ABS doesn't contain all packages

My local ABS tree doesn't seem to contain anywhere near all of the packages in the standard repositories. I can do an ABS sync from 'rsync.archlinux.org' and be told that all packages are available, but my repositories are still missing various packages:

==> Starting ABS sync...
receiving file list ... done

sent 195 bytes  received 337574 bytes  225179.33 bytes/sec
total size is 15371645  speedup is 45.51

https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/blas/

ll /var/abs/extra/blas
ls: cannot access /var/abs/extra/blas: No such file or directory

Can anybody shed any light as to why this should be so?

My abs.conf:

#
# /etc/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="x86_64"

#
# Pacman mirror list used for syncing via tarball
#
MIRRORLIST="/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist"

#
# 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 multilib !testing !community-testing !multilib-testing
       !staging !community-staging !gnome-unstable !kde-unstable)

And mirrorlist:

Re: ABS doesn't contain all packages

The phenomen is known as "split packages".

Re: ABS doesn't contain all packages

rxvt is not found also and I would guess others

after abs sync:

# find /var/abs -mindepth 2 -maxdepth 2 -type d|wc -l
3172

# find /var/abs -mindepth 2 -maxdepth 2 -type d|grep rxvt
/var/abs/community/urxvt-perls

# pacman -Ss rxvt|grep /
community/rxvt 2.7.10-6
community/rxvt-unicode 9.18-7
community/rxvt-unicode-terminfo 9.18-7
community/urxvt-perls 2.0-3

I am doing daily tars :

Re: ABS doesn't contain all packages

There was a stuff up in the community SVN.   Should be regenerating the ABS tree now.

Re: ABS doesn't contain all packages

SIdenote: I recomend using ABSROOT, that way you won't have to be root to update the tree.

Re: ABS doesn't contain all packages

Just use svn.  Here are the aliases I use (adjust /scratch to a temp dir of your choice):

For core and extra:

getpkg () {
	if [[ -z "$1" ]]
	then
		echo "Supply a package name and try again."
	else
		cd /scratch
		[[ -d "/scratch/packages/$1" ]] && rm -rf "/scratch/packages/$1"
		svn checkout --depth=empty svn://svn.archlinux.org/packages && cd packages
		svn update "$1" && cd "$1"
	fi
}

For community:

getpkgc () {
	if [[ -z "$1" ]]
	then
		echo "Supply a package name and try again."
	else
		cd /scratch
		[[ -d "/scratch/packages/$1" ]] && rm -rf "/scratch/packages/$1"
		svn checkout --depth=empty svn://svn.archlinux.org/community && cd community
		svn update "$1" && cd "$1"
	fi
}

Re: ABS doesn't contain all packages

Maybe this should be posted to the ML?
