[arch-general] did kdemod-legacy repo go away?
Guys, I must have missed a note advising that the kdemod-legacy repo was removed from the pacman repos. Every time I update I get the following error: error: failed retrieving file 'kdemod-legacy.db.tar.gz' from chakra-project.org : Not Found error: failed to update kdemod-legacy (Not Found) So is it true? Is it gone for good? If so, it would be a sad epitaph on the desktops head-stone. ("Killed at its prime") Currently,(at least before 2 days ago) kdemod-legacy installed perfectly with the only updates required being libjpeg, libpng and poppler-qt3 - all available at AUR and with it taking less than 1.7G of static space on a drive, seems like it would make Arch a much more robust distro to continue the offering and list is as an asset rather than having an empty check mark in the "KDE3 available" column.

Oh, David With all due respect, I think you have a memory problem. =D We told you several times that KDEmod is not a part of the official Arch Linux repo. It belongs to the chakra-project. Therefore, you should check their website for news at http://chakra-project.org/news/ And it is there. Cheers, -- Guilherme M.

It is a side-effect of parenthood :p

OK thanks, that's all I needed. I've got a local copy. I agree with it not be part of the "Official Arch" since it isn't maintained or supported. I added a sentence or two to the Archwiki KDE page that provides the needed info for anyone looking for it.
Cheers,

I don't know the official scoop. But I saw this happen the other day too, and after poking around I discovered that the mirror I use (RIT) had the packages in an "archives" directory: [kdemod-legacy] Server = http://mirror.rit.edu/kdemod/archive/kdemod-legacy/x86_64 That said, though, I think it's fair to say that you shouldn't count on these KDE3 packages being around - or working - for much longer. (Unless the Trinity project starts to make significant progress / traction soon.) HTH, DR
