bgstack15I don't have access to the internals of how the apt repo is built or mirrored across their crappy cdn, I'm sorry.02:20
bgstack15Perhaps try again later?02:20
bgstack15What I do for myself, partially because of this weak apt repo mirroring, is I use debmirror to synchronize the entire apt repo down for myself on a local http server. And it fails on occasion and I just re-run it.02:21
brocashelmi've just been running dpkg -i on the files for now, but apt still tells me they need to be "updated"02:33
brocashelmit's been happening since with the gtk3-classic repo (i think about three weeks ago)02:34
brocashelmbtw, it might be a good idea to suggest to pin the libgtk-3 packages on the repo page. or else they might get overwritten by upstream (devuan/debian)02:35
brocashelmthis is my /etc/apt/preferences.d file for the gtk3-classic repo: https://dpaste.org/5Ud2W02:36
bgstack15I'm pleased to learn people actually use these. I don't get any usage statistics, you see.02:42
bgstack15I'm not the fastest at updating LW, and definitely very slow on any gtk3-classic builds.02:43
brocashelmno problem. i'm glad you're providing these for us02:46
brocashelmappreciated02:46
brocashelmit's fine on not updating on time, but maybe recommending to create apt pinning for the affected gtk3 packages so that they don't get changed back to the "normal" ones02:47
brocashelmi've had to reverse that mess a few times before i got a list of all the packages to change02:47
brocashelmi might create a thread on optimizing ceres with some good working third-party repos for the power user02:48
