on /etc/pacman.conf under each of the three joborun repositories
there should be this line:
2023-08-14 18:38:56 +02:00
2023-08-14 18:40:27 +02:00
<pre>Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-jobo</pre>
2023-08-14 10:27:59 +02:00
On this mirror file if for some reason sourceforge is not
working you can get the pacman databases for upgrades from here
(disroot, which is alway working):
2023-08-14 18:40:27 +02:00
<pre>Server = https://git.disroot.org/joborun-pkg/repos/raw/branch/main/</pre>
2023-08-14 10:27:59 +02:00
When sourceforge is working the first uncommented line (mirror)
should be:
2023-08-14 18:40:27 +02:00
<pre>Server = http://downloads.sourceforge.net/joborun/r</pre>
2023-08-14 10:27:59 +02:00
From either you can install the latest pacman and jobo-mirror,
then check you /etc/pacman.conf.pacnew and /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-jobo.pacnew
for the latest changes. No other binary packages are offered throug
disroot (space limitation), only pacman databases, pacman, and jobo-mirror pkg.

History of issues created by OSDN's mysterious collapse 7/27/2023
July 27th 2023
No, OSDN hasn't solved their problem, or ours, and thanks to
sysdfree.wordpress.org comrades they provided us with a turn
key sourceforge site to upload images and use a repositories.
We thank them for the entire joborun community.
So upgrade pacman and jobo-mirror and the problems will go
away. Most likely, by the time you read this you never
exprienced the problem.
July 26th 2023
As the osdn crisis continues now for the 17th day, and we
employed this test repository we have also ammended pacman.conf
to use this location instead of osdn and we also made the
decision to make a pkg for our future (hopefully reliable)
mirrorlist called jobo-mirror.
Except for the jobcore jobextra and jobcomm pacman databased
listing our upgrades, this repository now also has a copy of
the pacman pkg and the new jobo-mirror pkg.
You can install them, or just install pacman which will drag
the mirrorlist as dependent.
Since the new pacman.conf will be saved as pacman.conf.pacnew
in your /etc directory, you must manually merge the differences
for the three repositories.
A list of pkgs to upgrade will now be available within seconds
of our push to git.disroot.org, no wait for mirrors to sync.
We apologize for this fiasco, we didn't expect such unreliable
and unresponsive behavior by osdn.net (ex sourceforge-japan)
but we use what we can, till further and better resources become
available to us.
Joborun Linux
July 23rd - attempting an alternative solution
This place although meant for source repository and or
tarballs of source, it is limited in capacity to the ammount
of files that can be saved. Our needs by far exceed this
capacity of disroot acting as a binary pkg server.
This is a repository of database files, no packages, to
temporarily serve the updates for those who build from
source while OSDN is down, and may be down again.
Also a test bed for beta jobo-mirror cumulative repository
