About mirror synchronization

[nikos]

Hello there. Up to now, I thought it was better to use local mirrors to update my systems. I am new to Manjaro and I don’t know how long it takes for local mirrors to get synchronized. Is it normal for a mirror not to have been synchronized for a period of 13-14 days? Thanks in advance.

I would not be a very good mirror if it was not synchronized for such a long time.

sorry for the snarkiness

Thanks. I’ll consider switching to another mirror, then.

Sync every six hours. Being a rolling release system Manjaro’s repos are very dynamic. So mirrors need to be updated multiple times per day.

A mirror reflects what is available at the mothership.

Updates to stable branch comes in batches - usually between 2-4 weeks.

Updates to testing more freqently and on unstable several times a day - when updates has been push to Arch repos.

This is the general recommendation - not a requirement.
