Arch on GitHub
An experiment to create an Arch custom repository, building packages from the AUR and hosting them via GitHub Releases.
It uses Travis Cron Jobs to re-build these packages every day.
Usage
To use this "repository", include the following in your /etc/pacman.conf:
[github]
SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
Server = https://github.com/AlexandreCarlton/arch-on-github/releases/download/latest
Building packages
To build the base Docker image used to build our packages and interact with GitHub's REST endpoints:
make build-image
To then build our repository, storing the contents in ./repo:
make repo
To add or delete packages, simply modify packages.txt.
In our .travis.yml file, we then delete both the latest
release and remote tag and then re-deploy.
