Short description:

Archlinux's pacman mirrors sorter

Long description:

A simple script to sort the fastest mirror list for pacman on a standard archlinux install. It is based upon rankmirrors. The purpose was to have a just works command line tool without the need to remember the syntax, and without user iteration.

Based upon:

  • ArchWiki
  • Archlinux's pacman rankmirrors utility

ToDo:

  • Add a pacman hook to execute pakmirrors on pacman-mirrorlist upgrade
  • Divide in functions
  • Add the version for the actual revision
  • Add the help ( -h or --help ) command line option
  • Ask for help on bbs.archlinux.org
  • Make it independent from rankmirrors
  • Convert this shell script into a language like python or C
  • Create a pacman package for archlinux
  • Propose the package to an archlinux's Trusted User to include in AUR

Tested on:
