I ran pacman -i on a brand new Manjaro ARM (Raspberry Pi 4b) Minimal install, as I wanted to select just one mirror for use. I got the results below. A couple of questions:
When using the -i option (interactive mode), is there a way to get it not to show me partially syncâd mirrors?
Is there a way to filter the initial list to a specific country? I assume -c United States?
pacman-mirrors only shows up-to-date mirrors for the system branch - check the man page for detailed info (Pacman-mirrors - Manjaro)
man pacman-mirrors
Yes you can set a country, a list of countries or you can use a continent
sudo pacman-mirrors --continent
pacman-mirrors uses the same status file as the repo web
The mirrors are sorted by response time - and the sync indicates how long time has elapsed since the last sync - the info is pulled from the status file.
https://repo.manjaro.org/status.json
If you want to verify that - you can use the âno-status argument and may get a longer list.
