Packages database doesn't update anymore since few weeks.

[Breizh]

Thanks slackline for the answers and the links.

Well, it seems resolved, I just got 230 updates.

It is sad, I have a RPI-2 running ALARM and I'm hesitant to do an upgrade via `sudo pacman -Syu`. I did install a package yesterday using `sudo pacman -S` and that worked for me.

Has anyone done a `sudo pacman -Syu` recently?

Why is holding back packages on a two major rebuilds sad exactly? Do you like having a functional system?

[winksaville]

I was just wondering if we should fork ALARM?

The exact same is happening now, no updates for almost 3 weeks. I had to rebuild Podman, Percona Server, Samba has issues with not finding /run/samba/ncalrpc on boot I assume due to a systemd update, etc.

I read about an SSH security issue, not sure if this affects ALARM, but things are quite concerning, at least to me. I am not really sure what's holding back the package updates now.

[graysky]

The toolchain was updated and the build farm is cranking on rebuilding. For context, aarch64 has 12,569 packages.

[erion]

Thank you very much for the update and for all your great work. There's hope yet ☺️

I still don't see any update coming down the chute on my side (I am on the Aachen mirror).

There still seems to be an issue?
