EOS Mirrors

General system Applications

Lately every time I rand the EOS mirrors I get the same mirrors having a problem. The ranking always work but always the same problems with two mirrors:

Blockquote
==> Warning about https://endeavouros.ip-connect.info/repo/$repo/$arch:
Update level is 2244/2277, problem with the mirror?
Continuing.
==> Warning about https://mirror.jingk.ai/endeavouros/repo/$repo/$arch:
Update level is 2273/2277, some [endeavouros] packages may be outdated if this mirror is in use.
Continuing.
==> Warning about https://mirrors.urbanwave.co.za/endeavouros/repo/$repo/$arch:
Update level is 2258/2277, problem with the mirror?
Continuing.

Is there a problem if so can those mirrors be removed from the list?

I believe they’re just ignored. Updates should still be fine. I posted about this a while ago. Those exact same mirrors have been like that for me for months.

I am in the South Western part of the US, and I am having the same problem.
However, geo location is everything. Over in Europe, middle east, Russia, these might be reliable mirrors. That is the job of Eos mirror ranking, to chose the best mirrors for your location.

Remember, you can edit the

/etc/pacman.d/endeavouros-mirrorlist

to be any thing you want. Here is mine for my daily ARM driver.

[don@J5040 ~]$ cat /etc/pacman.d/endeavouros-mirrorlist

## Germany
Server = https://mirror.alpix.eu/endeavouros/repo/$repo/$arch

## United States
Server = https://mirrors.gigenet.com/endeavouros/repo/$repo/$arch

## Germany
Server = https://mirror.moson.org/endeavouros/repo/$repo/$arch

I never need to change it. I list mirror.alpix.eu first because when I update
the github ARM repo, the alpix mirror is the master mirror, or I think that
is referred to as the level 1 mirror. Any updates I make in the github ARM repo is usually in the alpix mirror within 5 minutes, then most of the level 2 mirrors update from the alpix mirror hourly, except for a few in Asia.

Not really a problem unless you have nothing in addition to those mirrors in the endeavouros-mirrorlist file. Those are simply messages informing about problems with those mirrors. Other mirrors are OK, and your list will be OK too.

To get rid of those messages, you can edit file /etc/eos-rankmirrors.conf and add (partial) names to variable EOS_IGNORED_MIRRORS, e.g.

EOS_IGNORED_MIRRORS=(ip-connect jingk urbanwave)

Then run eos-rankmirrors again.

Okay thanks for the information. I will just not worry about it.
