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 wrote:

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.

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?

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 wrote:

The RIT mirror is down. Switch to a new one - e.g.:

Server = http://www.schlunix.org/archlinux/$repo/os/x86_64

HTH,

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
