Changing Mirrors

Each repository has a file defining the URL for the mirror used. For official repositories, these files are installed by the package manager in /usr/share/xbps.d, but if duplicate files are found in /etc/xbps.d, those values are used instead.

To modify mirror URLs cleanly, copy all the repository configuration files to /etc/xbps.d and change the URLs in each copied repository file.

/etc/xbps.d/ # sed -i 's|https://alpha.de.repo.voidlinux.org|<repository>|g'
/etc/xbps.d/*-repository-*.conf ```

After changing the URLs, you must synchronize xbps with the new mirrors:

``` # xbps-install -S ```

You should see the new repository URLs while synchronizing. You can also use
`xbps-query` to verify the repository URLs, but only after they have been
synchronized:

$ xbps-query -L 9970 https://alpha.de.repo.voidlinux.org/current (RSA signed) 27 https://alpha.de.repo.voidlinux.org/current/multilib/nonfree (RSA signed) 4230 https://alpha.de.repo.voidlinux.org/current/multilib (RSA signed) 47 https://alpha.de.repo.voidlinux.org/current/nonfree (RSA signed) 5368 https://alpha.de.repo.voidlinux.org/current/debug (RSA signed)

Remember that repositories added afterwards will also need to be changed, or
they will use the default mirror.
