== Pacman-Mirrors ==

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]

=== Purpose ===

=== 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.

=== Use ===

=== 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 avaiability.

# bitbucket.org

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.

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.

$ sudo pacman-mirrors

$ sudo pacman-mirrors

Exactly how the app generates the mirrorlist is controlled by supplying arguments on the commandline.

=== '''IMPORTANT''' ===

=== '''IMPORTANT''' ===

{{Tip|Every run of pacman-mirrors requires you to syncronize your database and update your system.}}

$ sudo pacman -Syyu

$ sudo pacman -Syyu

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]

=== Defaults ===

=== Defaults ===

PacmanMirrors has some reasonable defaults

- Ranking mirrors with the fastest mirrors on top

- Ranking mirrors with the fastest mirrors on top

- Using stable branch

- Using all mirrors

The '''-f''' or '''--fasttrack''' argument uses mirrors which are up-to-date for your branch. Optionally you can supply a number e.g. 10

=== Continent ===

=== Continent ===

The --continent argument is using a geolocation function to create a custom mirror pool from countries within the geolocated continent.

=== Country ===

=== 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.

$ sudo pacman-mirrors --country Germany,France,Austria && sudo pacman -Syyu

$ sudo pacman-mirrors --country Germany,France,Austria && sudo pacman -Syyu

If a supplied country does not offer a mirrorserver the app quits with an error explaining why.

$ sudo pacman-mirrors --country Antarctica && sudo pacman -Syyu

$ sudo pacman-mirrors --country Antarctica && sudo pacman -Syyu

.: Info Downloading mirrors from repo.manjaro.org

.: Warning Option '-c/--country' : unknown country: 'Antarctica'

Line 1,966:

Line 2,004:

Another option for the mirrors closest to your location is '''--geoip'''

<pre>$ sudo pacman-mirrors --geoip --quiet && sudo pacman -Syyu

Line 2,013:

</pre>

===Customizing the mirror pool===

===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.

====A word of caution====

====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.

===Customizing pool===

===Customizing pool===

The customized pool is saved as <code>/var/lib/pacman-mirrors/custom-mirrors.json</code>

'''First option''' is using ''--interactive''. It uses your current mirror pool(whether default or custom)

$ sudo pacman-mirrors --interactive && sudo pacman -Syyu

'''Second option''' is using ''--interactive --default''. This force the use of the official mirror pool

$ sudo pacman-mirrors --interactive --default && sudo pacman -Syyu

'''Third option''' is supplying a list of countries with ''--country''. The countries is an example - check the country list if in doubt.

$ sudo pacman-mirrors --country Germany,France,Austria && sudo pacman -Syyu

'''Fourth option''' is ''--continent''. The countries used is determined by the continent they are assigned to and can optionally be combined with '''--interactive'''.

$ sudo pacman-mirrors --continent [--interactive]

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.

====Syncronization status====

====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.

This ensures you will '''always''' use up-to-date mirrors.

===Resetting and changing the custom mirror pool===

===Resetting and changing the custom mirror pool===

'''First option''' to reset is to default mirror pool

$ sudo pacman-mirrors --country all && sudo pacman -Syyu

$ sudo pacman-mirrors --country all && sudo pacman -Syyu

'''Second option''' to is to use ''--default'' with ''--interactive'' and creating a new custom mirror pool

$ sudo pacman-mirrors --interactive --default && sudo pacman -Syyu

$ sudo pacman-mirrors --interactive --default && sudo pacman -Syyu

* You will be presented with a list with all and every mirror and you can pick your selection.

'''Third option''' is to supply a list of countries and use those for a custom mirror pool.

The countries is an example - check the country list if in doubt.

Line 2,017:

Line 2,066:

* If you supply the same preferred countries on every reset you will get your mirror pool updated with added or removed mirrors.

The '''--continent''' option has a behavior similar to '''--country'''

=== Apply pacman-mirrors defaults ===

=== Apply pacman-mirrors defaults ===

sudo pacman-mirrors --country all --api --protocol all -set-branch stable && sudo pacman -Syyu

The system will throw messages about newer packages on the system. These messages can safely be ignored and they dissappear when the installed package(s) equals the system branch.

If pacman-mirrors is updated and has a new '''pacman-mirrors.conf''', it will inform you that a new conf is saved as '''pacman-mirrors.conf.pacnew'''.

+- Ranking mirrors with the fastest mirrors on top
   - Using stable branch

 The '''-f''' or '''--fasttrack''' argument uses mirrors which are up-to-date for your branch. Optionally you can supply a number e.g. 10
-=== Continent ===

 The --continent argument is using a geolocation function to create a custom mirror pool from countries within the geolocated continent.
-=== Country ===
+=== Country === <!--T:72-->
 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.
-  $ sudo pacman-mirrors --country Germany,France,Austria && sudo pacman -Syyu
+  <!--T:73-->
+$ sudo pacman-mirrors --country Germany,France,Austria && sudo pacman -Syyu
+<!--T:74-->
 If a supplied country does not offer a mirrorserver the app quits with an error explaining why.

 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.

 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.
-===Customizing pool===
+===Customizing pool=== <!--T:79-->
 The customized pool is saved as <code>/var/lib/pacman-mirrors/custom-mirrors.json</code>
+<!--T:80-->
 '''First option''' is using ''--interactive''. It uses your current mirror pool(whether default or custom)
   $ sudo pacman-mirrors --interactive && sudo pacman -Syyu
+<!--T:81-->
 '''Second option''' is using ''--interactive --default''. This force the use of the official mirror pool
   $ sudo pacman-mirrors --interactive --default && sudo pacman -Syyu
+<!--T:82-->
 '''Third option''' is supplying a list of countries with ''--country''. The countries is an example - check the country list if in doubt.
   $ sudo pacman-mirrors --country Germany,France,Austria && sudo pacman -Syyu
+<!--T:83-->
 '''Fourth option''' is ''--continent''. The countries used is determined by the continent they are assigned to and can optionally be combined with '''--interactive'''.
   $ sudo pacman-mirrors --continent [--interactive]
+<!--T:84-->
 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.
-====Syncronization status====
+====Syncronization status==== <!--T:85-->
 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.
+<!--T:86-->
 This ensures you will '''always''' use up-to-date mirrors.
