# Arch Linux Repository
A set of meta-packages and tooling for managing Arch Linux installs via a custom
repository.
`pkg/mdaffin` contains the meta-packages for my systems and do not strictly
follow the Arch Linux packaging guidelines. Instead, I designed the packages
for easy maintenance. I will sometimes change the contents of the meta-packages
to suite my requirements, as such you should not use them directly. Instead use
them as a base for creating your own meta-packages.
The `installer` directory contains installers for my different system with
`installer/install-arch` containing the general purpose installer. Use this as
a base for creating your own. You can install them from a normal Arch Linux ISO
with curl and bash such as the following (using git.io URL shortener to make it
easier to type).
**WARNING** This will wipe a drive and install Arch Linux on it. **DO NOT** run
unless you have read through it first.
```bash
curl -sL https://git.io/vAoV8 | bash
```

## Contributing
I welcome fixes for bugs or better ways of doing something. But these packages
and installers are for my personal use and as such I will not approve pull
requests for features I do not need. Feel free to raise issues if you want help
with your own packages, have an interesting idea, want some clarification or
want to discuss something generally.
## Requirements
- A bucket/space on [Amazon S3] or [Digital Ocean]
- The packages `s3cmd` and `devtools`
A token from Amazon S3 or Digital Ocean spaces in `~/.s3cfg` as
```ini
[default]
access_key =
secret_key =
```
[amazon s3]: https://aws.amazon.com/s3/
[digital ocean]: https://m.do.co/c/8fba3fc95fef
## Build all packages
Builds all local packages in `pkg/` and uploads them to the remote repository.
```bash
./bin/build
```
You can build one or more packages rather then all packages by specifying the
path to each package.
```bash
./bin/build pkg/mdaffin-{base,devel}
```
## Managing AUR Packages
Use the `aursync` wrapper script to add/update packages from AUR.
```bash
# build and install one or more packages
./bin/sync
# update all aur packages
./bin/sync -u
```
## Removing a Package
To remove a package from the repository run the following.
```bash
./bin/remove
```
