Description:

I'd like to request that these aliases (or some form of them) are added in /etc/bash.bashrc on the next release. Maybe renamed something that matches the "genfstab" command? Something like "genmirror", "genmirrorlist".

HTTP was filtered from the Mirrorlist Generator (http://www.archlinux.org/mirrorlist/). See the tip from here on why HTTP: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners%27_Guide#Select_installation_mirror


Aliases:

mirror() {
curl "http://www.archlinux.org/mirrorlist/?country=$1&protocol=http" > /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
nano /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
}

mirrorspeed() {
curl "http://www.archlinux.org/mirrorlist/?country=$1&protocol=http&use_mirror_status=on" > /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
nano /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
}

Usage:

# mirror FR
# mirrorspeed IT

Observation: The country need to be capitalized, and the user needs to uncomment one (or several) mirrors.


Thank you.
