# Luzifer / archrepo
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This repository contains the setup and tools to maintain my "private" Archlinux repository with AUR packages and packages I rely on which does not have a place in AUR. This setup is intended for my own use and uses a clean build environment for each package.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> **Warning:** As I'm not a [Trusted User](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Trusted_Users) and this is not an official Archlinux repository you probably don't want to use this repository directly - at last you don't know whether those packages were tempered with. If you do please keep it civilized: if you plan to use the repository in build causing high amounts of traffic or many machines please don't or at least create a mirror.

|
## Setup
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This repository contains four essential parts:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- The `scripts` folder containing bash scripts to control all actions
|
||
|
|
- The `Makefile` to orchestrate everything. The main functionality is the `maintenance` target (or just `make`)
|
||
|
|
- The package lists (`aur-packages` and `repo-urls`)
|
||
|
|
- The `luzifer.asc` public key
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It currently relies on my [`luzifer/arch-repo-builder`](https://github.com/luzifer-docker/arch-repo-builder) docker image which does all of the building within a clean environment for each package and on [`repoctl`](https://github.com/cassava/repoctl) for some cleanup tasks (which is subject to change as I want the setup to be as self-contained as possible).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For the initial setup you need to do some steps:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Adjust the `Makefile` as you need different `download` and `upload` targets
|
||
|
|
- Create an empty database `tar -cJf luzifer.db.tar.xz -T /dev/null` (adjust the filename)
|
||
|
|
- Put the public key for your repo into `luzifer.asc` (filename should match the database, makes it easier to find)
|
||
|
|
- Set up your `aur-packages` and `repo-urls` package lists
|
||
|
|
- `aur-packages` contains just names of AUR packages (no comments or other stuff!)
|
||
|
|
- `repo-urls` contains one git repository URL per line (comments allowed)
|
||
|
|
- Provide a docker daemon and all tools listed in the `check_tools` target of the `Makefile`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Afterwards you should be good to just `make` your first build. Depending on the number of packages you selected to be in your repo you might go and fetch dinner while it builds.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Maintenance
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The repo should be updated on a regular base by just executing `make` on it. This will check for updates of the AUR packages specified in the `aur-packages` list and update them if their version is newer than the local one. Also it will check for new commits in the repos listed in `repo-urls` and build them if there are newer commits than those in the local cache.

## Flaws / Remarks / TODOs
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- The whole build already strongly relies on Archlinux tools so will not run on any other distro
|
||
|
|
- Currently `repoctl` as an external tool is used to clean up old packages and the package database. This shall be done by local scripts in the future.
|
||
|
|
- For `aur-packages` having dynamic `pkgver` calculation the update check will not work properly until the `PKGBUILD` in AUR is updated (those packages can be built manually using `bash ./scripts/update-aur.sh <packagename> && make do_cleanup upload`
|
||
|
|
- For `repo-urls` the same applies: for example my `vim-go-tools` package relies on periodic re-builds which are not executed as commits are quite rare. For those packages at the moment a call to `bash ./scripts/update-repo.sh <url> && make do_cleanup upload` is required
