## How to keep a current and functional pacman.conf and mirrors ##
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you have let upgrades go for a while and attempting to upgrade fails (most commonly change in mirrors/host for packages and database) make sure you understand how and where to get the latest: (our source repository)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[[pacman.conf|https://git.disroot.org/joborun-pkg/jobcore/src/branch/main/pacman/pacman.conf]]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Compare with what you have or if you have never edited your own, just copy this file in /etc/
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This will have the top three repositories jobcore jobextra jobcomm in this fashion
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
[jobcore]
|
||
|
|
#Server = file:///var/cache/jobcore/
|
||
|
|
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-jobo
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[jobextra]
|
||
|
|
#Server = file:///var/cache/jobextra/
|
||
|
|
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-jobo
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[jobcomm]
|
||
|
|
#Server = file:///var/cache/jobcomm/
|
||
|
|
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-jobo
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The mirrorlist-jobo file can always be found on the source repository as well:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[[mirrolist-jobo|https://git.disroot.org/joborun-pkg/jobcore/src/branch/main/jobo-mirror/mirrorlist-jobo]]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
which should be placed in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-jobo
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
and currently (hopefully for a long time from July 2023) can be as simple as:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
##### Start Sourceforge mirrors #####
|
||
|
|
# Sourceforge 1
|
||
|
|
Server = http://downloads.sourceforge.net/joborun/r
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Next, to make sure you are up to date, as root, execute:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
pacman -Syy pacman jobo-mirror
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Carefully read the output of this command, run the current script that solves the problem SourceForge is creating by unable to serve filenames with a : in the middle of the name (Microsoftish filesystem that can't handle such characters ).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After this is done, from then on do a classic upgrade by executing:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
pacman -Su
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
