Well, that is a bit outdated.

I think my draft is more detailed: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/User:Foxboron/GitMigration

Runbook for the migration can be found here: https://md.archlinux.org/utjjQ-bQTsipIKntPrpf8g?both

Is there a reason why you have a mix of github and gitlab?

Seems like you're using btrfs for repos.archlinux.org. Any problems with reliability and/or performance? Very rarely does someone share their experience if everything is working fine, regardless of a technology in question.

I check several mirrors which are said to be in sync but got this. This cannot be right:

  pacman-6.0.2-6-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst        18-Mar-2023 15:24   944412
  pacman-6.0.2-6-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst.sig    18-Mar-2023 15:24   119
  pacman-6.0.2-7-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst        20-May-2023 14:17   56
  pacman-6.0.2-7-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst.sig    20-May-2023 14:17   60

mirrors are all still unsynced since may 19, so announcement was premature

Most mirrors (at least within the US) are now up-to-date. I finished installing pacman 6.0.2-7 a few minutes ago.

Which mirror do you use?

I got some issues with all my mirrors: the size of the last pacman package is very (too) small (60 vs 944412 for previous version). e.g. https://archlinux.uk.mirror.allworldit.com/archlinux/core/os...

I'm a bit confused by how pacman works.

I picked a mirror that definitely has the 6.0.2-7 version on it[0], yet Pacman can't find it.

Does the server's core.db have to update before the new version is available? Because that one is dated 18-May-2023 05:21.

Probably PEBCAK, but even the best mirrors according to

https://archlinux.org/mirrors/status

still seem unsynced on my arch systems.

Weird, I ran reflector which should update my mirrorlist with the 5 most recently synchronized mirrors, but I'm still not getting them.

This is going to be huge

Why is that?

Better quality of life for the rest of the world looking into Arch Linux packages. The aggregate of this, will most probably be more involvement from more people as it brings the development to life on the Gitlab Web interface.
