Expand description

Inputs:

  • mirrors: Mirror rows from discovery or trusted caller-owned metadata.
  • maximum_mirrors: Explicit cap on generated server lines.

Output:

  • Pacman-compatible Server = .../$repo/os/$arch lines for active HTTPS mirrors, sorted and deduplicated.

Details:

  • Invalid, inactive, non-HTTPS, oversized, and duplicate base URLs are excluded. No file is written and no command is executed.
  • The generated output is independently bounded by MAX_MIRRORLIST_BYTES.

ยงErrors

Returns InvalidInput for a zero line limit or InputTooLong when valid input would exceed the generated-output bound.
