My custom repo

picpak · 2006-12-27 22:03:45

Man, you sure can learn a lot with this thing. At the beginning of the month I was stuck in a terminal for two days with no idea what to do. Now I've set up my own repo! Currently it has:

kim@komputer:~ pacman -Sl picpak
picpak audacity-beta 1.3.2-1
picpak dbus 1.0.2-1
picpak frostwire 4.13.1-1
picpak gqview 2.0.4-1
picpak gzip 1.3.9-1
picpak mingetty 1.07-1
picpak opera-static 9.10-1
picpak realplayer 10.0.8.805-1

To use it, put

[picpak]
Server = http://samztercomix.com/kim/archlinux/packages

in your /etc/pacman.conf. To get some packages properly updated, I had to put it as my first repo in the list.

I have NO guarantee that these will work for you. Heck, I have enough trouble guaranteeing it works for me. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!!

Why do you have to provide packages for apps that are already in the official repos?

[current]: dbus, gqview, gzip
[extra]: frostwire,
[community]: opera-static

I know that some of the packages in your repo are more up-to-date than the ones in the official repos but that doesn't really count as a reason in including packages that are already in the official repos. Also, your packages might break an Arch system. Just browse AUR to see which apps you should actually provide a package for. Just a thought...

Exactly, I made updated versions for my own use. They can (and probably will) break your system, that's why I make no guarantee. For instance, I had to pull my update of Frostwire because it conflicted with the current version.

My repo's changed a lot since then, currently it contains:

kim@komputer:~ pacman -Sl picpak
picpak audacity-beta 1.3.2-1
picpak audacity-cvs 20070115-1
picpak dbus 1.0.2-2
picpak exo-svn 24534-1
picpak gaimpd-svn 17-1
picpak gqview 2.0.4-1
picpak gtk-candido-engine 0.9.1-1
picpak gzip 1.3.9-2
picpak hotwayd 0.8.4-1
picpak opera-static 9.10-1
picpak realplayer 10.0.8.805-1
picpak thunar-svn 24534-1
picpak thunar-volman-svn 2384-2

FYI: audacity-beta is the 1.3.2 release, audacity-cvs is the cvs snapshot. I haven't seen any differences yet, but if there are any it's in audacity-cvs.
