Even though the root of this problem only lasted for 20 minutes, the effect could be felt later as well, due to mirrors lagging behind. The problem may be fixed now, but I think a news item would be in order, since people rely on it for information about problems that could arise when upgrading packages. The effects of this broke pacman on three Arch Linux installations I administer, one of them was the day after the incident. I think this should be on the front page. Not because it will will help many users right now, but because of the trustworthiness of the front page. -- Sincerely, Alexander Rødseth xyproto / TU
