biglinux-mirrorlist

Mirrorlists for the BigLinux pacman repositories (packages.biglinux.com.br). With them, /etc/pacman.conf does not carry server URLs, like the Arch Linux and Manjaro repositories:

[biglinux-priority]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/biglinux-priority-mirrorlist

# ... Manjaro repositories: [core], [extra], [multilib] ...

[biglinux-testing]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/biglinux-testing-mirrorlist

[biglinux-stable]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/biglinux-stable-mirrorlist

[biglinux-extra]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/biglinux-extra-mirrorlist

biglinux-priority comes before the Manjaro repositories: it holds the BigLinux builds of packages that also exist in Manjaro, so ours win. biglinux-testing is optional: it receives packages before biglinux-stable. biglinux-extra holds AUR and third-party packages.

There is one file per repository because pacman only expands $repo (the section name, e.g. biglinux-stable) and $arch in a server URL, while the directories on the server are priority, testing, stable and extra.

Files

File	Installed to
biglinux-priority-mirrorlist	/etc/pacman.d/biglinux-priority-mirrorlist
biglinux-testing-mirrorlist	/etc/pacman.d/biglinux-testing-mirrorlist
biglinux-stable-mirrorlist	/etc/pacman.d/biglinux-stable-mirrorlist
biglinux-extra-mirrorlist	/etc/pacman.d/biglinux-extra-mirrorlist

The files are marked as backup in the package: local edits are kept on upgrade (pacman saves the new version as .pacnew).

Adding a mirror

Add a Server = line to each file, in order of preference, and build a new version of the package. The version comes from the build date.

The packages are signed: see biglinux-keyring to trust the BigLinux key.
