Arch Mirrors Layout

Hi:
I'm trying to set up a mirror of your server in order to provide arch pakages to my community and I have a question.
Since I saw this mail list message I thought there's no reason for having a folder named 'any' under every repo folder.
Is there any hidden reason for this or it is just cause not every package has migrated to the new layout yet ?
Thxs.

When package a-25.pkg.tar.gz is in testing is uploaded to pool/packages right ?
in pool/packages are uploaded packages from core/extra/testing/gnome-unstable/kde-unstable/staging and in pool/community the rest.
Now when the same version of the package is moved to core, the package is not re-uploaded, just the link moved eh ?
Am I right ?
you are correct. that was the whole point of implementing a pool directory. mirrors sync the actually package once and on move, they sync only the symlinks

Questions on running an Arch Mirror

Questions on running an Arch Mirror
Does anyone here run a public arch mirror that can give me any idea of bandwith they use ?
Is there any issues with running the Current and Extra mirrors in the US ?
Is there any issues with running the Community mirror in the US ?
Mostly I would like to know what bandwidth consumption on a public mirror is for the mirrors that are normally used. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think he would mind this info being posted... i emailed him asking for the bandwidth info for the server for a one month period.... an average.......
- we dont have
a record of actual data transferred, just the amount requested (which
stands at 5440.17 GB).
My server only allows approx 2500 GB transfer per month... so, until i can find a way to upgrade that, I won't make it a public server.... if i did, i'd owe WAY too much money at the end of every month

That hasn't come up yet.
IE8 still shows up at decent percentage in the analytics for certain sites so I've flip-flopped back and forth whether I will support it a few times.
I say "good enough" a lot more while testing in IE8 than I used to, that's for sure.
IE 8 I can understand but just had a quick flick through some of my web sites stats and IE6 and IE7 are under 1 per-cent nearer to 0.5%. If I'm honest I was surprised to see in some instances IE 8 still getting as much as 8 percent.

Arch Mirrors Down?

I've been trying to upgrade my system using pacman but the main arch mirror was not responding. I went through other mirrors listed in /etc/pacman.d/current but none of them seem to be responding either, though my network connection is working fine otherwise.
What the hell is going on?

Same problem here, no idea what's going on.
This is UK, 23:23 GMT if it's any help. What a pain in the ass.

Arch mirror to new drive [solved]

Hi guys, a newbie question here.
I wish move my current arch installation to a brand new drive using Clonezilla but the operation wasn't 100% successful. The mirroring operation from the old drive to the new one didn't give me any problems but I cannot boot into the new system. Grub lets me choose operating system (Arch or centos) but shortly after it gets stuck, throwing errors like: "failed to parse block device name for /dev/sda1".
I've tried editing my menu.lst by mounting the partition via Arch live-cd (but I don't really see why I have to change anything at all). The menu.lst file looks exactly the same as my old/current Arch's ditto. I also tried changing the UUID in root=/dev/uuid etc into root=/dev/sda1 but no joy. A desperate and probably long shot solution (at least in my mind!) was to generate a new mkinitcpio but that failed too saying it cannot find /boot/grub/kernel26 etc.
Did I miss something?
The reason for me wanting to move my Arch installation is that my Seagate is way too loud. The new drive is from Samsung. Same size. Supposedly quieter.
Any ideas?
Edit: the mkinitcpio is untouched, it's supposed to find all pata, scsi, sata etc.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the tip. Will give it a try when I get back home today.
Possibly the mkinitcpio command didn't work as it should since I couldn't chroot into the new drive's partition for some reason (following the Arch Wiki, how to chroot). But I have to give it another shot checking out Blazercist's how-to.
"Anyhow this is basically what needs to be done to correct the problem.
1. Boot ArchLive
2. mkdir /media/disk
3. mount /dev/sdxX /media/disk
4. chroot /media/disk
5. mkinitcpio -k 2.6.28-ARCH -g /boot/kernel26.img
6. nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
7. Replace any references to UUID with /dev/sdxX (where xX represents your drive and partition) instead, save and exit nano.
8. reboot
Make sure and pay attention to the output of the mkinitcpio command in my step 5. If there are any errors relating to one or more of the hooks you'll need to edit /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and remove the hook it complains about !!IF POSSIBLE!!. I for example had some problem with the autodetect hook which caused my regular kernel to fail to create an image.
If mkinicpio doesn't complain and tells you it SUCCEEDED generating the images then you should be good to go."

Setting up an Arch mirror

Am i a bit confused? I can't find any documentation related to how to setting up a mirror for Arch.
Can someone explain these steps or has a documentation for that? Would be nice.
Thanks.

Well. Thanks Chris. But that isn't in any documentation, or?

Swedish Arch Mirror [split]

thanks,
yeah, we should have swedish mirror also,
i wonder if it's possible to get arch on sunet?
edit: here: ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions

ok ,i got an answer,
translated from swedish :
As for now we are very restrictive with adding new distros to the server but we are putting Archlinux on the request list.

doesn't look so good to me,

Is this person trying to attack Arch mirrors or just very confused?

2009/01/03 23:11:12 [9566] rsync on archlinux/(unstable|community|etc)/ from UNKNOWN (203.86.[...])
This client's been sending list-your-files requests on /archlinux/*/ every couple of minutes for 12 hours, causing a bit of server load. Anyone else seeing this?

I don't mirror arch files.... but can't you block the ip address?

What's the best Arch mirror for India ?

I have tried the Israeli mirror, a few european mirrors and even the US based mirrors, but none of them give me good download speeds.
Can some users in India tell me which might be a good mirror to use. I used to get amazing speeds from a few US mirrors when I was in the US. I am trying to set this up for my parents here in India so that they can have good speeds.

Ok I tried the rankmirrors and also replaced the mirrorlist with the new one that was generated. But it still does not help. I tried updating the system today and it had to download about 111 MB worth of data and its been 3 hours now and it still hasnt finished. I am not sure if its a problem at the mirrors or my machine.
Locally the applications start up pretty quickly so my machine is not lagging in that regards.
What could be the issue?

Ryujin,
Thanks again!
The reason rsync is nice, it supports a --delete flag (if I've missed something in 'man wget', please let me know).
Try 'help mirror' in lftp.

Seem to be in mirror and pacman hell

Hi,
reinstalled arch, with 5/1/12 core 32 bit disk with KDE4 but despite enabling an Australian mirror could only get [core remote extra remote community remote] at first for the install.
However now this has all disappeared since upgrading and pacman seems broken plus the mirrorlist seems kaput also.
I wonder if anyone has any idea what to do or is it a reinstall again.
Here are the files and terminal comments but no luck figuring this out to fix this.

Problem in PGP signature of a mirror - an administrative problem

i know this is an administrative affair and i am not the administrator of our network.
i asked our network administrator to launch a mirror of arch in our university and he kindly did it and it is know listed in arch mirror list. the problem is that when i update the package list it gives me error regarding PGP signature and i can not update or install package. when i update the database using another mirror, it works fine and even i can update the packages using our mirror. so the problem is only the PGP signature of our mirror.
since our admin does not work with arch, i decided to ask it here and pass him the solution.
the address of our mirror is : http://mirror.yazd.ac.ir/arch/
and here is the output of pacman -Syyu
[root@civil-cfd ~]# pacman -Syyu
error: GPGME error: No data

Allan,
i did not change the options in pacman.conf file. and note that when i disable this mirror in "/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist" and use other mirror, the commands work well. so the problem is related to this mirror.
ewaller,
it is a pure Arch installation not Antergos or any other branch of Arch.

[Solved]Pacman fails to connect to server in Arch Virtual Machine

Hi
I've just installed arch 2008.06 in VMWare Workstation 6.04 on Vista Business x64. The setup all went fine and i am now logged into my system, but Pacman refuses to connect to anything. i have tried Bridged networking and NAT to no avail. whenever i run 'pacman -Syy' i get the message
"error: failed retrieving file 'core.db.tar.gz' from ftp.archlinux.org : File unavailable (e.g.,file not found, no access)"
followed by the same message for each mirror in my mirrorlist, and then again for 'extra.db.tar.gz' and 'community.db.tar.gz', and then 'failed to synchronise any databases' at the end.
I have tried pinging google, as well as several of the arch mirrors and they all work fine. wget also seems to work fine, it's just pacman that's not working.
Anyone have any suggestions?

That's what i thought too so i switched off the Vista firewall and still no luck. I am behind a hardware firewall here at work, but it shouldn't be blocking FTP traffic. i use FTP in windows all the time.
Just tried downloading a file using wget and it worked fine.

Arch Linux Turkish Community @ 8th Free Software and Linux Festival

Hey There Guys,
We'd love to tell you about the latest news. We were at our stand all
day long on the very first day of 8th Free Software and Linux Festival.
What we've done?
* We've burnt 20 i686 and 10 x86_64 CD images and created paper CD cases
and gave everyone for free. (unfortunetly we were only capable of doing
40 of them and 30 cases since especially the cases were so expensive as
they were the best quality available)
* Made some installations for people who needs help
* Printed nearly 30 Turkish installation manual and gave them with the
CD's..
* Created a "Arch Linux on Tap" concept and made it available over the
network! They is very cool though since anyone can put the plug in
and install Arch with our very new and fresh Arch mirror (that have i686
and x86_64 packages for core, testing, community, extra).
We'll continue to do introduce Arch Linux to visitors of the festival
and help them to discover the beauty!
We also have some pictures for you! Comments are welcome!

Yeah, that's mine! (which runs Leopard for now but has several virtual Arch's on it..) I'm working on installing Arch on it.. (is a 3-4 years Arch user by now btw..)

Arch linux doesn't boot after installing AMD ATI Catalyst

I have a laptop which has a integrated graphic card intel 4th generation (4600) and an AMD ATI R9 m265x (hybrid Intel/AMD graphics card) so I have just installed AMD ATI Catalyst proprietary ones by following
AMD Catalyst ArchWiki.
I have used "Installing from the unofficial repository" method so in my pacman.conf I have added below entry for [catalyst-stable]:
[catalyst-stable]
Server = http://catalyst.wirephire.com/repo/catalyst/$arch
## Mirrors, if the primary server does not work or is too slow:
#Server = http://70.239.162.206/catalyst-mirror/repo/catalyst/$arch
#Server = http://mirror.rts-informatique.fr/archlinux-catalyst/repo/catalyst/$arch
#Server = http://mirror.hactar.bz/Vi0L0/catalyst/$arch
Then I have update pacman's database and install below packages:
catalyst-hook
catalyst-utils-pxp
lib32-catalyst-utils-pxp
(No need to install catalyst-total-pxp as I have installed catalyst-utils-pxp)
After installing it, I have configured the driver, configuring X using below command:
# aticonfig --initial
In order to use PowerXpress support I have installed catalyst-utils-pxp package plus additional lib32-catalyst-utils-pxp.
To perform a switch into Intel's IGP I have also installed the mesa-libgl package and Intel's drivers: xf86-video-intel and intel-dri .
I have enable the automatic update by enabling the catalyst-hook.service with below commands since it automatically rebuilds the fglrx modules while the system shuts down or reboots (so I haven't to do it manually each time kernel is updated using Catalyst-generator):
# systemctl enable catalyst-hook
# systemctl start catalyst-hook
And finally I have blacklisted radeon module by creating "/etc/modprobe.d/blacklisted.conf" file which content is:
blacklist radeon
and also I have ensured that fglrx line is added in "/etc/modules-load.d/Catalyst.conf" file.
To avoid problems, I have rebuilt the fglrx module by doing (I know it is not necessary as it is done by catalyst-hook):
catalyst_build_module all
Once I reboot, arch linux does not boot. Last lines printed out are below and then it freezes:
Starting temp files linker to catalyst...
Starting Catalyst event Daemon...
[ OK ] Started Catalyst event Daemon
Starting Catalyst's fglrx kernel' module builder...
[ OK ] Started temp files linker for catalyst.
[ OK ] Started Catalyst's fglrx kernel' modue builder.
[ OK ] Started gnome Display manager.
[ OK ] Started Network manager.
[ OK ] Reached target Multi-User system.
[ OK ] Reached target Graphical Interface.
[ OK ] Reached target Network.
I have tried to put nomodeset as a kernel parameter but it does not work. Also, after reading ArchWiki, I have noticed that it is recommended to don't do this as I am using catalyst-utils-pxp because intel driver needs it so I have removed nomodeset parameter from kernel but It continues not working.
Any ideas?
Package versions:
Kernel version 3.17.6-1-ARCH
catalyst-hook 14.12-1
catalyst-utils-pxp 14.12-1
lib32-catalyst-utils-pxp 14.12-1
xorg-server 1.16.2.901-1
xf86-video-intel 2.99.916-3

FInally I managed to boot arch linux.
I had to downgrade xorg-server from 1.16.2.901-1 to 1.15.2-1.
It seems there is a problem with Catalyst 14.12-1 and xorg-server 1.16.2.901-1.
Also I had to replace desktop manager from gdm to lightdm as gdm raises segmentation faults using xorg-server versions 1.16.2.901-1 and 1.15.2-1.
Finally I had to add an entry in pacman.conf:
[xorg115]
Server = http://catalyst.wirephire.com/repo/xorg115/$arch
## Mirrors, if the primary server does not work or is too slow:
#Server = http://mirror.rts-informatique.fr/archlinux-catalyst/repo/xorg115/$arch
#Server = http://mirror.hactar.bz/Vi0L0/xorg115/$arch
Then performs following actions:
1) # pacman -Syuu catalyst-hook catalyst-utils-pxp
2) Uninstall all the packages xf86* such as xf86-video-intel, xf86-input-evdev, xf86-input-synaptics, etc.
3) Install the packages uninstalled in step 2 and install them again using xorg115 repo, for example, # pacman -S xorg115/xf86-video-intel xorg115/xf86-input-evdev xorg115/xf86-input-synaptics
I have put a comment here.
