To me that just signifies the company has stabilized and no longer needs to put out statements constantly to keep eyes on them for marketing reasons.

There's nothing 'informative' on that article. It's just an opinion piece.

It's 2024, I think we can move on from cringe systemd hating.

This is like being still angry that Windows 7 is heavier than windows XP.

Doesn't look dead to me.

Are you wanting monthly updates or something?

I don't get why people freak out if they don't see constant updates. Is this the result of Fortinite updates on one's brain?

My only gut 'guess' is that your original mirror was out of date, then you happened to switch to one mid sync potentially.

well... thats a good sign at least. hopefully it finally latched on to some working mirrors then. I'd surely think it should find that library now lol

this is very, very strange behavior you're seeing then. I have the following in my /etc/pacman.conf

[core]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[extra]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[multilib]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Does yours look like that?

and for mirror list, I have the following mirrors:

Server = https://mirror.stephanie.is/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
Server = https://nocix.mm.fcix.net/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
Server = https://ohioix.mm.fcix.net/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
Server = https://mnvoip.mm.fcix.net/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
Server = https://arch.mirror.ivo.st/$repo/os/$arch

these settings yield me the python library just fine

Edit: the multilib repo is optional in the pacman.conf, as the package you want is in the extra repo.

Entertain me, what's the output of pacman -Qi python| grep Architecture?

I suppose you could also clean out cached packages with pacman -Scc and then delete the package database files in /var/lib/pacman/sync so that you know for a fact that you are getting a fresh sync and it not depending on anything cached.

but the package is certainly there, are you able to directly download it from https://arch.mirror.constant.com/extra/os/x86_64/python-polib-1.2.0-2-any.pkg.tar.zst from a browser so we can rule out any weird dns fuckiness?

Well for the arch.mirror.constant.com mirror at the top, its certainly there. so doing pacman -Syyu python-polib Should find the package.

For sanity's sake, you are on a X86_64 system, right?

What mirror entry ended up in at the top after running reflector? I can just check the mirror directly.

The package comes up for me just fine on whatever I have for a mirror currently. I'll have to look in a bit what mirror I use

I would check that your pacman mirror is not out of date and sees the new package.
