hello,
running abs alone doesn't upgrade the community repo, though in my abs.conf:
root@freedomfighter:/var/abs # cat /etc/abs.conf
#
# /etc/abs/abs.conf
## the top-level directory of all your PKGBUILDs
[ "$ABSROOT" = "" ] && ABSROOT="/var/abs/"#
# Server to sync from
#
SYNCSERVER="rsync.archlinux.org"#
# The architecture to fetch abs for
# Either i686 or x86_64
#
ARCH="i686"#
# REPOS to be parsed by abs (in this order)
# (prefix a repo with a ! to disable it)
#
# Note: If a repo is removed, it is still fetched!
# Repos must be preceded with a ! to prevent fetching
#
REPOS=(core extra community !unstable !testing)
running
abs community
syncs testing and unstable?

It will be fixed soon...

yep, thanks.

I'm behind a very restrictive firewall (which I can't alter in any way)
While abs was using csup, everything worked just fine.
Now with rsync I can't checkout anything.
It hangs for few minutes with "Starting ABS sync..." then throws "failed to connect to rsync.archlinux.org: connection timed out (110)"
Any thoughts?

rsync uses a different port.
i believe cvsupd uses tcp port 5999.
rsync uses tcp port 873.

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

wait for next abs release. it will probably move to extra too. which is a better place for it

heh? move to extra?? why? isn't "ABS - The Arch Build System" one of the _core_ components of arch?
abs is imo as important as pacman. the idea is to encourage people to use abs, if they don´t like things the way they are.
then there will be no tedious discussions about this feature or that feature or out-of-date or similar (at least i hope so).
to neglect abs is a turn in the wrong direction.

Knowing this doesn't help me at all.
I still can't use abs because I can't change anything on firewall i'm behind (I don't even know where that firewall is, i only know it exists and is VERY restrictive)
Is there any other way to synchronize to repositories? like once in a while a "wget -r -np" on some url? or anything that uses more-or-less standard ports ?
Or maybe push a package "abs-tree" or something, generated every time repositories change, for users like me?
Later edit:
As far as I know abs tree is not quite pure SVN, it's generated from SVN in a form which is accepted by abs. This way it's not hard to also generate a package which contains current snapshot of abs tree. I think that it's pretty elegant solution.
It probably shouldn't be pushed to repositories on EVERY update, but let say once in few days (or even a week) would be great.
You even may simply upload it somewhere on webserver (without including in repositories) and put a link

ABS is important, however as one of devs said is chicken-egg problem:
In order to use abs, you need an up & running arch installation with network access. If you have it, you can just "pacman -S abs", and continue from there.
Right now abs is not installed by default, so you need to install it anyway.
