Arch Linux

Mirror Syncing Change

With recent backend updates, the Arch Linux package repositories contain symlinks in order to remove some duplicate packaging work and reduce repo size for packages that are non-architecture specific. As such, mirror administrators now need to be aware that symlinks are coming down the pipe.

--links (-l) should be used instead of --copy-links (-L) in order to ensure the symlinks remain in place.

The Local Mirror Wiki Page has also been updated to reflect this.
