I just wanted to confirm that the 300-500KiB I was getting in download was
normal or if I had missed something on the wiki page. Even if slow, the
archive is invaluable for circumstances just like this, and I can understand
why limiting the download may help create a balance for the use of the arc
The rollback worked flawlessly, but is there anything that can be done to
help the download rate? Due to the ICU 7.0->7.1 update, there were 368
packages in 1.3GiB to download. At 300->500KiB it took forever.

I have a problem with bugs.archlinux.org. I think there is a bug with the
software powering the site. I tried to search how to report, and failed.
It is tricky to choose the right search expression.
Should I report to bugs.flyspary.org? I am not related to

According to

pacman -Sywu is not safe. But pacman -Syu is safe. Quoting the wiki, the
rational is that pacman -Sywu
will update the pacman sync database without installing the newer packages.

Right to the point. A systemd timer script had a too strict Umask setting.
Are you invoking pacman in an unattended manner in a systemd timer?
If yes, you probably have another problem. I suppose you mean calling
`pacman -Sywu`. That puts your system into a potential partial upgrade
scenario
Lately, possibly starting at mid December, files in /var/cache/pacman/pkg/
are kept with mode u=rw,g=,o= . Am I the only one having it?

Just a question of why the README is stripped from the gawk package. It

even exist. It holds the developer information and instead of having that

Pacman could do with a feature to bypass authors packages and keys so
those don't disrupt updates.
That would mean installing packages that are not bearing valid

checking altogether in your pacman configuration. Accepting a
If the command shares any resources, and name “autobackup” suggests
it does, it should include some mechanism that prevents concurrent
execution if another instance is already running. Otherwise, even if a
single match happens, multiple instances of the script may be executed.

Thank you friends for your trying to help. But none of the suggestions
worked. In fact I had already tried those before writing to the mailing

install 'shotwell' (

When you have this situation, what can be done to remove the build files
from your machine that failed to build? This happened here with the

Pass the `--cleanbuild` option to `makepkg`: it will remove $srcdir
before building the package.

I am going to benchmark the performance difference between the various x86 uarch

If a separate arch/repo is going to be set up, perhaps it would be
wiser to go straight for v3? May yield even better results and

have a choice, there is no risk of leaving v1 and v2 users behind.

Though you have benchmarked a wrong thing. It’s decompression time
that matters here, not compression. The image is compressed to make it
load faster during boot and that’s the important metric here.
