Add CLI flag to show repo mirror address

$ pikaur -Vq
Pikaur v1.30.3
Pacman v7.0.0 - libalpm v15.0.0 - pyalpm v0.10.6

Description:

Is it possible to show mirror address while updating bases?

I made a bash alias for myself, it works for years without an issue:

getnews () { echo; echo -ne '\033[0;34m:: \033[0m\033[1mMirror: '; grep -m1 Server /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist | cut  -d'/' -f3; echo -e '\033[0m'; pikaur -Syu --noedit; }

And it looks like:

$ getnews
:: Mirror: mirror.hugo-betrugo.de

:: Synchronising package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 archrepo is up to date
....

Mirror updates once a day through reflector.

Could you add showing mirror server with -m option?

the idea itself sounds a bit weird to me, but i'll leave the issue hanging open for a while to see if it will gain any popularity from other pikaur users

btw your grep expression is not okay:

$ echo -ne '\033[0;34m:: \033[0m\033[1mMirror: '; grep -m1 Server /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist | cut  -d'/' -f3; echo -e '\033[0m';
:: Mirror: # Server list generated by rankmirrors on 2024-09-28

should be smth like that:

$ echo -ne '\033[0;34m:: \033[0m\033[1mMirror: '; grep -m1 '^[^#]*Server.*=' /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist | cut  -d'/' -f3; echo -e '\033[0m';
