[solved] Proper KDEmod3 repository

What is the proper repository for kdemod3?

The current wiki page (Feb 19, 2009) shows the following repository (No X-64 specific repository):

# KDEmod 3
[kdemod-legacy]
Server = http://mirror.rit.edu/kdemod/legacy/i686

Digging thru my notes, I found the following repository:

#kdemod X86-64
[kdemod-legacy]
Server =  http://kdemod.ath.cx/repo/legacy/x86_64

Without going into details, using the wiki repository, messed up both my main Arch64 partition and a fresh Arch64 backup sytem using ext4.  Chakra's web page only showed kdemod3 packages and not a repository for future updates. 

After restoring a very recent image of my primary Arch partition, I was able to update it using the second repository without any problems.  I was also successful in installing kdemod3-base on the fresh Arch partition without any problems.

I was just curious if the wiki is wrong (at least for X_64), or just left out the X_64 repository. or whether I'm missing something very obvious that will get me flamed as in RTFWiki more CAREFULLY!

I think it goes without saying that you're not supposed to use an i686 repo on an x86_64 machine, or more generally, that there are certain variable parts in a repo URL.

It was understood, thats why my post asked if the x86_64 repository was just left out of the wiki.

or more generally, that there are certain variable parts in a repo URL.

I try to avoid assumptions, but replacing  the i686  with x86_64 in the wiki repository does seem to work.  I can't tell because the system was up to date.  I guess there are times when you have to make assumptions.

Re: [solved] Proper KDEmod3 repository

well as chakra has its own wiki and even has a detailed install guide that mentions both repositories i cant see the problem here.

Apart from that... if its missing in the wiki, correct it
