[arch-general] No updates in past week or so - my update problem or just no updates?
Listmates, I have several boxes running arch. In the past week or so, I haven't had any updates. Is it my system not updating or have there been relatively few updates? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Hi David,
I have several boxes running arch. In the past week or so, I haven't had any updates. Is it my system not updating or have there been relatively few updates?
I noticed the same thing. Quite a few of the mirrors were out of date for some reason. I changed to a mirror that was updating as my chosen mirror was 3-4 days out of sync. You can check mirror status at: http://users.archlinux.de/~gerbra/mirrorcheck.html Regards, Mike
i'd guess a mirror issue, no updates on arch in a week? never. i'd pick a new mirror and go -Syyu. luckily i've got IRC in the next terminal... 19:44 <brisbin33> !mirrorcheck 19:44 <phrik> see the status of mirrors: http://users.archlinux.de/~gerbra/mirrorcheck.html <> http://www.archlinux.de/?page=MirrorStatus those should help you find a good mirror. cheers.

I've noticed that a lot of the mirrors I've been using have been having keeping in sync over the past couple of months. If I wanted to even install a package, I would have to set my mirrorslist to one of the more current ones, sync then install... but I can't always guarantee that I can connect to those mirrors. We know Arch is the most up to date (oswatershed.org), but what's wrong with the mirrors? On Wed, Jul 22, 2009 at 8:45 PM, Patrick Brisbin<pbrisbin@gmail.com> wrote:

should really proof read what I write... meant to say that a lot of the mirrors that I've been using have been having trouble keeping in sync On Thu, Jul 23, 2009 at 11:44 AM, Will Siddall<will.siddall@gmail.com> wrote:

For US people, I've been happy with both the freshness and the speed of locke.suu.edu. On Thu, Jul 23, 2009 at 10:46 AM, Will Siddall <will.siddall@gmail.com>wrote:

The RIT mirror is down. Switch to a new one - e.g.: Server = http://www.schlunix.org/archlinux/$repo/os/x86_64 HTH, DR

Actually, let me rephrase that: it's not down. It just hadn't been updating recently. According to the mirrorcheck page, though, it looks like it might be back now. http://users.archlinux.de/~gerbra/mirrorcheck.html DR

Thanks DR, all, I finally got a full update for both x86_64 and x86. Just felt strange having pacman -Syu come back with "Up to date" so many times in a row. After the updates, things are running good (minus the usual rats to kill) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
