Archlinux does _not_ support that!!! Whenever you do a sync (-Sy) you have (!!!) to update the whole system. So either -S to install or -Syu to update! Doing anything else should not be advocated. Some people on the irc would go furious if they find about that! Download all packages then install them.

To stop a green drive spinning up and down again and again I removed gvfs from my machine, but each time I used K3b seemingly a KDE thingy makes my drive spin up and down again and again until I reboot. Is anybody aware if developers of desktop environments care about things like green drives, optional vs hard dependencies? I also noticed that if using a desktop environment's GUI editor as root this could cause serious issues nowadays. Am I the only one who tries to get rid of desktop environments and the software, such as the desktop environment's editors? I'm experimenting with getting rid of Xfce and I'm testing Jwm at the moment, but generating the menu is PITA and to find good replacements for editors, file browsers etc. isn't easy. Does anybody know burning software that is nearly as comfortable as K3b is, but that doesn't need GNOME or KDE dependencies? Regards, Ralf
Re: [arch-general] Mirrors out of date
Hi, I don't think hashes are a good way to do that. The Repositories are quite large I'm not sure what value is the right one from this [1] statistics page. Either way, after every update the mirror would effectively block for the time the hash is computed, since everything has to be read. Anyway, the time a mirror isn't in a sane state should be quite short if ever. I don't know how updates are handled, so I can't say what happens and what doesn't. Nontheless the servers normally have enough bandwidth to sync in a few seconds (I guess)...
