Re: [arch-general] pacman mirrorlist update

Okay, thanks guys. I will continue to do: sudo reflector --verbose --country 'United States' -l 200 -p http --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist frequently, and then update (very frequently) as usual, by: sudo pacmatic -Syyuv And I will delete etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.pacnew, RSN. I don't know what the purpose of the pacman-mirrorlist -20150618-1 update was. Maybe the idea was to encourage people to "freshen up" their mirrorlist more often. But since that seems to require manually merging from etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.pacnew, might that be counterproductive? I am not saying it's wrong - just a thought.

Hello.

Just installed update pacman-mirrorlist -20150618-1, installed by pacman

as

...

/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.pacnew, and there is nothing exotic about my /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist. [...] Should I again just:

sudo reflector --verbose --country 'United States' -l 200 -p http --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

and then just delete /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.pacnew?

You could re-rate your mirrors, but it's probably not necessary (assuming your current mirrors are okay, of course). You can safely delete the mirror list.new.
