DetailsPackage info on page https://www.archlinux.org/packages/ has a link "Download From Mirror". Trying to install packages from this link with 'pacman -U' fails for me:
root@leda ~ # pacman -U https://www.archlinux.org/packages/testing/x86_64/glibc/download/ alpmtmp.OM0ZU2 7,7 MiB 1652K/s 00:05 [--------------------------------------------] 100% error: failed retrieving file 'alpmtmp.3bTvA9' from www.archlinux.org : The requested URL returned error: 404 NOT FOUND warning: failed to download https://www.archlinux.org/packages/testing/x86_64/glibc/download/.sig loading packages... error: '/var/cache/pacman/pkg/glibc-2.17-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz': invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature) I would expect this to work, though I am not sure if this should be fixed in pacman or on the website. We have two options: 1. pacman gets the redirect URL from website, then downloads the package. The suffix '.sig' should be appended to the redirected URL to successfully download the signature. 2. The website should redirect to the correct signature URL as well, so pacman does not have to care. I hope there is no reason to mark this INVALID/WONTFIX. ;) (In case of option two this is wrong place to report, so feel free to change category.) |

Sure, easy enough to pass back the effective url. I have something locally to fix this but it probably needs more testing.
