== Pacman-Mirrors ==
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Pacman-mirrors is a Manjaro specific utility for generating and maintaining the system mirrorlist. This article covers current version 4.x.
Pacman-mirrors uses the information available on the [http://repo.manjaro.org Mirrorservice]
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
=== Purpose ===
Manjaro uses pacman for system maintenance, updates and new installs. For pacman to function, a list of servers, or more commonly known as mirrors, with Manjaro software packages is required. As Manjaro has many mirrors all over the world it is feasible to use the mirrors closest to your location and preferably also up-to-date.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
=== Use ===
For most functions, a working internet connection is required. From v4, Pacman-Mirrors will check if network is online. It is doing so by querying some generic websites. The sites are chosen due to their general availability. pacman-mirrors will selfupdate by downloading mirrors.json and status.json from repo.manjaro.org.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
# repo.manjaro.org
# wikipedia.org
# bitbucket.org
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Should you get certificates error and pacman-mirrors throws a message of missing internet connection - you must verify your computers firmware date and time as this is probably completely off either because of configuration or a malfunctioning CMOS battery.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
The app is run by an ordinary user with superuser rights from the console and when no arguments are given it will display pacman-mirrors version followed by status of the mirrors currently listed in your mirrorlist.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
{{UserCmd|command=sudo pacman-mirrors}}
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Exactly how the app generates the mirrorlist is controlled by supplying arguments on the commandline.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
=== '''IMPORTANT''' ===
==== When to use a forced metadata refresh ====
When pacman requests the metadata from the mirror then - to avoid unnecessary download - pacman asks for '''Last-Modified''' header for the metadata on the server.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Only in the event that '''Last-Modifed''' on the mirror is newer - pacman requests the complete file.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
This can present an awkward scenario where the local metadata is newer than the mirror but it contains older content.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
This inconsistency may then generate '''HTTP 404 Not Found''' errors because the local metadata could contain references to package versions which no longer exist.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
The doubled '''yy''' is to mitigate such possible issues - especially when you switch branch or mirror.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
It is bad practise to indiscrimately use '''-Syyu''' for update scenarios, but - pamac mirrorlist timer rewrites the mirrorlist on a weekly or bi-weekly basis - thus increasing the possibility of having inconsistent metadata - in which case the doubled '''yy''' makes sense - which is also why it is used in the pacman-mirrors man page.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
To further the inconsistency - pamac uses copies of the pacman database - which has caused confusion before - pamac and pacman being in disagreement over available updates.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
The commands presented in this document uses the syntax '''-Syu''' thus leaving it to the user to add the extra '''-Syyu''' only in case where it is strictly necessary.
{{Tip|Every run of pacman-mirrors requires you to syncronize your database and update your system.}}
{{UserCmd|command=sudo pacman -Syu}}
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
If you fail to do so, the issue/s which had you make change might not be solved. Furthermore you might run into [[System_Maintenance|''partial-updated'']] scenario which can cause havoc in your system. For more detailed information on how pacman works you can read up on the [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/System_maintenance Archlinux Wiki]
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
==TL:DR - Samples please==
All commands uses the available mirror pool.<br />
The mirror pool can be the default full mirror pool or a customized mirror pool.<br />
Commands for info do not require superuser - changing systemfiles do.<br/>
All samples are using the long name version of the argument.
For short versions have a look at the [https://gitlab.manjaro.org/applications/pacman-mirrors/-/blob/master/data/docs/index.md| man page] or the usage command

=== Defaults ===
PacmanMirrors has some reasonable defaults
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
- Ranking mirrors with the fastest mirrors on top
 - Using stable branch
 - Using all mirrors
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
The '''-f''' or '''--fasttrack''' argument uses mirrors which are up-to-date for your branch. Optionally you can supply a number e.g. 10
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
=== Continent ===
The --continent argument is using a geolocation function to create a custom mirror pool from countries within the geolocated continent.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
=== Country ===
Instead of pacman-mirrors probing all mirrors in all countries it is possible to supply a list of countries from which to use the mirrors. This creates a custom mirror pool. The countries is an example - check the country list if in doubt.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
{{UserCmd|command=sudo pacman-mirrors --country Germany,France,Austria && sudo pacman -Syu}}
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Another option for the mirrors closest to your location is '''--geoip'''

</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
===Customizing the mirror pool===
If you, for various reasons, have a preference for specific mirrors, it is possible to create a personal mirror pool. This is done by supplying ''--interactive [--default]'', ''--continent-- or ''--country'' argument.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
====A word of caution====
Don't limit yourself too much. Pacman-mirrors will only use up-to-date mirrors in the final mirrorlist. Also observe this: Your custom mirror pool will not be changed - even if a mirror leaves service or becomes unmaintained. It is your reponsibility to maintain your custom mirror pool in the event the official mirrorpool is changed.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
===Customizing pool===
The customized pool is saved as <code>/var/lib/pacman-mirrors/custom-mirrors.json</code>
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
'''First option''' is using ''--interactive''. It uses your current mirror pool(whether default or custom)
{{UserCmd|command=sudo pacman-mirrors --interactive && sudo pacman -Syu}}
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
'''Second option''' is using ''--interactive --default''. This force the use of the official mirror pool
{{UserCmd|command=sudo pacman-mirrors --interactive --default && sudo pacman -Syu}}
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
'''Third option''' is supplying a list of countries with ''--country''. The countries is an example - check the country list if in doubt.
{{UserCmd|command=sudo pacman-mirrors --country Germany,France,Austria && sudo pacman -Syu}}
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
'''Fourth option''' is ''--continent''. The countries used is determined by the continent they are assigned to and can optionally be combined with '''--interactive'''.
{{UserCmd|command=sudo pacman-mirrors --continent [--interactive]}}
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Using ''--interactive'' option, pacman-mirrors will process the available mirrors and present you with a list in which you will select your desired mirrors. In any case the pool is saved and used to generate a mirrorlist.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
====Syncronization status====
Pacman-mirrors downloads pool status for the default mirror pool. When you want to regenerate your mirrorlist, your custom pool is updated with the info from the downloaded pool status.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
This ensures you will '''always''' use up-to-date mirrors.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
===Resetting and changing the custom mirror pool===
