Arch Linux User Repository

@Ibex, I understand that, however, I cannot upgrade the linux package and (spl-git or zfs-git) because they complain about each other being a dependancy. # pacman -S Linux error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: spl-git: requires linux=4.0.4-2 :: zfs-git: requires linux=4.0.4-2 $ yaourt -S zfs-git

That's normal sometimes. It means the kernel was updated on the main repo's, but that this package wasn't yet updated. The best thing to do is flag this package out-of-date and wait for the package to get updated. Demizer is usually incredibly quick :).

Hello, I get an error trying to update. Please help, thanks. $ uname -a Linux serenity 4.0.2-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu May 7 06:47:54 CEST 2015 x86_64 GNU/Linux # pacman -Syu :: Starting full system upgrade... resolving dependencies... looking for conflicting packages... error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: spl-git: requires linux=4.0.2-1 :: zfs-git: requires linux=4.0.2-1

Definitely local network issue. Seems to be wifi related... yay, wifi troubleshooting :)

@senorsmile, seems like a local network issue. You could run curl to get a better idea of timings: curl -v -s http://demizerone.com/demz-repo-core/x86_64/demz-repo-core.db -w "Total Time: %{time_total}\nName lookup: %{time_namelookup}\nStart transfer: %{time_starttransfer}\n" -o /dev/null Also checkout mtr https://www.linode.com/docs/networking/diagnostics/diagnosing-network-issues-with-mtr

@demizer still erring out for me: error: failed retrieving file 'demz-repo-core.db' from demizerone.com : Resolving timed out after 10518 milliseconds error: failed to update demz-repo-core (download library error) with my pacman.conf having this at the end(same as I've had for a long time): [demz-repo-core] SigLevel = Never Server = http://demizerone.com/$repo/$arch I AM able to download the db file manually: wget http://demizerone.com/demz-repo-core/x86_64/demz-repo-core.db --2015-05-11 17:58:20-- http://demizerone.com/demz-repo-core/x86_64/demz-repo-core.db Resolving demizerone.com (demizerone.com)... 184.172.15.230 Connecting to demizerone.com (demizerone.com)|184.172.15.230|:80... connected.

Presumably, pacman is timing out, and since there are no more mirrors it just fails. I increased the connection timeout in pacman.conf and voila, problem solved. This must be a weird wifi issue that's only presenting itself with this custom repo.

zfs-git builds fine if your NOT using llvm/clang

Folks, in an effort to more efficiently maintain the packages, the GitHub repo has been moved to a new, dedicated "archzfs" organization. The main code repo is now here: https://github.com/archzfs/archzfs Please report problems and suggest improvements here: https://github.com/archzfs/archzfs/issues If you have patches, please open pull requests here: https://github.com/archzfs/archzfs/pulls Once again, your active help and support will be much appreciated. :)

@kerberizer, thanks! This is exactly my sentiments. @billy, I am on the email list for new ZOL versions, but I guess the notifications don't include minor point releases. 0.6.4 -> 0.6.4.1, so I missed it completely. Also, my automated version checking scripts did not catch it because I had no idea the point releases went to version numbers that low. I don't have time to check the ZOL website every day, but if you would like to join the project and help out by making sure the version is current, from all sources, please step up. Also, to the community as a whole, if the version is out-of-date, just flag the package out-of-date.

It's probably worth mentioning that @demizer, like everyone else, is extremely busy in his day job. As a matter of fact, a while ago I pledged to relieve him a little bit by taking over the package maintainership from him, but unfortunately I've been having my own share of problems recently (well, at least you can put part of the blame on me as well). The point however is that the AUR maintainers are volunteers. Therefore, please be kind to them and help them whenever you can. Don't just ask: open an issue at https://github.com/demizer/archzfs/issues when you encounter a problem, or better yet, if you can, debug the problem yourself, create a patch and open a pull request at https://github.com/demizer/archzfs/pulls. @billybigrigger, if you're still facing the build problem, could you please also test with the PKGBUILDs from https://github.com/kerberizer/archzfs-git
