Re: [Announce] Mirror Status

Does anyone know the new URL, if any,  for
http://repo.archlinux.fr/x86_64  ?

The above is what I used to have as an additional Server/repo in pacman.conf, but after setting 'Architecture = auto', it installs a 32-bit version of 'redshift' instead of the 64-bit for my system. (Or at least I believe that is what has happened when I get the "wrong ELF class" error when trying to run redshift.)

Redshift is also available in AUR, but I need the French Arch repository for a couple of other apps as well ...

redshift-1.4.1-8-any.pkg.tar.xz - 'any' means there's only one binary for both architectures.

Re: [Announce] Mirror Status

Thanks, karol. Yes, I know. I needed to clean up my pacman.conf. For some reason I had missed a *.pacnew file, or inadvertently deleted it(??). For _very lazy people like myself, Arch is almost perfect...

However, redshift-1.4.1-8-any still errors out with: "redshift: error while loading shared libraries: libXxf86vm.so.1: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64" on my 64-bit system.

Pick one from https://www.archlinux.de/?page=MirrorStatus

If .gr = Greek, then:
ftp://ftp.otenet.gr/pub/linux/archlinux/
http://ftp.otenet.gr/linux/archlinux/

News: Mirror status and custom mirror lists

2010-10-07 - Dan McGee

We now regularly poll all official mirrors and gather statistics such as syncing delay, check duration, availability, and error conditions. This information is available on the mirror status page. Please consult the page for more details on what is collected, how often it runs, and how it works.

In addition, you can now update your mirrorlist and choose to have it automatically sorted using the up-to-date mirror status information.

You can use the below one-liner to keep an updated and sorted mirrorlist. Make a cronjob and adjust the --data options for those given in the URL when you use the generator: http://www.archlinux.org/mirrorlist/. If you don't want all servers uncommented, the script will need modification.

#!/bin/sh

curl -s \
-d country=United+States \
-d protocol=ftp \
-d use_mirror_status=on \
http://www.archlinux.org/mirrorlist/ \
| sed 's/^#S/S/' > /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Re: [Announce] Mirror Status

Since ftp.archlinux.org is throttled, adding

sed -e '/ftp\.archlinux\.org/d'

into that one liner would remove it from the list.

You should throw this on the wiki, and also mention that doing it more than once a week is probably overkill. FTP only is also silly as it tends to be a heck of a lot slower than HTTP as far as latency goes.

Re: [Announce] Mirror Status

None of the U.S. mirrors seem to have updated in the last couple days. I checked gatech, xmission, osuosl, rit, yellowfiber, pdx. There have been updated packages on ftp.archlinux.org during this time. Is something going wrong with the mirrors? Usually I find they sync within a couple hours. Thanks.

According to http://www.archlinux.org/mirrors/status/ ftp://ftp.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/linux/di … archlinux/ and its http brother + a bunch of other U.S. mirrors are OK.

Have you tried http://www.archlinux.org/mirrorlist/ ?

Hmm. I guess I spoke to soon about gatech. It seems to have updated between when I posted and now. The other ones I listed are still a couple days out of sync though, which the Arch mirror status page shows. That's a change for those mirrors. They used to always update within a couple hours. It seems funny that all the mirrors I've relied on in the past simultaneously stopped syncing in the last couple days. Anyway, I found an uptodate mirror with good speed. Thanks for the link.

Yes my mirror list is up to date, but thanks for that link also.

-d protocol=ftp \
-d use_mirror_status=on \
http://www.archlinux.org/mirrorlist/ \
| sed 's/^#S/S/' > /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

is it at all useful to run the results of this script through rankmirrors?  i just finished writing the following script to do exactly this:

TEMPD="/tmp"
PACMAND="/etc/pacman.d"

MIRROR_STATUS_SERVER="www.archlinux.org"
MIRROR_STATUS_COUNTRY="country=United+States"
MIRROR_STATUS_PROTOCOL="&protocol=http&protocol=ftp"
MIRROR_STATUS_IP_VER="&ip_version=4"
MIRROR_STATUS_USE_MIRROR_STATUS="&use_mirror_status=on"

curl $(echo "http://$MIRROR_STATUS_SERVER/mirrorlist/?$MIRROR_STATUS_COUNTRY$MIRROR_STATUS_PROTOCOL$MIRROR_STATUS_IP_VER$MIRROR_STATUS_USE_MIRROR_STATUS" | sed -e s/\&/\\\&/g) | sed s/#Server/Server/g > $TEMPD/mirrorlist.tmp

rankmirrors -v $TEMPD/mirrorlist.tmp > $TEMPD/mirrorlist.auto

mv $TEMPD/mirrorlist.auto $PACMAND/mirrorlist

(obviously, fphillips has a better grasp of curl than i do )

also, after putting fphillip's script into my /etc/cron.weekly as update_mirrorlist, i added:

if [ -e /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.pacnew ]; then
  rm /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.pacnew
fi

so that i won't have to deal with it manually.  (i use yaourt to deal with .pacnew files.)

Re: [Announce] Mirror Status

The gatech.edu mirror has apparently had its directory structure changed. The new lines should be

Server = ftp://ftp.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
Server = http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch

Edit: See also: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/23001

Edit again: Never mind. I really ought to refresh the forums more often.

Re: [Announce] Mirror Status

Hello,
if i notice a problem with one of our mirrors i'll post it in this thread.

You always could have a look about the mirror status here:  http://users.archlinux.de/~gerbra/mirrorcheck.html

I post the mirror which has a problem, the reason if i found it out and when the mirror comes back.

Bye
Gerhard

Very nice, now to put it in a few languages.  <smile>

Like English for one.

The post you're quoting is 3 years old. Are you referring to the .de in the url? You can also use http://www.archlinux.org/mirrorlist/ http://www.archlinux.org/mirrors/status/.

Re: [Announce] Mirror Status

What's up with the Austrian mirror?

http/ftp://gd.tuwien.ac.at shows up in the mirror selection of the actual install media, but is not listed in the mirrorlist and mirror-status pages, in fact, those two pages do not show any mirror in Austria at all (Austria does not even show up in the country selection box on mirrorlist).

I just checked the repos on ftp://gd.tuwien.ac.at, Arch is listed as distro there, and the lastsync file shows todays date, but I am not sure if all the packages are really up-to-date and if it is ok to use that mirror or not.

Ouch yes, that's a pretty sensitive issue...
