termux-apt-repo

---------------

Script to create `Termux `__ package repos.

It can be used to publish cross-compiled packages created using the

`Termux build setup `__ or

with packages created (possibly on-device) with

`termux-create-package `__.

Usage instructions

------------------

In Termux, install with ``pkg install termux-apt-repo`` and execute

as:

::

    termux-apt-repo [-h] [--use-hard-links] input output [dist] [comp]

    

    positional arguments:

    input             folder where .deb files are located

    output            folder with repository tree

    dist              name of distribution folder. deb files are put into

                      output/dists/distribution/component/binary-$ARCH/

    comp              name of component folder. deb files are put into

                      output/dists/distribution/component/binary-$ARCH/

    optional arguments:

    -h, --help        show this help message and exit

    --use-hard-links  use hard links instead of copying deb files. Will not work

                      on an android device

    -s --sign         sign repo with GPG key

When using outside Termux (the script should work on most Linux

distributions), install with ``pip3 install termux-apt-repo``.

All the .deb files in the first directory will be published to a newly

created APT repository in the second directory (which will be deleted if

it exists, so take caution).

Publishing the generated folder

-------------------------------

The published folder can be made available at a publicly accessible

``$REPO_URL`` using any method:

1. By running termux-apt-repository on a web server directly.

2. Using rsync:

   ``rsync --delete -r  your.host:path/to/folder``.

3. Creating a zip or tar file and unpacking it at a web server.

4. Any other creative way.

It can also be published using e.g. `GitHub

pages `__.

Accessing the repository

------------------------

With the created ```` available at

``$REPO_URL``, users can access repo by creating a file:

::

    $PREFIX/etc/apt/sources.list.d

containing the single line:

::

    deb [trusted=yes] $REPO_URL $dist $comp

``[trusted=yes]`` is needed if the repo has not been signed with a gpg key.

To sign it, pass ``--sign`` argument. The signing key then has to be imported by

the user to make apt trust it.
