Re: [pacman-dev] pacman 3.1.0: new repositories=( ... ) syntax

People,

Pacman 3.1.0 has a new common "mirrorlist" repository structure like

[core] # Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[extra] # Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Is there a way to change this syntax to this one (like rc.conf) below?

REPOSITORIES=(!testing core extra community !unstable)

I think it will simplify pacman.conf file.

You could maybe have a look at the bug report where this was discussed : http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/6389 So that looks nice, but we would still need the current structure for unofficial repositories.
