Can you post a copy of the output? I'm using reflector and rankmirrors, and

These are obviously not reachable URLs, but pacman fills in $repo and $arch
from pacman.conf so it's working just fine for me.

Dear Archers,

is it true that rankmirrors can't handle mirrorlist urls like
ftp://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch?

While pacman works fine with this format, rankmirrors produces
unreachable
URLs.

Or am I misunderstanding something here?

Rock on,
Mathias

Here's my first six. The gatech one didn't have a package at one point,
rankmirrors sorted the whole US list.

They are in alphabetical order... This is known and fixed in git. We will probably make a new pacman release soon.
