powerpill: Does /etc/powerpill.d exist anymore

Hi, not sure if this is the right forum, may need moving...

Anyhow, the wiki for powerpill (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Powerpill) says the 'internal mirrorlist' is kept in /etc/powerpill.d/mirrorlist, but I don't have that directory on my machine. Has something changed, Xyne? Or do I manually need to create that directory and drop my mirrorlist in?

Thanks all.

That might have been a typo.  Sounds like it should read "/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist".

My sentiments exactly, can anyone confirm?

Re: powerpill: Does /etc/powerpill.d exist anymore

I have never included /etc/powerpill.d in any powerpill release. There is no internal mirrorlist by default. You can add additional static mirrors in the powerpill configuration file under sections for different repos using the same syntax as in pacman.conf. Of course I recommend simply using reflector instead.

Hi Xyne, any comment on why the wiki is as it is, then? Should I just change it to /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist?

I can't find "powerpill.d" anywhere on that page and "internal" only appears in the "Reflector" section, which is correct.

Are you sure that you posted the correct link in the OP?

Hmm.... Someone must have changed it. Google cache indicates that it did exist at one point in time...
