No more Universe repo links working

07 March 2023, 00:41:38

Hello,
The last Universe repo in Artix wiki Repositories has ceased working. Visiting every link in the list via browser returns either 404 or problem loading page as https://ftp.crifo.org/artix-universe/ does. (btw that link has an error in the wiki, https://ftp.crifo.org/artix-universe/$arch was the correct url before it also quit working.) If just one link could be fixed that would be great.

The repos look ok.  The URLs from that page and file probably have an "$arch" appended at the end which will get subsitutted with x86_64 by pacman on your computer..

Either drop the "$arch" or remove it, the repo should be browse-able.  But use the URL from tke wiki in your pacman.conf.

hi
i can confirm the mirrors work (but throwing a 404 because of the /$arch at the end :p)
for the last one, ftp.crifo.org (which i manage), the server is currently down because the power supply died. still waiting for my hoster to change it.. sorrry about it

Alright thank you, that was a bit confusing. The last one is now up again, and I can visit the others. Using https://ftp.crifo.org/artix-universe/  without the $arch returns a 404 in pacman, so I really do think it's an error in the wiki.

It's not an error. The $arch in the url in the wiki is just a variable (for the architecture in this case) and it's substituted out by pacman with the appropriate value. Of course pasting this link directly into your browser isn't going to work. It's not supposed to.
