Details

Description:

Currently, the Server lines in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist point to the root directory:

Server = ftp://mirror.archlinux.fi/$repo/os/x86_64
Server = http://mirror.archlinux.fi/$repo/os/x86_64

While there are symlinks for most repos (core,extra,testing,community,kde-unstable) in the root directory that point to the correct directory inside /archlinux/, newly created repos like community-testing and gnome-unstable don't work with the above Server lines (i.e.: server returns 404 http response).

My suggestion is to the include the /archlinux/ subdirectory in the mirrorlist file:

Server = ftp://mirror.archlinux.fi/archlinux/$repo/os/x86_64
Server = http://mirror.archlinux.fi/archlinux/$repo/os/x86_64

Actually, this needs to be done in the mirror DB too. The pacman-mirrorlist is generated from what's in the DB.
