# Pacman

The following hooks are useful

```
pacman-cleanup-hook
pacman-mirrorlist
```

In addition, configure `reflector`(install first) to periodically update mirrorlist in `/etc/xdg/reflector/reflector.conf` with the following contents

```shell
# Reflector configuration file for the systemd service.
#
# Empty lines and lines beginning with "#" are ignored.  All other lines should
# contain valid reflector command-line arguments. The lines are parsed with
# Python's shlex modules so standard shell syntax should work. All arguments are
# collected into a single argument list.
#
# See "reflector --help" for details.

# Recommended Options

# Set the output path where the mirrorlist will be saved (--save).
--save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

# Select the transfer protocol (--protocol).
--protocol https

# Select the country (--country).
# Consult the list of available countries with "reflector --list-countries" and
# select the countries nearest to you or the ones that you trust. For example:
--country Germany

# Use only the  most recently synchronized mirrors (--latest).
--latest 10

# Sort the mirrors by synchronization time (--sort).
--sort score
```
