🍵 MIrrorList Check
A CLI that displays the status of your pacman mirrorlist and the Arch Linux latest news right in the terminal
How ?
Milcheck just reads your /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist and retrieves
the corresponding data from the official
mirror status page.
The last news are directly scraped from https://archlinux.org/.
Why ?
As explained in the
mirror doc, before
a system upgrade i.e. sudo pacman -Syu, you should check that
the mirrors in your mirrorlist are up-to-date e.g. not out of
sync.
It's not
..an additional mirrorlist ranking utility.
