README

        
This is a quick way to set up an Arch Linux Pacman repository, hosted on Amazon

S3 or an equivalent service.  It can also be easily modified to use SSH/SCP to

upload files to a more traditional web server, or a local machine.

It allows you to run your own repository, so that you can use `pacman` to

install your own packages, and have them easily upgraded when you publish

updates.

### Use ###

1. Inside the `public` folder, create one subdirectory for each repo you wish

   to establish.

2. Inside this folder, create another one for each architecture you wish to

   support, e.g. `i686`, `x86_64`, etc.

3. Copy `Makefile.config.sample` to `Makefile.config` and update as required.

4. Build your packages as normal, and put the output `.xz` files into the

   relevant repo's architecture folder from step 2 (see below for an example).

5. Run `make` to construct the repo's database and upload it.

6. As packages are updated, copy them in as per steps 4 and 5.  You can delete

   the old `.xz` files if you wish, or leave them around for a while in case

   anyone is looking for older versions if they need to downgrade.

### Example ###

If uploading to `s3://example.com/hello/` and the repo defined in

`Makefile.config` is called `myrepo`, then anyone wishing to use the repo will

need to add this to `/etc/pacman.conf`:

    [myrepo]

    SigLevel = Optional TrustAll

    Server = http://example.com/hello/$repo/$arch/

Run `pacman -Sy` to read in the new repo, after which you can install any

packages from it with the usual `pacman -S packagename`.

#### Example folder structure ####

Once you have created the relevant folders, the tree should look similar to

this:

    ./Makefile

    ./Makefile.config

    ./README.md

    ./public/

    ./public/myrepo/

    ./public/myrepo/x86_64/

    ./public/myrepo/x86_64/mypackage-1.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

    ./public/myrepo/i686/

    ./public/myrepo/i686/mypackage-1.0-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz
