$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('gofree', 'A')re the packages already released for aarch64? Rpi4b? Still got no updates :) BTW, there is no announcement on that, really? This is making me think to switch first time ever in a couple of years,matter of trust.


Your mirror is likely to blame. Try another. You are free to use what ever distro you want.

The lack of communication about multiple weeks of no package updates was strange. You're obviously not asleep at the wheel. Why merge such a long series of threads from confused users instead of making an announcement?

Major rebuilds like python, icu, boost, etc. are to be expected and when they are in progress, all packages need to be built before pushing out to repos. It can be argued that we can do better announcing when such events are in progress and when corresponding repos will not receive updates.

Too many users just post without searching, so I merged related threads in an attempt to keep the signal-to-noise ratio in the forums up.

All right, thank you. It doesn't really affect me personally, since I found this thread and was able to see what was going on, but it was bewildering to watch play out.

Personally I found this thread through reddit :) usually when something similar is happening on Arch ( x86_64) I check news section first and its there. Here I had to look and search for quite a while. Maybe news section would not harm on home page. Just my two cents again. Happy arch user for a long time eg. arch everywhere :) I dont want to switch to another distro on my rpi - I just think things like this deserve better communication - my second step after arch arm page was forum - announcements section - after I googled and hit reddit. Please take it as feedback.
