This is very bad since the order is important for prioritizing one repo over the other.

Is this intentional or a bug?

Thanks!

According to https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php/Build_Manjaro_ISOs_with_buildiso we can add multiple custom repos in the user-repos.conf file. But regardless of the order you add them to this file, they will be added alphabetically under pacman.conf. This is very bad since the order is important for prioritizing one repo over the other. Is this intentional or a bug? Thanks!

Hmm ... never heard of this before - in fact I never heard of anyone adding more than one repo 😄

If prioritising one repo over another you can name them - just be sure the database is named the same way

[02-custom]
Server = ...

[01-custom]
Server = ...

Let's say it is intentional thus it is not going to change.

If you feel it more like a bug - I suggest please fork the project - you can use Github - then create a feature branch - refactor the code.

Then come back with a link to your feature branch - and I will look at it.
