1) Why do we have this comment everywhere in the conf file : # Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
In my opinion, all these lines could disappear. It's recommended that you keep all your repositories in sync. That means using the same mirror for all official repo. And since all official repo already have this by default : Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
Makes sense to me. +1
2) For similar reasons, I don't think the following comment is needed : # REPOSITORIES # - can be defined here or included from another file
and +1
3) I find pacman.conf more readable with more new lines (especially when read without syntax highlighting), so I added a few of these as well, to better separate the different parts, like the comments and the commented lines.
and yet another +1 P.S.: yeah, I like cosmethics. :-P -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
