Changes in pacman-mirrorlist package regarding HTTP mirrors
Hi all, A week ago or so [1] a change in the pacman-mirrorlist package was merged, where we removed listings of HTTP based mirror URLs so only HTTPS based mirrors remain in the newly released pacman-mirrorlist package. To further clarify, this does not translate to making HTTP based mirrors unsupported, they are still available on the mirrorlist[2] endpoint that is used by other mirrorlist fetching tools like reflector. Best regards, Arun Mirrorlist team [1]https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/pacman-mirrorlist/... [2]https://archlinux.org/mirrorlist/

Hey, Nice to see this, I believe this is a good change for a better, while still preserving ways for people that choose to need it. Cheers, Levente
