Add pacman settings #20

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Tor#Pacman

/etc/pacman.conf

... XferCommand = /usr/bin/curl --socks5-hostname localhost:9050 --continue-at - --fail --output %o %u ...

It would be nice to also add .onion mirrors to /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

but I only managed to find one working...

Hi @z36r2850o I really believe that archtorify should not interfere with the pacman.conf file, but I can put this instruction in the Wiki, thanks for your advice.

As far as I know there are no .onion mirrors for Arch Linux: https://archlinux.org/mirrors/status/ Maybe I'm wrong?

May I know why you think so?

Maybe I'm wrong?

And no, you won't find .onion mirrors on there. I'll leave links to them, but I must admit that they are unstable, so you shouldn't use them...

archtorify was born as a "clone" or mirror program of kalitorify, whose initial project was to create a KISS version of other similar scripts, eliminating everything that I considered unnecessary in such a program (like changing the MAC address, or clean up the RAM etc.), I believe that this must remain the basis of these program. Arch users know (or should know) how to modify pacman and update the system with or without Tor, without resorting to an automatic script.

I see that they are official mirrors anyway, thank you for pointing them out, as mentioned above I will post instructions in the Wiki.

The same applies to the entire Tor setup. But this does not mean that all these actions, in the presence of such a wonderful tool as archtorify, must be carried out manually every time.

Reasonable, I will take this parameter into consideration for future updates.
