sync from a specific server
is there, or could there be, a way to sync from a specific server which is supplied via the command line and over rules pacman.conf? My closest server is often very slow at updating the dbases but the packages are there!

Re: sync from a specific server
anymore contributions to this? Overiding the server in the configs from the command line? Obviously not a vital feature but could be handy for trouble shooting!
