# /etc/pacsync.conf
#
+#
+# From here you can configure pacsync to follow a certain package tree.
+# Typically this is either 'stable' or 'current', but you can pick
+# specific versions as well (eg, '0.2'). Read below for the structure.
+#
+
+# Arch Linux servers follow this directory structure:
+#
+# 0.1
+# |- iso
+# | |- i686
+# |- os
+# | |- i686
+# 0.2
+# |- iso
+# | |- i686
+# |- os
+# | |- i686
+# 0.3
+# |- iso
+# | |- i686
+# |- os
+# | |- i686
+# current -> 0.3/os/i686
+# stable -> 0.2/os/i686
+#
+#
+# Set your SYNC_SERVER according to the version you wish to follow. For
+# example, if you simply wish to follow the stable branch (whatever version
+# it may be), then you can set SYNC_SERVER as follows:
+#
+# SYNC_SERVER="ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/archlinux/stable"
+#
+# Other examples:
+# SYNC_SERVER="ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/archlinux/0.2/os/i686"
+# SYNC_SERVER="ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/archlinux/0.3/os/i686"
+# SYNC_SERVER="ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/archlinux/current"
+#
+
+
+#
+# SYNC_SERVER: the full location of the package repository (ftp or http)
+#
+SYNC_SERVER="ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/archlinux/current"
+
#
-# the full URL of the server (up to the /arch package directory)
+# OTHER LOCATIONS (MIRRORS)
#
-# (note: ibiblio.org will be fastest; please use it)
+# Note: ibiblio.org will typically be fastest. Please stick with them unless
+# you've got a good reason to change.
