System won't upgrade with [gnome-unstable]

Hi.

I've added [gnome-unstable] to my /etc/pacman.conf file.
And I have upgrade gnome-deskop and gdm by running:

$ pacman -S gnome-unstable/gnome-desktop gnome-unstable/gnome-desktop

Of course I want gnome at 2.28 but when I do pacman -Syu it won't upgrade from [gnome-unstable]! It just say local version are newer than in [extra].

How you I make pacman upgrade from ALL repos? So I can upgrade ALL packages including those that may be newer in [gnome-unstable]?

Thanks,

Ben

pacman -Syu will upgrade packages from all repos in pacman.conf. However gnome 2.28 has been moved to extra (http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/ … 13851.html), so you should remove gnome-unstable from your pacman.conf.

Btw I don't think picking single packages from gnome-extra is  a good idea.

[gnome-unstable] needs to be above the [extra] repo in your pacman.conf.

Why not just wait 1 day. Its already been moved to [extra] as of 6 hours ago, just wait for your mirror to sync...

@op - if you want it now, check out the Mirrorcheck site and make sure that one of the recently sync'ed mirrors is the first one in your mirrorlist.
