Can't get alis package.sh work

[Neo-29]

Everything goes well with the install but as soon as the alis package sh is launched... It ends up with nothing
As if the script didn't do the job.
I put true to the packages, tried any options.
Nothing.

[picodotdev]

Read the last echoed messages from the script maybe alis-pacakges.sh is exiting because there as some validation errors. Provide more information about the error, a photo/screenshot or your alis-packages.conf file.

here's how it finishes

Mmmmm.... My bad >>>>I cloned without checking today ...let me try that ... I'll be back

[Neo-29]

Yep! Seems to be OK... Tks a lot for your support!
Excellent script!

May I suggest something?

Is it possible to add DisableDownloadTimeout in pacman.conf config of your script? ( as it's overwritten during install by archiso one)
Indeed, I can't get the parallel download work due to my bad connection 4G box
That's something really useful ( used it tks to endeavour config)

[picodotdev]

For DisableDownloadTimeout

debb301

[picodotdev]

DisableDownloadTimeout is merged in master.

Anything else to close the issue?

[Neo-29]

No I don't think so 😀. Maybe adding ILoveCandy for fun 😉

Tks a lot
