[solved] Custom XferCommand command for only one repo?

Hi folks,

it's possible to have atom cus XferCommand for only one repo?

The case: i have a private repo on ftp server, or http server with basic auth, it's possible to give a #XferCommand  only for this repo?

I tried to add in repo proprieties but it's not recognized.

Thanks

What are you trying to achieve with your custom XferCommand?

If it's just authentication then you can use an entry in /root/.netrc or /root/.curlrc instead...

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

Even easier: You can just put the credentials into the server URL:

http://user:password@hostname.com/repo

/root has 700, while pacman.d has 755. Not a good place to store a password.

True. But then, storing a password in plain text is never a good idea.
