rorrim

Fetch, filter, sort, and output an up-to-date mirrorlist for Arch Linux. Aiming for feature parity with reflector initially, with extra functionality built-in.

Usage

rorrim doesn't require any arguments but it's recommended to setup filters in your region for the best performance. For example:

rorrim --country Canada --protocol https --number 5 --sort score --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

The above will output 5 mirrors in Canada that use https to retrieve data, sort them by their score and place the output in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.

To use multiple countries and/or protocols:

rorrim -c Canada -c Sweden -p https -p rsync

Details

• Writes to stdout unless file is provided
• Out of sync mirrors are discarded before any other filters are applied

Contributing

Contributions of any kind are more than welcome, feel free to open an issue for a feature you would like to see implemented or a pull request if you had something in mind and I will try to respond as soon as I can.

The only guideline to properly format and lint your code with rustfmt and clippy before commits.

TODO

• Implement sorting by HTTP download speed
• Add version tagging and releases to actions
• Caching initial response for faster back to back runs
• Allow user to specify custom filters?
• Work as both library and executable
