I have been using MiKTeX update for a very long time. But every time I tried it for the past week or two I got a warning message which I have never seen before: "This repository contains untestet packages. It is recommended that you wait a few days before updating." It does include that mispelled word "untestet." It comes formatted as if it is from MiKTeX but I suspect it is some kind of hack. It is for real? This happens when I select an intact, no delay repository from the MiKTeX list; and when I take the "Use the nearest package repository" option. thanks, Colin |

It is for real? Well, in a discussion in one of my bug reports Christian confirmed the existence of the warning - it appears when the packages are new. Also I wouldn't worry about the typo: in german "untested" is written "ungetestet". -- Ulrike Fischer |

Thanks. But I have gotten this warning every day for at least 10 days now. New packages are constantly being added, the same as in the past. The message is new. Is there some new problem? Is there a way to tell which packages MiKTeX does recommend updating now, and which they recommend waiting for? best, Colin |

If you have a full installation it can naturally happen that there is always a "new" package. > Is there a way to tell which packages MiKTeX does recommend updating > now, and which they recommend waiting for? As far as I know the message is simply tied to the date of the (or some) package(s). Take it simply as a reminder to think a bit before klicking on the update button. E.g. if you have a deadline or are under time stress don't update. If you have more than one PC don't update them all at the same time. If there are a lot packages waiting for updates, don't update all at the same time. ... -- Ulrike Fischer |
