[arch-general] package pages link to github (which is partly broken)
by Marcus Hoffmann 19 Oct '20

19 Oct '20

Hi, I just noticed the package pages linking to github, instead of https://git.archlinux.org/. So far, trying to view the commit history for any community package just resulted in a page with the message: > Sorry, this commit history is taking too long to generate See, i.e. here: https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-community/commits/master/element.io/t… I can find the package I'm interested in manually in https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/ but is there a better solution for this planned somehow?

[arch-general] Any arch-general changes since 9/24 -- I get no messages (but I see my messages in the archive)?
by David C. Rankin 14 Oct '20

14 Oct '20

Archdevs, Were there any mailing list changes since 9/24 that would explain why I no longer get any arch related messages delivered to my inbox? The last message I received was "Abuse of arch wiki" on 9/24. I see other messages in https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-general/ as well as the pacman suggestion I sent, but I get nothing on my end. Suddenlink ISP issue? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] Belated Arch-Conf pacman improvement suggestion
by David C. Rankin 12 Oct '20

12 Oct '20

Allan, While the pacman part of the conference is over, I just ran into an issue that would fit the pacman improvement segment. When updating, if on the first repo, the first mirror selected times-out, then mark that repo failed for the remaining repo checks so you don't sit through two more timeouts on a repo that is known failed at that point. If arch.mirror.constant.com was down yesterday, I could have made the segment :) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
