Arch Linux Mirror (pacman repository) in Iran

Arch Linux mirror (pacman repository) — For Arch updates in Iran, Rasanegaar Mirror keeps the rolling-release repo close to your desktops and servers — so every pacman -Syu need not depend on distant mirrors.

About Arch Linux

Arch Linux is a rolling-release distribution with pacman; many users update almost daily. core, extra, and multilib move constantly, and every pacman -Syu moves real traffic.

Mirror lag means slow downloads or packages that no longer match the database. For rolling release, a nearby, regularly refreshed mirror in Iran is about reliability as much as speed.

Official ISOs and images are served from the same tree — fresh installs or recovery media need not pull from abroad.

Arch mirror in Iran

The Arch mirror in Iran at mirror.rasanegaar.com/archlinux serves the same official layout so pacman pulls from Rasanegaar’s software repository.

The tree is live — browse the listing, check size and last update, and switch with one script or a few lines in your mirrorlist.

Use this Server line for pacman: https://mirror.rasanegaar.com/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch — pacman fills $repo and $arch itself.

How to use the Arch mirror

The switch script is the fastest path; if you prefer to edit by hand, follow the manual steps below.

Switch with script

curl -fsSL https://mirror.rasanegaar.com/scripts/switch-arch.sh | sudo bash

Manual steps

  1. Back up your mirrorlist:

    /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

  2. Put the Rasanegaar Server line above the others (or temporarily comment the rest):

    Server = https://mirror.rasanegaar.com/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch

  3. Refresh databases and packages from the local mirror:

    sudo pacman -Syu

Updating Arch in Iran

Updating Arch in Iran against Rasanegaar Mirror usually feels smoother than geo.mirror.pkgbuild.com or European mirrors — especially when several hosts run -Syu at once.

After switching, keep your normal pacman routine; only the package origin changed. If pacman complains about an out-of-date mirror, check this page’s last-update facts first.

Single-package installs use the same mirror — for example sudo pacman -S vim.

Revert to official repository

If you need official upstream again:

curl -fsSL https://mirror.rasanegaar.com/scripts/revert-arch.sh | sudo bash
