pacman does not support metalink. the only way is to use a custom XferCommand or a pacman wrapper like powerpill : http://xyne.archlinux.ca/info/powerpill And for ISO, as far as I can see, there is no official support either. No metalink here : http://www.archlinux.org/download/ And the only metalink files on ftp are for the archboot iso which are not official. But Xyne provides metalink for iso too : http://xyne.archlinux.ca/arch _______________________________________________ pacman-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/pacman-dev
