I have noticed I seem incapable of accessing the testing repository on my arch. I assumed it would be as simple as uncommenting it pacman.conf, but it doesn't get including when I run pacman -Sy, nor can I find any packages from it afterwards.
The only thing I've tried to pull in is netcfg and in the thread dedicated to it here it say:
Whether you're running [testing] or not,
pacman -S testing/netcfg
which only gives me
pacman -S testing/netcfg
error: repository 'testing' not found
error: 'testing/netcfg': no such repository
whether the testing repo is uncommented or not in pacman.conf. I've tried changing the testing mirror to another, but that didn't work either. What could be wrong?

post your pacman.conf please also check you have testing in pacman.d

For my believe - Shouldn't it just be:
pacman -S netcfg
And you'll get the latest from testing???
But you need to uncoimment [testing] also!

I would think so. Neither '-S testing/netcfg' or '-S netcfg' with testing uncommented in pacman.conf seem to work however.
