At work, I have problems installing msys2 packages. I don't know what's going on, but downloads fail regularly. Rather than worry too much about it, I'd like to just create a local mirror of the repository and use that. What would I need to do that?
Specifically: 1. Where do I download "the repository"? 2. What do I need to do to configure pacman to use my mirror rather than the main repo? 3. What's involved in checking for changes in the main repo? Are there any tools available for maintaining a mirror like this? On a somewhat related note, there seem to be some packages (for example "file") that are in https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages but not in the repository. Is that deliberate, and if so is there any way of knowing why some packages aren't available via the repository?
