Re: pacman server

... and if you still wonder ...

the important files about this are here:

/etc/pacman.d/*

the first available server in list is used by pacman

This is what i did!!!

pacman -S netselect
sortmirrors.pl < /etc/pacman.d/current > current.sorted
cat current.sorted
mv current.sorted /etc/pacman.d/current

Re: pacman server

I just wanted to point out that the old way of putting it in pacman.conf still works. That's how still I have it.
