ArchLinux Package Repository

This repository contains an assortment of package builds for ArchLinux, mainly in support of setting up a complete, consistent system.

Check individual package folders for more specific information on their use and contents.

Prerequisites

It is assumed that a bare-minimal, bootable system is in place before any package here is installed; however, a long-running system with non-default system configuration might find this clashing with configuration installed by packages. Caveat emptor.

Adding Custom Repository

All packages defined here are available to install via a custom repository; to configure this on an existing ArchLinux system, first download and add the repository key to pacman:

$ curl --silent --fail -o - https://git.deuill.org/api/packages/deuill/arch/repository.key | pacman-key --add -

Ensure that the key was added correctly, and sign the key:

$ pacman-key --list-keys
$ pacman-key --lsign-key 'Arch Registry' # Or whatever the key name or ID was above.

Then, add the repository to the bottom of pacman.conf:

[deuill.git.deuill.org]
SigLevel = Required
Server = https://git.deuill.org/api/packages/deuill/arch/core/$arch

Running pacman -Sy should pull repository files correctly.

Keeping Updated

Having added the custom repository, any package installed here will be kept updated in future calls to pacman --sync --upgrade. However, certain packages will also install user configuration in /etc/skel, to be copied over to user home directories when users are created; the included skel-merge utility helps copy files over, allowing for local modifications.
