Neovim Life
I have been very busy working on the Practicalli Astro 5 config so I havent been updating this journal as often. Lots of commits on GitHub though.
I did have a small issue updating to Neovim 0.11 on Arch Linux which is now resolved, so I can relax on the sofa with the 'vintage' laptop and update the journal in comfort.
Arch Linuxλ︎
I wanted to install Neovim 0.11 and its been a few weeks since I used Arch Linux, so decided to update all packages
This didnt include the latest neovim 0.11 package and included only two updates, so that seemed very suspicious as there is normally many more packages to update.
I tried the specific install of neovim, but that still showed 0.10.4 as the latest version of neovim package.
After a quick search on the internet, one suggestion was a problem with a mirror. Arch Linux seems to have quite a few mirrors for a region (I am in the United Kingdom region).
The /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist contains the URL for each mirror site in the region. I edited the file and commented the first two URLs (for the same server)
Now running the package manager update I get around 30 packages listed with newer versions. Rather than install them all, I just installed neovim 0.11
This worked and I am enjoying Neovim with the new Practicalli nvim-astro5 configuration.
Thank you.
