Arch Linux repository¶
Prologin has setup an Arch Linux package repository to ease of use of custom packages and AUR content.
Usage¶
Add the following section to the /etc/pacman.conf file:
[prologin]
Server = https://repo.prologin.org/
Then, trust the repository signing keys:
$ wget https://repo.prologin.org/prologin.pub
$ pacman-key --add prologin.pub
$ pacman-key --lsign-key prologin
Finally, test the repository:
$ pacman -Sy
You should see “prologin” in the list of synchronized package databases.
Uploading packages¶
Only the owner of the repository’s private key and ssh access to repo@prologin.org can upload packages.
To import the private key to your keystore:
$ ssh repo@prologin.org 'gpg --export-secret-keys --armor F4592F5F00D9EA8279AE25190312438E8809C743' | gpg --import
$ gpg --edit-key F4592F5F00D9EA8279AE25190312438E8809C743
Trust fully the key.
Then, build the package you want to upload locally using makepkg. Once the
package is built, use pkg/upload2repo.sh to sign it, update the database
and upload it.
Example usage:
$ cd quake3-pak0.pk3
$ makepkg
$ ~/rosa-sadm/pkg/upload2repo.sh quake3-pak0.pk3-1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
You can then install the package like any other:
# pacman -Sy quake3-pak0.pk3
$ quake3
Enjoy!
More information¶
The repository content is stored in rosa:~repo/www. Use your Prologin SADM
credentials when asked for a password or a passphrase.
