DetailsCurrently only http and ftp are supported.
My ISP over-caches small files so current.db.tar.gz gets cached and I end up downloading a old version of the file when I do pacman -Syu Also ftp doesn't work most of the days. Rsync however from mirrors such as darkstar.ist.utl.pt seems to work blazing fast. If pacman supported rsync as a protocol similar to http and ftp for checking and downloading updates, this would save me from having to mirror the whole rsync repository. |
This task depends upon

Reason for closing: Won't implement
Additional comments about closing: Outside the current scope of pacman/libdownload. An XferCommand will work for now.

This is best done with an XferCommand script on the outside, although it could eventually make its way into libdownload.

Close for lack of response? Or are you still thinking about this in the future Aaron?

Maybe not rsync, but ssh:// would be neat. Still, this seems like exactly what XferCommand is intended for
