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 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 themaintenance
target (or justmake
) - The package lists (
aur-packages
andrepo-urls
) - The
repo/luzifer.asc
public key
It currently relies on my luzifer/arch-repo-builder
docker image which does all of the building within a clean environment for each package.
For the initial setup you need to do some steps:
- Adjust the
Makefile
as you need differentdownload
andupload
targets - Create an empty database
tar -cJf repo/luzifer.db.tar.xz -T /dev/null
(adjust the filename) - Put the public key for your repo into
repo/luzifer.asc
(filename should match the database, makes it easier to find) - Set up your
aur-packages
andrepo-urls
package listsaur-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 theMakefile
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
- For
aur-packages
having dynamicpkgver
calculation the update check will not work properly until thePKGBUILD
in AUR is updated (those packages can be built manually usingbash ./scripts/update-aur.sh <packagename> && make do_cleanup upload
- For
repo-urls
the same applies: for example myvim-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 tobash ./scripts/update-repo.sh <url> && make do_cleanup upload
is required
