Description:
The http://mirrors.evowise.com/archlinux/iso/ mirror directory contains only older ISO, unsupported by the most of the modern packages. The ISO are currently unusable to install Arch Linux for a too old kernel. Additional info: http://mirrors.evowise.com/archlinux/iso/ contains: 2015.12.01 2016.01.01 2016.02.01 2016.03.01 2016.04.01 2016.05.01 Steps to reproduce: Download any of the previous ISO and try to install Arch Linux from that. Installation will fail with the error message: :: Running post-transaction hooks... (1/6) Updating linux initcpios FATAL: kernel too old error: command failed to execute correctly |
This task depends upon
Has ISOs: No
I'm not sure what the problem here is; is there a rule that mirrors are not allowed to contain outdated ISOs?
I'm unsure what the correct mirror policy is regarding the ISO hosting but at the actual stage evowise.com is totally unusable to install Arch Linux.
If there's not a policy about the ISO hosting, then the issue is not about evowise.
So there shouldn't be an expectation that evowise is usable to install Arch to begin with.
FS#52708, but got no response. I'll try again now though. Maybe they had overlooked the mail or something.
