Re: A more distributed AUR?

just to slip in: currently i have actually 27tb installed with 5x 3tb + 3x 4tb
why it shows only 21.8: the pool was created with a set of 3tb drives and that won't update until all drives got replaced
as for 24 vs 21.8: maths! 24.000.000.000.000 = 21.8 TiB
24TiB would be 26.388.279.066.624
so when i save up the coins for additional replacement drives that'll be 32TB = 29.1TiB
and even now 5TB are not "wasted" as such - but with only 250MBit/s it will take time and will be outdated during the download (which could make it fail anyway)

Re: A more distributed AUR?

@Lone_Wolf, what are you using, if I may ask? And what is the functionality you are missing?

There are 3 main areas m my workflow :
building packages for my own use
troubleshooting/bisecting
building/verifying packages for use by others

I use ccache, tools from pacman-contrib and some self-written small scripts . My custom local repo is used mainly in the first two areas.

In the first area makepkg is the main tool, for the 2nd its clean chroot manager, for the 3rd pkgctl &  extra-x86_64-build.

ccm supports ccache and allows me to combine my pacman.conf with devtools makepkg.conf .
It also has its own local_chroot repo that stores packages built with ccm .
In the past I used my own scripts for the 2nd area, but ccm makes it easier.

Aurutils lacks ccache support (devtools also doesn't have it) and doesn't fit my workflow well.
I'd have to change my workflow to use aurutils efficiently..
Not sure when aurutils was created but when I started with aur packages 15+ years ago it didn't exist.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

Well I guess you can go to sleep and touch the grass, came back and after the cloning I suppose every git pull will be far more faster than the original git clone time

So Sea Doggo user can be in the meantime:
