[arch-mirrors] Changes to archmirror.lavatech.top
by Ave 13 Feb '20

13 Feb '20

Hello, I'm the sysadmin of archmirror.lavatech.top. I moved archmirror.lavatech.top's rsync source to mirror.pseudoform.org as f4st.host seems to be having issues (it didn't get updates in ~9 days) and is giving 502 on the main page. -Ave Ozkal

[arch-mirrors] Change of contact email for mirrors.uk2.net
by David Precious 26 Jul '19

26 Jul '19

Hi, I'm the chap responsible for mirrors.uk2.net, but the email address you will have on record for our Arch mirror is likely mirrors(a)uk2.net which is no longer active due to a restructuring of our mail. Please update your records to replace mirrors(a)uk2.net with my work address, david.precious(a)uk2group.com in case you need to reach me (although I'm subscribed to the arch-mirrors list with my personal email address anyway). Many thanks Dave P

[arch-mirrors] mirror.lty.me out of sync
by Michael Hoenack 26 Jul '19

26 Jul '19

Hi, Arch newbie here, but encountered a confusing issue. It seems that mirror.lty.me is badly out of sync. Weirdly enough, https://www.archlinux.org/mirrors/status/ is showing that the mirror is up to date, and syncing every 2 minutes. Unfortunately, it is a really fast mirror, so reflector is ranking as the first mirror in the /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist for me, so anyone who is not paying attention is getting locked out of updates. Seems like it has been out of date for a while too, as this thread had a person with 120 packages in need of an upgrade! https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/chjohu/lack_of_updates_caused_b… I'm sure you know, but you can test this by putting mirror.lty.me at the top of the /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist and then running pacman -Syyu, and it will have a ton of errors like this: warning: ark: local (19.04.3-1) is newer than extra (19.04.2-1) I'm just confused how https://www.archlinux.org/mirrors/status/ isn't recognizing that this mirror is out of date!

Hi, Just for your information: I am the admin of mirror.chaoticum.net. There are several downtimes of mirror.chaoticum.net --> https://www.archlinux.org/mirrors/chaoticum.net/ The reason is, that i migrated parts of system from harddisk to SSD for better access and response times and reduce the io load from harddisks. Now i finshed my work and uptime will be at 100% with better responsetimes in future. Regards Andi Pfister

[arch-mirrors] lug.mtu.edu not updating properly
by Joshua Hoffer 15 Jul '19

15 Jul '19

I run a local mirror for a university off of the lug.mtu.edu tier 1 mirror and noticed that it's multilib database hasn't been updated since 2019/03/31. There seems to be other issues as well. You can see the issue here: http://mirrors.lug.mtu.edu/archlinux/multilib/os/x86_64/ compared to a working mirror: https://mirrors.rit.edu/archlinux/multilib/os/x86_64/ The mirror seems to be downloading new packages but it is also keeping old packages (or possibly just broken symlinks?) and not updating their database files. I'm not sure what is wrong exactly, if their rsync config was changed, etc but it seems currently the mirror is broken/out-of-sync. I've sent an email to the mirror operator directly but I wanted to also inform the mailing list in case any tier 2 mirrors are using this mirror. - Josh Hoffer

by Luchesar V. ILIEV 08 Jul '19

Hi! Does anyone know what's the problem with archlinux.polymorf.fr? They are already more than 3 days behind in updates. In the meantime, I've switched mirrors.uni-plovdiv.net to ftp.sh.cvut.cz Cheers, Luchesar
