Hello.
Im' trying disable unavailable repository inside appveyor-ci by sed'ing primary address, but pacman continues use it. What I'm doing wrong?

Disabling command:

- c:\msys64\usr\bin\bash -lc "sed -i 's/^Server\ =\ http:\/\/repo\.msys2\.org/#Server\ =\ http:\/\/repo\.msys2\.org/g' /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.*"

Next execution:

c:\msys64\usr\bin\bash -lc "pacman --noconfirm -Syuu"
:: Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed retrieving file 'mingw32.db' from repo.msys2.org : Connection timed out after 10008 milliseconds
error: failed retrieving file 'mingw64.db' from repo.msys2.org : Connection timed out after 10011 milliseconds
error: failed retrieving file 'msys.db' from repo.msys2.org : Connection timed out after 10011 milliseconds
...

Asking because same solution works on local installation without any issues.

@r4sas as a temporary solution, I just rewrote it completely:

- c:\msys64\usr\bin\bash -lc "echo 'Server = https://mirror.yandex.ru/mirrors/msys2/mingw/x86_64/' > /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.mingw64"
- c:\msys64\usr\bin\bash -lc "echo 'Server = https://mirror.yandex.ru/mirrors/msys2/mingw/i686/' > /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.mingw32"
- c:\msys64\usr\bin\bash -lc "echo 'Server = https://mirror.yandex.ru/mirrors/msys2/msys/$arch/' > /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.msys"

Thank you for idea, I think that's better becuase something block sed'ing as I see:

c:\msys64\usr\bin\bash -lc "sed -e '/repo\.msys2\.org/ s/^#*/#/' -i /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.*"
c:\msys64\usr\bin\bash -lc "cat /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.*"

Add: I've also added rewriting mirrorlist after runtime update (first time pacman --noconfirm -Syuu) because pacman update will kill earlier changes.

How do we run the following lines without repo.msys2.org?

• C:\msys64\usr\bin\bash -lc "curl -O http://repo.msys2.org/msys/x86_64/msys2-keyring-r21.b39fb11-1-any.pkg.tar.xz"

• C:\msys64\usr\bin\bash -lc "pacman-key --verify msys2-keyring-r21.b39fb11-1-any.pkg.tar.xz.sig"
• C:\msys64\usr\bin\bash -lc "pacman -U --noconfirm msys2-keyring-r21.b39fb11-1-any.pkg.tar.xz"

just replace it with a mirror

It's back up now. Sorry everyone.

(If anyone is willing to sponsor a better server please get in contact with us)

Some files still appear to be missing:

The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.
URL http://repo.msys2.org/mingw/x86_64/mingw-w64-x86_64-libtasn1-4.9-1-any.pkg.tar.xz is not valid

We've had to remove all files older than 1 year that are not in the pacman repo to save space for the new server.

I still have the old files locally, so I could provide them if needed.
