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)
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
[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
The mirrorlist-jobo file can always be found on the source repository as well:
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:
##### Start Sourceforge mirrors ##### # Sourceforge 1 Server = http://downloads.sourceforge.net/joborun/r
Next, to make sure you are up to date, as root, execute:
pacman -Syy pacman jobo-mirror
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:
pacman -Su
