archPackages

Build a package repository for Arch Linux. It succeeds the nafets227/internetBuild repository, that used to do a similar job on local Jenkins.

usage

edit /etc/pacman.conf and append the config for our repo

[nafets227-archPackages]
SigLevel = Optional
Server = https://nafets227.github.io/archPackages

After that, running

pacman -Sy

should work and you can start to install packages from this repo (e.g. blktrace) in the usual way, e.g. with

pacman -S blktrace

chosing github pages as hosting

In previous versions packages and package-repo was made available for download using github releases. Unfortunately github releases is limiting the characters used in filenames. In detail, it transforms any colon ':' into a dot '.'. Since colons are used in arch package filenames, whenever the epoch field is set for the specific package, these package can never be downloaded by pacman.

In order to overcome this limitation, we moved to github pages to host our package repo.
