Arch Repositories

When packages are updated in the main repository, are they simultaneously updated in all Arch pacman mirrors? When I used Zenwalk, there was a European/French server that always was more up-to-date, so I could conceivably mess up my system by mixing mirrors.

The main reason I'm asking is because the EasyNews (Arizona) server was unable to send me updates this morning, so I rearranged my mirrors with iBiblio first, which appeared to work fine.

No, they sync at different times so you need to use the same mirrors for current, extra, etc.

Re: Arch Repositories

I switched all of mine to Ibiblio. The one problem with the current Arch installer is that, by selecting a preferred mirror, all others are commented out in the various mirrors files, which means there's no fallback if one mirror's down.

Re: Arch Repositories

That's true.  I usually just wait a while then try again if my mirror is down.
