Request Feature
mirro-rs provides a TUI to help you better visualise managing your mirrorlist.
## Features
- Sorting
- Completion - The number of mirror checks (as a percentage) that have successfully connected and disconnected from the given URL. If this is below 100%, the mirror may be unreliable.
- Score - It is currently calculated as (hours delay + average duration + standard deviation) / completion percentage. _Lower is better_.
- Standard deviation - The standard deviation of the connect and retrieval time. A high standard deviation can indicate an unstable or overloaded mirror.
- Delay - The mean value of last check − last sync for each check of this mirror URL. Due to the timing of mirror checks, any value under one hour should be viewed as ideal.
- Rate - sort by download speed
- Filtering
- Age
- Country
- ipv4, ipv6, isos
- Protocol - `http`, `https`, `ftp` or `rsync`
- Completion Percentage
## Getting Started
### Installation
Install from the Arch Linux official repository:
```sh
pacman -S mirro-rs
```
`mirro-rs` is also available in the AUR. If you're using `paru`:
```sh
paru -S mirro-rs-git
```
> **Note**
> By default, this enables [configuration](#configuration) through `toml` files. You should edit the `PKGBUILD` if you prefer another configuration format (or to disable configuration files altogether).
### Manual Compilation
- cargo
You need to have `cargo` installed to build the application. The easiest way to set this up is installing `rustup`.
```sh
pacman -S rustup
```
Install a rust toolchain:
```sh
rustup install stable
```
- git
Clone the repository:
```sh
git clone https://github.com/rtkay123/mirro-rs
```
You may then build the release target:
```sh
cargo build --release
```
### Usage
Pass the `-h` or `--help` flag to mirro-rs to view configuration parameters.
To preview `http` or `https` mirrors that were successfully synchronised in the last 24 hours and use `/home/user/mirrorlist` as an export location for the best (at max) 50:
```sh
mirro-rs --export 50 --protocols https --protocols http --age 24 --outfile "/home/user/mirrorlist"
```
To do the same but restrict the sources to be from France and the UK:
```sh
mirro-rs --export 50 --protocols https --protocols http --age 24 --outfile "/home/user/mirrorlist" -c France -c "United Kingdom"
```
#### Configuration
For convenience, mirro-rs optionally supports reading a configuration `[default: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mirro-rs/mirro-rs.toml]` for general preferences. If none is available, `[default: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mirro-rs.toml]` will be used. If both are available, the former takes priority.
For `toml` support:
```sh
cargo build --release --features toml
```
For `json` support:
```sh
cargo build --release --features json
```
Likewise, for `yaml` support:
```sh
cargo build --release --features yaml
```
> **Note**
> If you enable all configuration file features, if the configuration directory contains more than one valid file format, the order of priority goes from `toml` -> `json` -> `yaml`.
Sample configuration files are provided in the [examples](examples) folder.
A minimal `mirro-rs.toml` config file could look like:
```toml
cache-ttl = 24
timeout = 10
```
> **Note**
> Changing the configuration file at runtime will overwrite the parameters that were set as CLI arguments
