🍵 MIrrorList Check
A simple program that displays the status of your pacman mirrorlist and the Arch Linux lastest news right in your terminal
How ?

and retrieves
the corresponding data from the official
mirror status page.
The latest news are directly scraped from https://archlinux.org/.
Why ?
As explained in the
mirror doc, 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

It's not
..an additional mirrorlist ranking utility.
