Re: Createing your own repo

I managed to make a simple repo, now I'm currently not sure what my next requirements are for now.
But will update this topic if I get any info.

Thank you in forward.

Re: Createing your own repo

Users here are generally happy to help others understand the steps outlined in the wiki - but you have to specify what is not clear.  Saying "This guide sucks, give me a different one" is not going to lead to productive outcomes.  Why would a new one someone provided for you be any different than what is already in the wiki unless you can elaborate what is not clear in the existing guide?

Re: Createing your own repo

I think you are confusing the goal of the guide you linked. This guide is for mirroring the archlinux repositories, not for creating a local repository for your own packages. For that, see [1] and read the man page of repo add.

Re: Createing your own repo

Do you have any suggestion for Repo Managment (Tool) ?

Re: Createing your own repo

Repo-add and repo-remove which are shipped with the pacman package are the basic tools. The rest is scripting as I don't know of any repo management tools. The script will most likely involve something like

#!/bin/sh
makepkg -src
mv *.pkg.* $YOURREPO

You'll have to find something to clear up the build directory and remove the old versions of a package.
