### Default settings for reflector-simple
#
#
# Below you'll find the *default* values
# used by reflector-simple. The values below are shown as
# commented out since they are the defaults.
# These are simply options of the reflector app.
# Use command 'reflector --help' for more info about the options.
#
# Note:
# if your detected location (country) has Arch mirror(s),
# then (by default) it will be selected in reflector-simple.
#
# If your country has no Arch mirrors, then you must give
# one or more countries here or select in reflector-simple.
#
# Regardless of the above, you may give any selection
# of countries here.
############# Now the default values: ###############
## Save the resulting mirrorlist here:
#--save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
## How recent mirrorlist should be (in hours:)
--age 2
## Which protocols should be supported (https preferred):
--protocol http https
## How many mirrors (at most) you want in the list:
--number 23
## How to sort the ranked mirrorlist
## (e.g. 'rate' for speed, 'age' for newest packages):
--sort rate
## Choose countries. By default your local country
## will likely be detected.
## To see supported countries, use command 'reflector --list-countries'.
## Examples (note the different syntaxes):
--country Germany,Netherlands,Poland
## -cBR,FI,DE,NL
## --country "United States"
I see what you mean, reflector-simple does not initially show the http you might have in the config file. But it will use anyway it, as you can see in the resulting mirrorlist.
Not initially showing all values from the config file is a “known bug” in reflector-simple.
Hope I some day get to fix that too.
Fortunately reflector-simple still uses the values correctly, so one needs to remember (or check) what the values are in the config file.
it will double the entries when have --protocol http,https in config and then tag it in yad screen again…
and the same if I do have only https in config.
