Community repo borked?

ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/community/os/i686/

The community.db.tar.gz seems to be not updated since May 14th. As such, all packages released after that date seems to be not available to pacman.

Is there some sort of maintenance going on or something?

Well, they are on the ftp, it's just that the database isn't not in sync with the package itself.
Like in the other thread for firefox, you can still install these packages by giving the full path to the packages to pacman.
Or just wait that someone fix it

Re: Community repo borked?

The forums aren't usually a good place to report this kind of thing, since some devs won't see it. I wrote a bug report: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/7212
