[SOLVED] svntogit/packages.git is empty

I just noticed that https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git appears to be empty. Presumably this is for a reason and normal service will be restored soon. I thought I'd flag it just in case that isn't why...

Just checked again; that URL's ok. I normally use this URL to get a pacman.conf:

https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit … ges/pacman

It's just started returning an empty file.

Actually, as I typed the above, that's started working again

If I could delete this thread I would. I'll mark as solved.

Re: [SOLVED] svntogit/packages.git is empty

It isn't working again (I'll remove SOLVED from the title). Can anyone explain why this would seem to frequently not work these days...?

https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit … ges/pacman

Is there another preferred way to obtain a current pacman.conf that should be used instead ?

Re: [SOLVED] svntogit/packages.git is empty

If you have the latest pacman package in your cache, you can extract the pacman.conf with tar. e.g.

tar xfO /var/cache/pacman/pkg/pacman-4.0.3-7-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz etc/pacman.conf > pacman.conf

Re: [SOLVED] svntogit/packages.git is empty

The svn2git is nice but often lagged.  Pull the svn yourself.  See my getpkg function which will diff the trunk version against the core/extra/community version so you can see the changes.  Comment out those lines to simply pull the package of interest.

Re: [SOLVED] svntogit/packages.git is empty

thanks @graysky. after looking at your getpkg function I settled on doing this:

svn export svn://svn.archlinux.org/packages/pacman/trunk/pacman.conf.x86_64 pacman.conf.

Also, it's been logged as an issue: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/34467
