![milcheck](https://github.com/doums/milcheck/assets/6359431/939c72ac-72f8-4ade-8155-ec8f66ba3c0b)

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

```
