Florian Pritz 644864de28 Remove scored based mirrorlist sorting
Users may use the returned mirror list as-is without sorting it
themselves. This may lead to the first mirror in the list being
overloaded. Prevent this by not returning a sorted list.

<h2>Pacman Mirrorlist Generator</h2>
<p>This page generates the most up-to-date mirrorlist possible for Arch
Linux. The data used here comes straight from the developers' internal
mirror database used to track mirror availability and tiering. There are
two main options: get a mirrorlist with every available mirror, or get a
mirrorlist tailored to your geography.</p>
<h3>Mirrorlist with all available mirrors</h3>
<p>An up-to-date mirrorlist is available containing all currently active
mirrors, optionally filtering by protocol. These URLs requires no GET or
POST parameters so they can be fetched from the command line if desired.<p>
<ul>
<li><a href="all/">All mirrors</a></li>
<li><a href="all/http/">All mirrors, HTTP only</a></li>
<li><a href="all/https/">All mirrors, HTTPS only</a></li>
</ul>
<h3>Customized by country mirrorlist</h3>
<p>The following form can generate a custom up-to-date
<a href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman"
title="ArchWiki: Pacman">pacman</a> mirrorlist based on geography and
desired protocol(s). Simply replace the contents of
<code>/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist</code> with your generated list.
Additionally, the mirror status data can be incorporated into the generated
mirror list and used to only list up to date mirrors.</p>
