Manjaristas.org branch compare hasn't updated for nearly 72 hours

[scotty65]

I was just checking what versions of linux612 are in each branch & noticed that manjaristas.org hasn’t updated for nearly 3 days:

Database last updated on: 2024-11-20 17:49:09 (UTC)

Packages for query “linux612” on x64 architecture - Branch compare for Manjaro

stable    :6.12.0rc2-2
testing    :6.12.0-1
unstable    :6.12.0-2

Unstable should be showing as 6.12.1-2, so the database is obviously out-of-date.

Another utility package can be used manjaro-check-repos

I do use that a lot, but I have a custom Firefox search engine set up for Manjaristas which means I can just highlight the name of the package/app & then search for it via my right-click menu.

Edit: A little while ago I wrote a zsh script to simplify using manjaro-check-repos. It will first ask the user if they want to update the databases before running the query. Usage is simple:

checkbranch package-name For example: checkbranch plasma-workspace

Here it is:

#!/bin/zsh

# checkbranch - a zsh script to simplify using manjaro-check-repos (mbn)

# Usage: checkbranch <query> eg: checkbranch plasma-workspace

# Get the date & time of last database update (using the archlinux repo, which is the most frequently updated):

lastupdate=$(date -r /var/cache/manjaro-repos/archlinux/pacman.log +%c)

echo -e "The mbn database was last updated on ${lastupdate}\n"

if read -q "choice?Do you want to update the manjaro-check-repos databases first? Y/y for yes, any other key for no: "; then

# Add 2 blank lines

printf "%.0s\n"  {1..2}

# Update the mbn databases

sudo mbn update

# systemd's run0 could also be used instead of sudo to escalate privileges:

# run0 mbn update

fi

# Add a blank line

printf "%s\n"

# Echo the mbn query (useful if copying output to paste into the Manjaro forum)

echo -e "\nmbn info ${1} -q"

# Query the mbn database

mbn info ${1} -q

exit 0

Edit: added the time of the last database update to the script.

Hi, I’m sorry for the delay. I don’t have much time lately and I haven’t visited Manjaro forums for like a week.

It is now syncing again. It was of course my fault as I had made a small change. But due to my lack of time, I did it in a hurry and didn’t test it properly. The change was not even important, It was bad judgment do it that way. Sorry for the inconveniences.
