Need to downgrade a package? Mirror inside!

This is just a way to spread the word.. Since the previous mirrors that used to retain older packages have both died, phrakture has been kind enough to set up a mirror himself.

http://phraktured.net/archmirror/

Note that the db.tar.gz files are stripped so that the mirror cannot be used in your pacman.conf. This mirror is only for purposes of downgrading, and packages have to be manually retrieved. I've also updated the Downgrade Packages wiki page to reflect this.

I had to use the mirror just tonight, so it's extremely helpful

Cool, thanks for letting us know.
Thanks for providing the mirror, phraktured, I'm sure it will be useful to me.

Re: Need to downgrade a package? Mirror inside!

I recently had to dowgrade wine to the previous version. Of course I cleared my catch before realizing this! Ugh. So this mirror came in handy! Thanks!
