Man, it's really weird to see this after just installing Debian after using arch for about a year. And sure enough, that message popped up, I tried to update it and the repos were outdated. Brother..
My worst experience with their repos was with logstash having a bug where it would annoyingly install logstash-web with an auto-start. But..... the package had a typo in its startup script and caused the JVM to restart over and over and over. This was at an HFT shop, so sure enough.. I got a call the next morning that all trading was stopped until it was fixed.
I don't understand how these sorts of things issues happen for so long on such a popular distro...
*arch is nice and all, but holy crap does AUR need some better standards with what's acceptable. After spending an asinine amount of time trying to figure out why every 5th package won't build where devs closing bug reports with, "Did you try $BASICTROUBLESHOOTING".. I'm pretty much done.
- maxerickson 11y agoI've only been using Arch for a few months, but my mental model of AUR is that I shouldn't expect anything to work. (this isn't out of frustration, I read early on that it was for sharing preliminary packages and discarded all expectations)
- dfc 11y agoDebian does not have a logstash or logstash-web package. When complaining about "their repos" did you mean elastic.co's repos?
