Feature Request : Allow disabling of Pamac scheduled mirrorlist regeneration and package cache cleaning #408

Closed sueridgepipe closed 6 years ago

sueridgepipe commented 6 years ago

There are two Pamac system timer services that schedule the auto mirrorlist generation and auto cache cleaning.

pamac-cleancache.timer
pamac-mirrorlist.timer

I keep disabling these services, but they keep being re-enabled by Pamac. Annoyingly there is no way to disable this, short of masking the services.

Please add Pamac configuration options to disable the scheduled auto regeneration of the mirrorlist and cleaning of the package cache, allowing the above systemd timer services to stay disabled if so desired.

Thx.

Is anything being done about this?

Every bloody time pamac updates it adds these services which clobbers my mirrorlist and my package cache.

Please provide a mechanism to disable this automatic behaviour in Pamac settings.

Masking all pamac services doesn't help, next pamac update and the bloody things are recreated. Ridiculous.

It was a PKGBUILD issue, it should be fixed now https://github.com/manjaro/packages-extra/commit/efd130f5d294fd8c2a098d3101118e1ca457f66f
