$ pacman -Qi nomirrorlist Description : Dummy package to replace pacman-mirrorlist Provides : pacman-mirrorlist Depends On : pacman reflector Conflicts With : pacman-mirrorlist Replaces : pacman-mirrorlist
I have a dedicated personal package to force resolution to it rather than the official mirrorlist; I then have the freedom to make it generate a mirrorlist in post_install, or at least provide the file itself as a backup file with a randomly chosen mirror that at least works.
That seems like the sanest compromise and there's already a package in the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/reflector-nomirrorlist/ Thanks!
