No default repositories in Maintenance Tool

[phil69]

Hi,
when I start MaintenanceTool.exe (Windows 7, Qt 5.1.1, MinGW 4.8), all I can do with it is remove all components. For the package manager or updates, I need a repository. The "Default repositories" entry is empty, and I don't know what to enter in temporary or user repositories. I've looked around a bit on your website and googled, but could not find anything.
Where can I find a list of Qt repository URLs?

I have a similar problem - I haven't been able to find the default paths yet and I'm reluctant to reinstall over a working system.

Does anyone know where the repos are please?

My workaround:

(i) Download Qt online installer "Qt Project Downloads":http://qt-project.org/downloads
(ii) Create a dummy installation directory (e.g. c:\temp\QtTemp)
(iii) try and install only those components you're interested in to this directory (in my case just the Android components)
(iv) copy the new components across to the location it would have been in had the maintenance tool been working (e.g. C:\Qt\Qt5.1.1)

Not ideal, but seems to have worked for my specific case.

Paths for repository are these, but I am not sure which ones are used for:

http://download.qt-project.org/

I solved this issue by add the following url as a repository (in settings):
http://download.qt-project.org/online/qt5/windows/x86/online_repository/

Just leave the username and password empty :-)

Great!
I also added android repository which you can guess but i'll give it for not wasting time:

http://download.qt-project.org/online/qt5/windows/x86_android/online_repository/

It seems to be a problem of the Maintenance Tool itself.

To solve it, I added "User Defined Repositories" in "Settings" as following

• Username + Password: leave blank
• Repository: http://download.qt.io/online/qt5/mac/x64/online_repository/
  Note In my case, I'm using 64bit Mac, so I used the repo URL above, you can find out other URL by going to the url above (using browser) and go up "Parent Directory" to find out URLs for other environments (e.g. windows, linux etc)
• After setting repository, you run "Update components"
• Now it will detect that there is newer version of "Maintenance Tool", update it and restart the "Maintenance Tool"
• Now, "Default Repositories" will be populated with correct values.

I solved it by removing the maintenancetool.ini file next to MaintenanceTool.exe. After the next update it created a new .ini file with default settings.

Using the steps mentioned above but with the following repository address worked for me.

• http://download.qt.io/online/qtsdkrepository/windows_x86/root/qt/

If you have a working install somewhere which does have the repos, you can copy the DefaultRepositories=<lots of encoded data> setting from MaintenanceTool.ini to the other ini file. Now when you start the tool it should have the repositories.

For MaintenceTool on Ubuntu 16.10 LTS works http://download.qt.io/online/qtsdkrepository/linux_x64/root/qt/

@ikyb I am facing the same problem and tried the repository you suggested. but, its not working at my end. Can you suggest any other working repository or some solution to solve this issue.

In 2022 the maintenance tool still doesn't come with repositories.

@jondoe420 said in No default repositories in Maintenance Tool:

It does for me.

How did you install Qt? The MaintenanceTool repositories are for the Online installers, not the Offline installers.
