Community database on archlinux.org

rsync.archlinux.org is feeding me a bad community database file, it is giving me community.tar.gz, not community.db.tar.gz
I have manually fixed it for locke.suu.edu, but it will be broken again when the sync runs in 40 minutes.

@ryujin

I don't have access to rsync so I can't confirm what you're seeing.
May I suggest that you file a bug?

maybe, but they state that the repo is messy in general.
also i meant to point that a mailing list post would most likely adress the problem much quicker to ppl who can actually help

Re: Community database on archlinux.org

I can confirm this, because all mirrors I'm using suffer from this problem :
Server = http://mir1.archlinuxfr.org/archlinux/community/os/i686
Server = http://mir2.archlinuxfr.org/archlinux/community/os/i686
Server = http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/p … ty/os/i686
Server = http://ftp.rez-gif.supelec.fr/pub/Linux … ty/os/i686

They all have community.tar.gz instead of community.db.tar.gz

community db on ftp.archlinux.org is outdated, but this one still has the correctly named database : community.db.tar.gz

Re: Community database on archlinux.org

it seems to be fixed!  Thanks!

I see from the mailing list that a temporary fix is in place, so re-syncing is clean.
