I think Aaron was talking about how people seems to think that the section headings are unimportant and serve as some sort of comment. This results in a lot of problems with servers "not working", because pacman pics up the first server (from the "previous" heading) and succeeds at getting a list.
I'm not sure why people seem to ignore it. I was familiar with ini before I even came to Linux so it was obvious to me. Perhaps people think that pacman just scans all the "Server" addresses, and the headings are unecessary.
I don't understand either... Besides, the following comments were added to the default pacman.conf : # Repository entries are of the format: # [repo-name] # Server = ServerName # Include = IncludePath # # The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and # uncommented to enable the repo. #
