PKGBUILD

Use GitHub Actions for building and packaging a few AUR packages and deploy them to GitHub Releases so it can be used as a repository in Arch Linux. Based on cromerc/aurci.

Using as a pacman repository

To use as custom repository in Arch Linux, add to file /etc/pacman.conf:

[PKGBUILD]
SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
Server = https://github.com/djpohly/PKGBUILD/releases/download/repository

NOTE: List of currently maintained packages can change at any moment. If you trust the djp-keyring package, you can update SigLevel to Required TrustedOnly.

Customizing

To build AUR packages of your own selection, fork this repository. The master branch contains most of the build actions.

Fork this GitHub repository.
Create a release (name currently hardcoded as "repository") in which your package repository will be stored.
Generate a personal access token with scope public_repo.
In repository settings, add this token as a secret with the name PUSH_TOKEN.
If you would like to enable package and repository signing:
- Create a PGP key for signing.
- Generate a random hex key and initialization vector (IV) with which to encrypt the PGP key.
- Add these encryption secrets as repository secrets called ENCRYPTION_KEY and ENCRYPTION_IV.
- Encrypt your signing key using openssl aes-256-cbc and your chosen key/IV. Replace signing.key.enc with this file and commit.
For each package you would like to build, use git merge --allow-unrelated-histories to merge the package's branch from the AUR with the pkgbase branch from this repository. This will enable you to pull updates from both the AUR and the pkgbase branch.
Each time you push an update to the repository, the package will be built and uploaded, and the repository updated.
