[arch-general] arch rollback machine
Hi, Does anyone know what is happening with Arch Rollback Machine? The server (arm.konnichi.com) has been unavailable for more than a week now, and I'm depending on it to keep an offline machine up to date... Greetings, lieven

That's a shame, do we know why? -- :wq!

Well, it is quite clearly explained in the link that was referenced earlier in this thread...

Yeah, obviously my message got through the moderation filter slower than the message with the link in it. Calm down. -- Sent from Meah

Reading through the thread I see there was some initial conversations to start a similar service, I would be interested as well and happy to help set up something like that. -- Caution: breathing may be hazardous to your health. #include <stdio.h> int main(){printf("%s","\x4c\x65\x6f\x6e\x69\x64\x61\x73");}

I have a copy of the last abs before arch switched to gnome3... I use it to build the gnome2 in the kernels 3.10 Yes, some people still likes the old gnome2 with new libreoffice, firefox23, java7, eclipse...

You may want to consider using Mate. They are doing a good job imho. They have a Arch Linux repo, and it can be installed side by side with Gnome 3. The one component that is missing though is a display manager. http://wiki.mate-desktop.org/archlinux_custom_repo

That is so sad... Can't we join in some kind of subscription plan, to pay for the necessary hard disk space, and run arm on the official arch servers? Apart from all the possible uses of arm now, I feel there is also a duty to preserve once's history, especially in an age where everything has become disposable... And who knows, in future, a repository like arm might even become an object of scientific research... greetings, lieven
I run 3 colos and I would be happy to provide hardware and bandwidth. It's not a service I would use but if someone was interested in maintaining, I could probably have a dual core box with 1tb raid-1 storage and bandwidth online in short order. If someone wants to put together a maintenance team and ping me I could get everything going for them. -- Pete On Aug 23, 2013 3:35 PM, "Lieven Moors" <lievenmoors@gmail.com> wrote:

It seems a new arch rollback machine has already been set up: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1316259#p1316259

It seems that way. And it sounds like they will be getting it tuned up so anyone can host a mirror. For those of you that contacted me, I think your effort should be put toward that team. Then once everything is set up, if the project is in need of mirrors, feel free to contact me. -- Pete

Peter obviously had something useful to contribute to this list. Now, wishing that you were on the team gets nothing done. Either send Peter your sysadmin resume, discuss organization issues here, or get your hands dirty actually doing something useful... -- Gaetan

Hello, I setup an ARM-like on one server. You can access it at: http://seblu.net/a/arm/. I created the following tree (don't remember former hierarchy, but seems compatible) # tree -L 3 ├── 2013 │ ├── 08 │ │ └── 31 │ └── 09 │ ├── 01 │ ├── ... │ └── 05 ├── last -> 2013/09/05 └── month -> 2013/09/01 The sync is done everyday at 12h21 CEST, and pooled with hardlink (I don't trust btrfs snapshot). The `last' symlink points to the last successful sync. The `month' symlink points to the first sync of the month. This can help people wanting a slower rolling distro.

Nice but this means adding your ARM-like server as a fallback server in one mirror list won't work. I was using this when I cannot do a full system update on a server. It allows to keep an outdated version of the repo db and install "new" (ie uninstalled not latest) packages even if the version in the local db is older than the one currently in the repo. Pointing to a daily snapshot wont work either as packages updates happens between repo db sync and your snapshot. The only solution would be to use your server as unique mirror.

I added a new *packages* tree. That offer an easy access to all versions of the same package in the ARM. Documentation[1] has been updated. [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?title=ARM -- Sébastien "Seblu" Luttringer https://www.seblu.net GPG: 0x2072D77A
