# GENERAL OPTIONS
#
[options]
# The following paths are commented out with their default values listed.
# If you wish to use different paths, uncomment and update the paths.
# RootDir = /
# DBPath = /var/lib/pacman/
# CacheDir = /var/cache/pacman/pkg/
# LogFile = /var/log/pacman.log
# GPGDir = /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/
# HookDir = /etc/pacman.d/hooks/
HoldPkg = pacman glibc
# XferCommand = /usr/bin/curl -L -C - -f -o %o %u
# XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u
# CleanMethod = KeepInstalled
Architecture = auto
IgnorePkg = systemd-libs systemd linux linux-headers binutils

# Misc options
# UseSyslog
# Color
# TotalDownload
CheckSpace
# VerbosePkgLists
# SyncFirst = obarun-keyring archlinux-keyring
# By default, pacman accepts packages signed by keys that its local keyring
# trusts (see pacman-key and its man page), as well as unsigned packages.
SigLevel = Required
LocalFileSigLevel = Optional
# RemoteFileSigLevel = Required
# NOTE: You must run `pacman-key --init` before first using pacman; the local
# keyring can then be populated with the keys of all official Arch Linux
# packagers with `pacman-key --populate archlinux`.
#
# REPOSITORIES
# - can be defined here or included from another file
# - pacman will search repositories in the order defined here
# - local/custom mirrors can be added here or in separate files
# - repositories listed first will take precedence when packages
# have identical names, regardless of version number
# - URLs will have $repo replaced by the name of the current repo
# - URLs will have $arch replaced by the name of the architecture
#
# Repository entries are of the format:
# [repo-name]
# Server = ServerName
# Include = IncludePath
#
# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.
#
# The testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the
# repo name header and Include lines. You can add preferred servers immediately
# after the header, and they will be used before the default mirrors.
