Panamax doesn't handle self-updates about panamax

[panzerballett]

hi!

i just started using panamax and it works perfectly well! thanks a lot!

but the issue about self-updates of rustup... are there any plans to mirror the necessary files as well? or is there tool that would do just that?

thanks anyway and best regards!

So I would like to mirror these files, but I'm not sure what all needs to be grabbed from the crates.io mirrors, how to discover said files, etc.

I'll try to ask on the Rust discord to see if anyone else knows, unless someone from @rust-lang can chime in who knows the architecture of crates.io better than I do.

For the time being, you should be able to re-download and run the rustup-init, and it'll act the same (it'll update the existing rustup, rather than replacing anything).

thanks a lot for your reply!

the error message i get (i.e. the file rustup wants to access first) is:

$ rustup update
...
info: downloading self-update
error: could not download file from 'http://panamax.internal/rustup/archive/1.20.2/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/rustup-init' to '/home/rust_user/.cargo/rustup-init'

(where i changed my internal server back to your http://panamax.internal/rustup/ to make it correspond to your example setting).

so it seems rustup/archive needs to be mirrored as well (it is not with my current settings).

Right, makes sense. Unfortunately I'm not sure how exactly to mirror the rustup/archive directory, as there's no listing.

I've added code to create and update the archive directory whenever rustup is updated, so hopefully this won't be a problem anymore.
