WARNING

This needs a server-side script which I am not hosting. To host it yourself the code is in the node_server_script (used on a hosted nodejs app).

Arch Package Sync

Used to move a list of installed packages between computers. Typically this is used when installing on a new computer, to mirror the same package installation.

Steps

ON SOURCE COMPUTER

• Download the main.py script
• Make it executable
• Run it with no parameters to upload you package lists
• A url including your username will be given to you. You will need this for the destination computer

ON DESTINATION COMPUTER

• Same as above, but download the package lists using the -i parameter and your id. e.g: ./main.py -i <username> where is your username from before.
• This will save two files to your current directory, Pacman_Packages and AUR_Packages. You can then use them to install through pacman and yaort (or your prefered AUR helper).
