[arch-mirrors] [Action Required] Leftover .~tmp~ directories with rsync 3.2.0 - 3.2.3
by Evangelos Foutras 29 Jul '21

29 Jul '21

Dear mirror admins, Due to a bug in rsync versions 3.2.0 to 3.2.3 (inclusive), the use of --delay-updates can leave behind .~tmp~ directories containing updated files that never make it out of the temporary location. [1] This issue has led to outdated repo databases and lastupdate files in the past. Last year, the syncrepo-template.sh script (linked from the wiki [2]) was updated to remove any existing .~tmp~ directories before calling rsync. This workaround is needed if you use rsync 3.2.0 - 3.2.3. Arch's rsync 3.2.3-4 package has been patched for this problem so the workaround is not required for mirrors running on Arch. The syncrepo-template.sh script was just updated again to replace --delete-after with --delete-delay (as a performance optimization) and to stop using a temporary directory for file transfers. The exact commits (with accompanying commit messages) can be found at [3] (ignore the first and last commit which are specific to Arch's infra). To avoid having mirrors with stale repositories because of the .~tmp~ issue, please rebase your syncrepo script to match the latest version of the template obtained through the link in the wiki. If you don't use rsync 3.2.0 - 3.2.3 (or use Arch's patched version), feel free to comment out the .~tmp~ workaround. Cheers, Arch DevOps [1] https://github.com/WayneD/rsync/issues/192 [2] https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:NewMirrors [3] https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/infrastructure/-/merge_requests/471/…

Hi, The tier 1 mirror uk2.net has been disabled due to being out of date and due to the absence of communication from the uk2.net administrator. All tier 2 mirrors that are currently/still using uk2.net as their upstream, please switch to a different tier 1 mirror from this list: https://archlinux.org/mirrors/tier/1/ If any of the uk2.net mirror administrators happen to see this message, please get in touch with me via mirrors(a)archlinux.org.
