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](https://www.archlinux.org/mirrors/status/).The last news are directly scraped from https://archlinux.org/.
### Why ?
As explained in the
[mirror doc](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mirrors), 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.
### Install
- latest [release](https://github.com/doums/milcheck/releases/latest)
- AUR [package](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/milcheck)### Usage
By default, milcheck prints the mirrorlist status
```
milcheck
```In addition, it can fetch and print the Arch Linux
[latest news](https://archlinux.org/), handy to stay informed:```
milcheck -n5
```Example: print both mirrorlist and the latest news
```
milcheck -m -n1
