[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. Thanks.

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.

Hm, I'd say no here. The pacman.conf file follows the very simple INI format, but ALSO allows one to expand a given section by adding severs above the include. Do you have a way to do that? Say I wanted to add a Sever = http://foo to just extra.
