I've been mulling this over for a while, and msys2/MINGW-packages#7925 kicked it back to the foreground again.
I had been considering an install script or hook to automatically run
rankmirrors
on mirrorlists. As in, changepacman-mirrors
to installmirrorlist.*.dist
, and writemirrorlist.*
as output of running rankmirrors on the .dist version.But, I noticed that
pacman-mirrors
is a 'core' package, which has me concerned that something like #2295/#2335 would happen trying to run any such script.Also, any such auto-rankmirrors script should also be included in
/etc/post-install
for fresh installs.Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
