Hi all,

There's an open ticket to have the reflector package provide 
"pacman-mirrorlist" so that users can remove the latter: 
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/67653#comment193375

The problem is that the package does not include a mirrorlist and it will only 
create one if the user starts the provided service, which is entirely optional 
(I do not use it, for example). The dependency is thus not satisfied without 
user intervention.

I'm inclined to leave it as is (no provides) rather than risk broken pacman 
dependencies because a user forgot to run the service, but I'm still weighing 
the pros and cons. Does anyone here have an opinion or a suggestion of how to 
handle this elegantly?

Regards,
Xyne
