Thank you, it's a good idea! I'll do it but probably won't get to it in the next 2-3 weeks. |
my bad - I've been a bit out of mana :) I hope to get down to it soon |
hi @rinchen
Even though there are tools, which can simplify such config stacking, it would still require at least 2 copies of each config and a decent amount of copy-paste for each of 10 existing subcommands. I made a couple of attempts to approach it, but failed to come up with a nice way of doing it, that's why I changed the end goal. As a simpler option, it may be less convenient though, I added environment variable support, so you can add HOWEVER, along with the above, I changed |
Hi,
I've run into a situation where perhaps a configuration file for rate-mirrors would be helpful.
The current currency default is 8 and that works well for users on slower internet connections. For those on higher speed connections, a setting of 16 works much better.
Several Arch-based distributions use rate-mirrors as part of their update scripts. Some use the default concurrency setting and some override it.
It would be nice to have a configuration file to set the concurrency parameter in so that these tools can be extended to allow end-users to specify their internet speeds. These tools could then be extended to support the pacman.conf parallel option as well. Here is an example:
What are your thoughts on adding this feature into rate-mirrors?
Thanks.
