[SOLVED] Accessing custom pacman repo through SSH

Hi,

I have created a local custom repository with

repo-add

on a server accessible only through SSH.

Is there a way to configure the clients'

/etc/pacman.conf

to access the files through SSH? I think pacman uses curl as its backend, so it would be technically possible to do this.

Thanks!

Re: [SOLVED] Accessing custom pacman repo through SSH

I ended up mounting the remote repo with SSHFS and adding it to `/etc/pacman.conf` as a local repo.

[remote-server]
SigLevel = Never
Server = file:///sshfs/to/remote/repo/$arch
