alpaca.org seems to be taken, but maybe they could be persuaded to part with it?
If this is at all a possibility, I'd vote for ALPaCa
All the best,

Another +1 for ALPaCa (HALP was good, but this is awesome).

Packages, in gravy.

This food looks worse than spam:

Trilby · 2013-08-26 21:26:34

Well, alpo is dog food! (A very common - but dreadfully bad - brand of pet food here in the US)

EDIT: I hope this doesn't offend any dog owners who use Alpo. But if there are any, I do hope it makes them rethink the choice.

SPAM is a great camp-food and delicious when pan-fried... but the best mystery-meat concoction is scrapple.

Hello,

I've updated the server script as downgrader's author requested, I added package release to the end of each line. So the return results will be:

pkgrepo|pkgname|pkgarch|pkgver|downloadurl|pkgrelease

Both downgrade and downgrader have updated at AUR and now should be usable.

PS. If anyone have a copy of old packages archive, please contact me.

Sorry, currently we have only 300GB of space in our server, and we are in China (too far..).

Any better idea?

===EDIT===

Our server is hosted at Fiberhub Las Vegas Datacenter in US.

I have access to ~100Mb upstream and could upload the data from Boston, MA.

There seems to be a problem with the search script when searching for packages with names that contain special characters.

For instance, the crypto++ package is available for download in the repo:

http://repo-arm-download.archlinuxcn.org/extra/os/x86_64/crypto++-5.6.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

But neither of these search urls produces a result:

http://repo-arm.archlinuxcn.org/search?arch=x86_64&pkgname=crypto++
http://repo-arm.archlinuxcn.org/search?arch=x86_64&pkgname=crypto%2B%2B

I'm guessing the search script doesn't decode the pkgname parameter properly before making the database query.

phoenixlzx · 2013-09-02 02:17:49

Hello,

It's not a bug, the package 'crypto++' just not in the pkginfo.db database.

My fault, I should start archrepo2 after the first rsync process finished. I'll delete the pkginfo.db file and re-generate one. It may take some time.

You can start archrepo2 before that.

I have run into this problem once, there was only i686 version of flashplugin in the database.
This problem should be solved now.

phoenixlzx · 2013-09-02 11:46:28

Well the '+' in query string seems to be trimmed when passing to app route.

So it should be 'crypto%2B%2B'.

Thanks @kachelaqa.

Thanks @kachelaqa.

And thanks to you for looking into this: but I'm afraid we're not quite there yet!

There are quite a few package names with non-alphanumeric characters other than "+".

For instance, there's plenty of package names containing dots in extra, e.g:

http://repo-arm-download.archlinuxcn.org/extra/os/x86_64/gstreamer0.10-0.10.36-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
http://repo-arm-download.archlinuxcn.org/extra/os/x86_64/autoconf2.13-2.13-2-any.pkg.tar.xz
http://repo-arm-download.archlinuxcn.org/extra/os/x86_64/guile1.8-1.8.8-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

and there's even one with an "@":

http://repo-arm-download.archlinuxcn.org/extra/os/x86_64/kde-l10n-ca@valencia-4.11.0-1-any.pkg.tar.xz

Searching for these currently produces no result. (I haven't checked all the repos that you currently host, but there may be other examples that I'm not aware of).

It would be great if you could fix things so that all valid package name characters are supported. By "valid", I mean the ones that actually can and do appear in package names, rather than the conventional alphanumeric set suggested by the Arch Packaging Standards.

PS: Many thanks for your efforts in resurrecting this vital community resource!

PPS: I'm going to buck the trend and say that the name should remain exactly as it is. I don't think it matters at all that the acronym isn't unique: very few acronyms are. Long live the Arch Rollback Machine!

Hah! Yeah, that's what I meant. Well-spotted!

progandy · 2013-09-03 01:04:45

Hmm, why is it so difficult? I guess this would be a valid and simple arm setup:

- rsync mirror without pool directory (with deletion) to /ARM/
- start inotify watch
.. - rsync pool directory (without deletion to keep old packages) to /ARM/pool/
.. - in inotify read all .PKGINFO files in packages and setup SQL database
.. .. detect repo: for each {reponame} test if /ARM/{reponame}/os/{arch}/{package} exists 
- copy everything except pool into /ARM/yyyy/mm/dd
- create symlink /ARM/yyyy/mm/dd/pool -> ../../../pool

result:
arm.exampl.com is a normal mirror
arm.exampl.com/yyyy/mm/dd is a mirror for a specific day
add something like arm.exampl.com/search.php (maybe even index.php) to search the sql database.
you can skip the inotify stuff if you like to use a glob search

Hello,

I added two new API using POST method, so post data could be automatically encoded using curl --data-urlencode.

And @lilydjwg has updated archrepo2, which should fix the package naming problem.

Currently we are still working on this issue to see if they work properly.

ARM is no more: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 0#p1313360

Ups. Didn't read so far. That's really sad. Is it Ok to edit the "Downgrade Packages" Wiki page?

There already is a note that says

Arch Rollback Machine has closed on 2013-08-18

with a link I posted in my previous post.
ARM may be reborn (read the couple last posts about the efforts), so we decided not to remove the info altogether.

Thorsten Reinbold · 2013-09-04 12:17:54

Thanks for the info. And sorry again, I really should stop saving wiki pages as pdf for offline usage.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with this, although it may be a bit difficult to compare the changes between the version you have and the current state of the wiki.

I setup an ARM-like on one server. You can access it at: http://seblu.net/a/arm/.
