OSDN services have become a major obstacle to our work
and we sincerely regret relying on them, but seeking other
such service has proved more difficult than we thought.
At this time and since July 9th 2023 uloads have been
blocked, although their mirrors now work and seem
synchronized. To keep users alert of ongoing work
and upgrades we have swithced to a temporary solution
with disroot which is 100% reliable but limited.
Since OSDN is more down than up we are in search for new file/binary
repositories and mirrors. Meanwhile, as a source repository
git.disroot.org has been 100% reliable, but the total amount of
files stores is limited. This disroot repository only holds
the repository databases, not the packages themselves. In lack
of another solution you will have to build any updates to your
system using our source, as explained in the wiki.
the 3 OSDN mirrors below will be functional once OSDN resumes
service, so comment out disroot and uncomment the other three
when it is announced in Joborun's webpage (news) or reddit
r/joborun board. Sorry for the inconvenience, this is the
best we can do at the moment given the resources available to us.
# pacman database only, no packages to download
Server = https://git.disroot.org/joborun-pkg/repos/raw/branch/main/
# osdn mirrors once they become available for uploads again
# DOWN since July 9th 2023
#Server = https://ftp.iij.ad.jp/pub/osdn.jp/storage/g/j/jo/joborun/repos/
#Server = https://free.nchc.org.tw/osdn/storage/g/j/jo/joborun/repos/

## Unfortunately SourcForge mirrors only partially work
## which is the same as not working. The reason is that SF doesn't
## allow a : in their filesystem, being MS-Win oriented, and
## without knowing this when we uploaded, SF translates all : in
## the pkg name into an _ therefore pkgs like gtk3 or grub
## will not be found and you get a 404 errro trying to install them
## So we are back to square one. Waiting for OSDN mirrors to
## become operational again.
