Hi,
Confirmed. Somehow the name of the ISO has changed.
But - correct me if I'm wrong! - the naming of the ISO file takes place in '/usr/local/bin/backupiso':
That is correct but before that occurs the first step is to download the original iso from the IPFire download site and it looks in that download site for an iso named ISO="ipfire-$IPFVER.$arch-full-core$COREVER.iso" which is fine for CU169 and earlier but CU170 has had the arch portion moved to a different location in the filename.
Either the new filename structure for the IPFire CU170 download has been changed accidentally or it has been done deliberately but forgotten to change the template in backup.pl etc.
Current is: ... ISO="ipfire-$IPFVER.$arch-full-core$COREVER.iso" ...
IMHO it could be sufficient to change this to: ... ISO="ipfire-$IPFVER-core$CORVER-$arch.iso"
Changing that would fix the problem but only if the change of the download filename on the IPFire server was changed deliberately.
As I see it - ${URL} is OK, but the name of the *file to download* (the ${ISO}-variable) changed - somehow...:
https://downloads.ipfire.org/releases/ipfire-2.x/2.27-core170/ipfire-2.27-co...
And ${ISO} is exactly the variable 'wget' needs (e.g):
Line 81 in 'backup.iso': ... wget --quiet -c ${URL}${ISO} ...
Line 84f: ... echo "Fetching ${URL}${ISO}.b2" wget --quiet -O ${ISO}.b2 ${URL}${ISO}.b2
$(ISO) has not been changed in backup.pl or backup.iso. It is still looking for a file named ipfire-$IPFVER.$arch-full-core$COREVER.iso which for CU170 would be
ipfire-2.27.x86_64-full-core170.iso
but on the CU170 download site the file is actually named
ipfire-2.27-core170-x86_64.iso so the word full is missing and the arch (x86_64 or aarch64) has moved to just before the .iso part. So wget will not find the file because the name on the download site will have changed.
Exactly.
I am not sure I am understanding the point you are making. Maybe I am confusing what you are saying.
No problem, we'll sort this out... ;-)
My understanding is that the name of the download file on the IPFire server has changed...
Exactly. "Something" was changed during ISO-creation. On my devels the final Core170-ISOs got new names, too. But why!?
and nothing has changed in backup.pl/backup.iso but my understanding is that you think something has changed in backup.iso and that is the cause of the problem.
No.
Am I misunderstanding you?
Perhaps. A bit...;-)
I was misunderstanding you. We were actually saying the same thing.
I also missed that you were saying the build ISO name had changed. I went and had a look at my recent build and found exactly what you said.
:-)
I had a look through make.sh and eventually figured out that it was the cdrom package that was modified by Michael to make the iso and image filenames more aligned.
Oh my. I never thought of searching there. I must have overlooked this commit somehow.
https://git.ipfire.org/?p=ipfire-2.x.git;a=commit;h=fbd0608c2cb5372fff785706...
So the change was deliberately done but backup.pl etc was missed.
Yep.
Thanks for your help in figuring it out.
No problem. Had fun... ;-)
I will create a patch to fix backup for CU171.
IMHO patching 'backup.iso' could perhaps be the easiest way. YMMV.
Best, Matthias
Regards, Adolf.
What I mean: *nothing* has changed in 'backup.iso' but *needs* to be changed so the download works again. Could be the easiest way.
OR: change the ISO naming conventions - read: the way the ISO are named. But where is this done!?
What I didn't find yet: what process or code line(s) is(are) responsible for the new names. And I just can't find anything responsible in 'backup.pl'. Perhaps some args have changed. But where!?
Best, Matthias
Regards,
Adolf.
...
Or do I miss something? [(Brett vorm Kopf!?)]
Best, Matthias
Regards, Adolf.

I haven't searched for other occurences yet, but I think that could be the culprit...
