it didn't look like there was any kind of consensus for how to handle trusting a third-party repository, and nearly all other repos we looked at still only gave instructions for using apt-key. We're happy to reevaluate this if there is a better solution available.

-Greg

Hi @caterina,

Microsoft is confusing on this subject - they refer to the old format as legacy sometimes (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/create-packages/symbol-packages) but other times they just imply it's not preferred. Our documentation and the software itself is usually based on the language they used at the time we drafted the feature. I suspect we are just leaning more into the "legacy/deprecated" terminology than they are right now.

In any case, we have no plans to remove support for the symbol package format or anything. Is the problem that we are missing the "Download with Symbols" link now? I can file that as a bug if that's the case.

Hope this helps!
-Greg

Have you had any success deleting these after retagging? We haven't been able to reproduce this so far.

Hi @gunmaden,

Thanks for reporting this! I've filed it for investigation as PG-2519.

Hi @gunmaden,

Right now there is no way to delete a Maven package using an API, but I can put that in as a feature request.

Regarding Python, you have to know the package file name to delete it, and pass it in as part of the qualifer, for example: qualifier=filename%3Dmypackage.1.0.0.tgz

For Debian, the url query string should look like this:

name={name}&version={version}&group={component}&qualifier=arch%3Damd64

Does this help?

-Greg
