Hey,

I recently installed KaOS and everything has been working quite well so far. After installing I performed a full system update (pacman -Syy and pacman -Syu) with no issues, upgrading almost 500 packages I think.

Now when I try to update my system again, (again with pacman -Syy and pacman -Syu) I have a lot of packages that are newer versions than what is available in the repos.

A few examples from the many warnings:

warning: kded: local (5.10.0-1) is newer than apps (5.9.0-1)

warning: kdelibs: local (4.14.8-2) is newer than apps (4.14.7-2)

It's not only the "apps" repository but also packages from "main" and "core".

This is my first time with a distro using pacman so I might be missing something obvious here.

Since an hour or so it's the same here. A couple of hours ago all went fine with pacman -Syu.

Nevertheless: is the build repository enabled in your /etc/pacman.conf?

Whenever you see that, make sure to check your mirror. Open Octopi, it will automatically run a mirror-check, or check manually:

mirror-check

If it returns your mirror is not synced, open your mirrorlist:

kdesu kate /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Paste it here, and place a # in fornt of the first used mirror, then pacman -Syu again.

I need to know which mirror seems to be down.

EDIT:

Found it, is stuck at May 4, make sure to comment that one out until it is fixed/syncing again.

First mirror is

# Germany

Server =

After disabling this mirror updating goes fine.

Hi,

It's sadly, my first post on these forums, pacman's bell is ringing, it seems the European mirror used by our beloved pacman ruler, has some problems to sync, I just see old packages since... I don't know exacly but I realized this yesterday same hour~, so at least 24h 's late...

So just comment out the first server in your /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Or you can also, be evil as a disney dwarf and run this command to do it one shot!

sed '/layerjet.com/ s/^/#/' /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

This will simply add a '#' symbol in front of the faulty line... Make a backup of your mirrorlist, in case of... And replace the faulty file.

Once this done, you can as usual open octopi or run pacman -Suyy to get your updated packages

By the way anyone has an idea of how big is this repository in total? I may help a mirror in France. (a partial one maybe in worst case?...)

PS: These pkg coming at 100k/o here, maybe the problem is also coming from the master mirrors? (that would explain the European's one problem a little bit...)

MODERATOR NOTE:

Merging with existing topic, pacman issue, not a News & Announcement

Ok, checking this thread, and followed directions. Now when checking the repositories it tells me that it has synced the repositories, whereas before was getting not synced messages mostly.

Bickies in tea :)

Thanks for the information demm.

By the way anyone has an idea of how big is this repository in total? I may help a mirror in France. (a partial one maybe in worst case?...)

I am also interested in providing a european repository mirror if there is any need.

Repos are under 10 Gb, usually around 7 Gb

A few more mirrors are very welcomed. Locations are now too stacked in the US (3).

Looking at this makes me think I could also mirror iso's or kcp's repositories?(I can offer something like around 50 or 100 Go for Kaos)

So can you send me informations to start the mirror process on my server? (I mean if there is any existing mirror script, a rsync address etc...)

I can run:Rsync

Ftp

Any wget or curl script of course...

Or should I write one myself?

The server is (for now, we also can add a new host or any web redirection?) accessible at this address:

http://mirrors.youm.org headers and footers, of course, should be removed in case it become an "official" server for Kaos...

In case you prefer not to write it here, you can send me information at mermouy (@t) openmailbox (dot) org or on my zerobin:

http://blog.youm.org/paste/

Thanks for doing this :)

I see you already have a KaOS dir up. To sync with that setup, all is needed is to run a (hourly?) cronjob with:

rsync -av --delete-after kaosx.us::kaos kaos

This will also sync the ISO, if you are with that, then it will be added as a second alternate location on the Download page.

KCP uses github not just as a server/mirror, github is the complete frontend for it (users regristration, issues handling, history tracking, discussion and so on). No plans to ever move away from github for KCP.

And to go back to the original thread, the layerjet mirror is fully syncing again.

You're welcome!

Mirror online! I'm adding a virtualhost at http://kaos.youm.org for easy access, say me if you want it to accept another hostname (in case you'll want to name mirrors like repo.kaos.fr or fr.kaos.us/repo etc...)

And to go back to the original thread, the layerjet mirror is fully syncing again.

Here the german mirror is not syncing yet!

And the mirror in Lille () returns error 404 (cannot load 'build.db' etc.):

fout:kan het bestand 'build.db' niet ophalen van kaos.youm.org : The requested URL returned error: 404

Mirror added at the virtual address:

New pacman-mirrorlist is up in the repo, will move shortly.

Please let me know how you'd like to be added in the sponsor page:

Seems your local database is stuck, both mirrors work fine here, make sure to use pacman -Syy on changing mirrors (after you have been on a bad mirror).

sudo pacman -Syy

You could for now put the kaos.youm.org at first in your /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist, as it is up-to-date; then run sudo pacman -Suyy

The german mirror is syncing correct now, but the one in Lille is still responding with the same error 404 message as above.

EDIT: Using 'pacman -Suyy' (instead of 'pacman -Syy') Lille is syncing correct now,

but,

there are still some issues:

Second EDIT:

after adding /$repo to the server name in Lille, all errors have gone.

is also up and configured with hourly sync from kaosx.us

The server is located in the Netherlands. It's good for 4TB of traffic a month which I think should be fine for KaOS at the moment?

The Dutch server is syncing fine.

Two new servers in one day, what a luxury!

Thanks!
