Mirror selection and package maintenance

I installed Trisquel while living in Japan. For probably a couple weeks or longer, running `sudo apt update` with `repo.jing.rocks/trisquel aramo` provided 0 packages to upgrade. I thought this was somewhat strange to go so long without any updates, so I changed to archive.trisquel.org.
This provided 33 updates. After upgrading, there remained 16 packages with the message `The following packages have been kept back`.
I ran `sudo apt dist-upgrade` which resolved the issue to 0 packages remaining for upgrade and 6 to remove.
I believe I solved the problem, if I actually had one.
Is it normal to have zero upgrades for so long? (Maybe I never noticed before that this is normal.)
Is it normal to have slight variance between repos?
Thank you.
Dan.
Just make sure to have all the components and eventually the updates should arrive,
- aramo/main
- aramo-updates/main
- aramo-security/main
- aramo-backports/main (optional)
Now when using whatever repo it is recommended to keep the original security repo enabled, which is the default behavior for software-properties-gtk/qt
deb https://some-mirror-for-trisqu.el/ aramo main deb-src https://some-mirror-for-trisqu.el/ aramo main deb https://archive.trisquel.org/trisquel/ aramo-security main <=== recommended deb-src https://archive.trisquel.org/trisquel/ aramo-security main <=== recommended (if you have src repos enabled) deb https://some-mirror-for-trisqu.el/ aramo-updates main deb-src https://some-mirror-for-trisqu.el/ aramo-updates main #deb https://some-mirror-for-trisqu.el/ aramo-backports main #deb-src https://some-mirror-for-trisqu.el/ aramo-backports main
Other than that, if you think you have found an issue please report it, so we learn from it.
That said, the repo is under maintenance, and yeah you'll be receiving a bunch of updates at once, when the maintenance is complete, so maybe is just a timing issue.

The original installation had all components sourced from repo.jing.rocks.
Do you mean that the installation should have had the aramo-security component sourced from archive.trisquel.org?
Or do you mean that after I changed sources, I should have kept the aramo-security component to repo.jing.rocks?
Also, please correct me if I'm not using correct language to describe this.

It depends on what method you used to install, but if you used software-properties-gtk or the qt version, it should be true.
If you manually changed the repo using a text editor (or installed you system via netnistall), then maybe it would be a good idea to keep the aramo-security from archive.trisquel.org, so you always get the security updates with no delay.
Please note, this is a recommendation, if prefer to keep using the security component from the mirror, then you are free to do so.

It's strange because the jing.rocks mirror seems to be up to date.
