GhostMirror compares the mirror databases with the local database and provides a detailed description of whether the mirror’s packages are more or less up-to-date compared to our local database.
It can analyze the mirrors and display in-depth errors or the names of packages that are not updated.
Thanks to the custom sorting mode, it can create a list of mirrors based on each user’s needs.
If you don’t have time to update the mirror list manually, by adding a single command-line argument, the systemd service will be automatically activated. Feel free to forget about the mirrors.
This is free and open source software.
