[repo] Many missing mips64el packages

Description

network-manager-applet for mips64el cannot be downloaded using the website because it is missing from every mirror out there. The mips64el kernel is not even searchable, nor is present in any mirror. Probably the same situation goes for many other packages.

Some of the missing packages for which the website returns a 404 error: dnsmasq, gtkpod, gptfdisk, mupdf, ntp, parcellite...

i just did `pacman -Syi linux-libre` and it was ok, packages are missing but i'm slowly working on this. we need more mips64el packagers :)

Thank you. I hope it gets fixed soon. That command works for me too. The problem is, the kernel version is quite old.

recent versions produced kernel panics on the rtl8187 module, i think it's fixed in 3.13

What's the problem with the missing mips64el packages? How come the links are broken?

Is there a list of missing packages?

Updated by fauno about 10 years ago

my machine is dying or already dead. i think "missing packages" doesn't make much sense since the repo is outdated (last thing i did was upgrading [core] and xorg). i suggest you try to upgrade your current system (pacman -Qq will tell you this) and package on demand, otherwise is just too much work.

I have a working YeeLoong system based on parabola-base-mips64el-2013.10.25.tar.gz. From the package search facility on the website it seems many packets are stuck at the July 2013. Well, I think you've fixed something because now my system sees most of the packages I missed!

I don't know if there's a list of missing packages. From what I see now I need the following missing packages: openbox, pcmanfm, qupzilla-libre, network-manager-applet, gvfs-smb, json-glib (a dependency of file-roller-libre), giblib (a dependency of scrot), mplayer and gmtk (both dependencies of gnome-mplayer). Also the kernel version is old.
