[FIXED] Packages archive didn't update since 15 June

Hello. Something happened to the archive again. Can you fix it?


offtop:
I don't know if anyone else figured it out.
I point pacman through pacman.conf to the archive site, so that I don't have to update the system every time I need to install something new, make a pacman -Syu package stuff. Very comfortably.
And when I want to update, usually once a month, I switch pacman to mirrors so as not to give a big load on the archive.

yes,
Month - on fisrt day of  an month.
Week - on Monday.
Every day - repos/year/month/day/
Arch Linux has a similar archive. https://archive.archlinux.org/

I'm thinking this should be the default setup for artix and then people who require daily updates should have to change to those...  and maybe even pay for the privilege of daily updates...  would certainly ease the forums of updates broke my system threads and artixbot keys not working such and such..

Yes, I agree, that using an archive of a certain date eliminates the possibility of broken dependencies when installing a new package without updating the entire system.
Using an on-demand backup with timeshift or rsync before changing date makes the system almost indestructible.

But the problem is that such usage will load only one server. Mirrors will not be used. If only the mirrors also have the artix archive structure, then the problem of load will not matter.

It'll be available again in a few hours, we moved it to a beefier server.
Something seems to be wrong again. Empty folders have been removed from 16 to 26 June. And the folder was created on June 27th. But it's empty.
Also Week folder broken.

I think it would save devs a lot of work if artix was desgined to autoupdate from the monthly archive via a cron job and if anyone wanted to update weekly or daily they would have to make the change themselves.

I think it has to be done manually.
That is, when the system is installed through the ISO image, the installation date is indicated in pacman.conf as the date in the archive.
And if the user needs to update, he needs to change the dates in pacman.conf and make pasman-Syu. And a wiki article should be written about this + about the importance of a backup before updating, so that users understand how to do a system update.
