Pacrepo ReadMe

Collection of pacman-related tools.

Overview

This project includes the following tools:

• pacrepo: Run pacman against a single repo

• addpkg: Add a package to a repo

• rmpkg: Remove a package from a repo

• pacpatch: Patches config files after pacman update

Install

Pacrepo can be installed from the AUR.

Configure

The config file is at /etc/pacrepo.conf. You can define the following options within it:

REPOS=( [name]=/path [name2]=host:/path …​ )

A list of repositories for addpkg and rmpkg to manage. name is the name of the repository in CONFIG, /path is the full path to the repository on the filesystem, and host (optional) is the ip address or host name of the system the repository lives on.

When a repository is configured with a host, addpkg and rmpkg will use multiple invocations of ssh and scp to manipulate the repository, so you will probably want to use something like ssh-agent or GSSAPI authentication to avoid entering your password multiple times.

Default: REPOS=()

REPO=<repo>

The repository that addpkg, rmpkg, and pacrepo should use by default.

Default: REPO=custom

CONFIG=/path/to/pacman.conf

The path to the configuration file containing the options and repositories that pacrepo should use.

Default: CONFIG=/etc/pacman.conf
