creating groups in local repo

nightfrost · 2005-09-27 10:03:55

I figured I would create a local repo for myself with custom built kernels and some other stuff. I can't figure out how to have groups in my repo. I have packaged a few xfs-related packages (xfsprogs, xfsdump, and their dependencies), and I would like them to be installed with a simple pacman -S xfs-tools.

What I did was to create xfs-tools under pkgbuilds/ and copy the respective directories containing pkgbuilds to that destination, but there's still no group called xfs-tools after pacman -Suy. I probably completely misunderstood something. I'd like to know what. Thanks.

have you added it to /etc/pacman.conf?

you also need to create a database of packages, sure its on the wiki cant remeber the commande myself ,sri

Thanks for the reply. I've done all that, using gensync (it's all in man pacman), so I can pacman -S my packages. I just don't know how to add groups to the database. I was of the impression that this was done with the use of directories (just the way it looks like in /var/abs/current, for example)...

You add the groups in the PKGBUILD. Try looking at my pkgbuilds for e17 stuff: http://archpkg.wgilk.com/pkgbuild
