Hello Sébastien,
It's great that we have ARM again - thank you for your good work to
provide this service.
Would it be possible to add an "all" directory beneath the "packages"
tree root that contains all versions of all packages?
Having that would be a direct replacement for what the old arm had and
would allow getting any version of any package with the same pacman.conf
server string.
Hello,
I splited up to avoid listing of all packages and all versions for each
request to this page. I may create a static page with all the links if
this is necessary to have a ctrl+f feature in your browser. Is that you
are looking for?
With the old ARM you could use the url in pacman.conf as a "server"link
and that allowed you to install packages on a system that would
otherwise need updating. This was useful when a package was needed but
it was not convenient to do a full update first. So, it would be great
if there's was url that can be used in this way to allow Pacman to find
old packages. Does that make sense?
As far I understand your request, it's already the case. Did you read
the arm wiki page?
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ARM#Time_travel
You can put
Server=http://seblu.net/a/arm/2013/09/11/$repo/os/$arch
or this
Server=http://seblu.net/a/arm/month/$repo/os/$arch
in your pacman.conf.
Yes, I did see that on the wiki page but I would like to omit the
"/2013/09/11/" or the "/month/" bit, if that's possible ?
That way, the same server string could be used to access any version of
any package (as long as it's in the archive, of course!)
So, it would just read "seblu.net/a/arm/$repo/os/$arch" (or something
equally static).
