Wiki outdated - please update :)

Hi,

I wanted to migrate from Arch Linux on WSL to Artix because of runit, so I could run MySQL+Apache.

However, the wiki at https://wiki.artixlinux.org/Main/Migration is outdated, as it lists an old key for artoo:

Code: [Select]
 pacman-key --lsign-key 78C9C713EAD7BEC69087447332E21894258C6105

I would've changed it myself, but registration is not there.

Other things I noticed:
  • The wiki often throws the error
    Code: [Select]
    Session client coupling inconsistent (IP address changed?). Stopping for security reasons.
    on me, especially when using multiple tabs
  • Artix Base Runit ISO seems to be outdated, there's only a build from june available whilst other ISOs are from october: https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/artix-linux/iso/artix-base-runit-20180604-x86_64.iso
  • After migration from Arch did not work, I decided to re-install from scratch using ArtixWSL. I then noticed that the key mentioned previously is no longer used, but at least galaxy/lsb-release is signed with that key, which led to the next problem
  • I guess this is due to some bug in WSL, but for some reason pacman couldn't download the key, giving error: key "32F4AD774C40536B" could not be looked up remotely, which up until today couldn't figure out why it was happening or how to reproduce it. Only thing I remember when that problem happened was that immediately after ArtixWSL installation and syncing the databases, there were package updates available, which weren't when I tried to reproduce this issue
  • However, I suspect that the previous issue could be caused partially by outdated mirrors, especially ftp.sh.cvut.cz (last update september) and mirrors.nettek.us (last update nov 29). I'm not sure how pacman decides if a database is up-to-date or newer, but if it's based on the file timestamp and the remote file's timestamp, maybe I hit an old mirror and things went wrong?
  • In my attempts to reproduce the issue, I had a look at the source for artix-keyring. I noticed that the previously mentioned key was removed from packager-keyids but not being added to packager-revoked-keyids.

This is not a support request; everything is working fine now on my side. However, I suggest having a look at the items above, maybe some of these give trouble for new users.

Thanks for the reports. I've updated the wiki with the correct key. I'll also get in touch with CVUT soonest; they upgraded their infrastructure in September and they probably forgot something; nettek updates fine. It's kind of pointless to post newer ISOs  (very) regularly in rolling-release distros, especially if existing ones work well: in less than a month after release, a full-system update will download most packages, won't it? You seem to know your stuff, we're hiring!
