V.T. Eric Layton Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 There was a bugaboo on my Arch system that would cause it to show everything as current and updated when I would run #pacman -Syu or #yaourt -Syua. If I remember correctly, I had to regenerate a new mirrors list and then run rankmirrors again to get it to properly update. Hopefully, you're not having this issue, abarbarian. Quote

That is why it is good to run rankmirrors against the mirrorlist.pacnew file if you get a pacman-mirrorlist update. Quote

abarbarian Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 If not ArchLinux, then at least vanilla Linux developers should adopt your motto! Alas not mine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Less_is_more http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_Mies_van_der_Rohe Along with Le Corbusier, Alvar Aalto, and Frank Lloyd Wright, he is widely regarded as one of the pioneering masters of modern architecture. Mies, like many of his post-World War I contemporaries, sought to establish a new architectural style that could represent modern times just as Classical and Gothic did for their own eras. He created an influential twentieth century architectural style, stated with extreme clarity and simplicity. His mature buildings made use of modern materials such as industrial steel and plate glass to define interior spaces. He strove toward an architecture with a minimal framework of structural order balanced against the implied freedom of free-flowing open space. He called his buildings "skin and bones" architecture. He sought a rational approach that would guide the creative process of architectural design, but he was always concerned with expressing the spirit of the modern era. He is often associated with his quotation of the aphorisms, "less is more" and "God is in the details". 1 Quote

abarbarian Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Packages (1): ifplugd-0.28-14 Total Download Size: 0.02 MiB Total Installed Size: 0.05 MiB Net Upgrade Size: -0.07 MiB This one has me puzzled. How can the Net Upgrade Size be -0.07Mib when the Installed Size is only 0.05Mib If the programs installed size is 0.05Mib and the Net Upgrade Size is -0.07Mib then the program is using no space whatever and has nicked -0.02Mib of some other programs. Spooky stuff. Almost like the Tardis. Could Judd Vinet be a real time lord ? 1 Quote
amenditman Posted June 7, 2013 Author Posted June 7, 2013 The total installed size is the new installed size after the savings (Net Upgrade Size: -0.07 MiB) due to the package being smaller. 1 Quote
