Embarcadero has rebuild the GetIt server for RAD Studio 12. Packages are available. Patch 1 is also online.
See these two separate blog post announcements for more details:
https://blogs.embarcadero.com/rad-studio-12-athens-patch-1-available/
Getting it back and hosted on AWS was fairly intensive work
A new build of RAD Studio 12 has been release, see more information at https://blogs.embarcadero.com/getit-update-rad-studio-12-getit-online-installation-is-now-available/
Great to hear about the patch. You probably already know this, but just in case: Every time I try to load a page on this blog (blog.marcocantu.com), there is roughly a 50% risk of Firefox refusing to show the page due to some certificate issue. Firefox complains about a SEC_ERROR_EXPIRED_CERTIFICATE error and claims that your certificate expired on 2024-01-30.
I saw the certificate error. It's odd, because it's intermittent. Seems that Apache is returning the old certificate or the updated one, randomly. I'll reboot it to see if it works, but the new certificate is in place...
The quality portal is down or I'd post there. The install of patch 1 is failing on my machine. It offers to "ignore patch" or "install" but when I click install it says "Are you sure you want to cancel the installation of RAD Studio 12 Patch 1?" and then it doesn't matter which button I press, Yes or No. Restarting Delphi did not help.
Marco, please make it possible to download all the getit packages from the hi so it’s possible to do a later installation of a build environment (the GetIt packages allow only to download the latest versions)
Patch 1 cannot be found in MyEmbarcadero Downloads and cannot be installed manually.
I believe some Styles rolled back to 1.0 For example Windows10BlackPearl Windows10ClearSky ans MaterialPattrensBlue where all 3 available in 2.0 with Hight DPI enabled with Delphi 11 You can spot them by size 2.0 versions are 3 times bigger, 150k instead of 50k for a 1.0 version
When I try to install AsyncPro 2024.02, VirtualTree 2024.02, or SynEdit 2024.02 via GetIt in Delphi 12.0 Patch 1, the process somehow manages to corrupt the DPK files. It changes "requires" to "rrequires", "contains" to "ocontains", and "end." to "d." All the .dpk and project files also have Unix LF line endings. I get this in the Messages window: "SynEditDR.dpk(1): Line endings were inconsistent and have been converted to CRLF. "SynEditDD.dpk(1): Line endings are LF, but RAD Studio requires CRLF. Consider converting or check your source control settings." Maybe Delphi trying to read Unix text files it doesn't support is what leads to the file corruption. Given that the problem may well be as simple as the compiler will corrupt .DPKs which have LF line endings, why are the GetIt servers not detecting this issue in packages in the first place? Broken packages shouldn't be offered for download. Does GetIt do no validation and reporting on broken packages on the server side? For this particular problem, GetIt could even automatically fix the .DPKs both on the server side and on the client side. .DPK corruption problem appears to have existed since at least 2005: http://www.delphigroups.info/2/9/691424.html
