Default Pacoloco config
Then there's no man page, and the info available on https://github.com/anatol/pacoloco was confusing to me as well. I think there may be a language interpenetration related barrier at play here.

Can i maintain arch with a limited data plan ?
If you have multiple systems, take a look at pacoloco. It won't save you from having to download the updates once, but after you update one computer, the others sharing the same packages can download from the cache. If you have numerous machines running arch, this will save you a LOT of bandwidth.

pacoloco urls vs mirrorlist
Hello, I've just been trying to get pacoloco installed and running on my network, and I seem to have it working with more or less the defaults, but i'm confused about one thing.

Why do i need to re-download base package when the ISO installer have it already?
The much simpler solution is if you want to save bandwidth, for example if you are installing Arch on a bunch of machines is to either create your own Arch install on removable media (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Install_Arch_Linux_on_a_removable_medium) with a local repository with the packages you want (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/pacman/Tips_and_tricks) or a networked shared pacman cache. I like pacoloco (https://github.com/anatol/pacoloco), but there are others.

Paralelle Donwloads for Pacman
Try https://github.com/anatol/pacoloco pacman cache server and see if you still have these errors. I pretty much sure pacoloco works at RPi.

When will pacman with parallel download capability go 'stable' in the main repo?
Parallel download would especially help people who have multiple repos with different speed. e.g. some part of packages is cached locally with pacoloco while other packages need to be fetched via slow high-latency connection.

Finally set up a proper shared local pacman cache, pacoloco in an nspawn container
I'll also continue to use my script https://github.com/Cody-Learner/prep4ud to pre-download updatable packages to /var/cache/pacman/pkg on each machine.

Switch to the base-devel meta package requires manual intervention
Here's a script https://github.com/Cody-Learner/prep4ud to download updates in the background safely. There's also an official package pacman-contrib, which has the checkupdates script, --download option.
- Is there anything I could do so that `pacman`/`paru` show also the current version of the packages that are about to get updated?
- Pacman is so Fast
