Arch Personal Repository Viewer

shadowhand · 2005-10-10 06:24:59

I decided that I needed something like the AUR, but simpler, for my own website. The solution: The Arch Personal Repository Viewer, or APRV. It's KISS to the extreme, and will work on any PHP enabled server.

The best way to describe it is to show you. So, here it is, up and running on my own repository: http://archpkg.wgilk.com .

I'll be releasing the code in a few minutes, I just had to show it off a bit first. 8)

I still want to implement AJAX into it, but I was having trouble with it, so it didn't make it in yet. Also, I want to add a list of all the files (not just the pkgbuild) for each PKGBUILD to the "Browse Packbuilds" listing.

EDIT: Thanks for moving it. (DTW?)

Here's the code! You can find the tarball here: http://www.wgilk.com/linux/arch/apvr/

Unpack and read the README file. Setting it up is really simple, I promise. 8)

cactus has actually already made something like this....

Yours is admittedly prettier but cactus has mark out of date functionality and email notification in his - he just ported it to php/mysql for me too

shadowhand · 2005-10-10 16:06:14

I have no interest in having a MySQL dependency. I made APRV to be simple, with no frills, so that it would work in just about any situation.

I could have used the AUR code if I wanted lots of features.

dtw · 2005-10-10 16:29:54

Well, fair enough...however, I can achieve what APRV does with a bash script and lftp - which is even more dep free, you don't even need php so...maybe yours is bloated and frilly but under-powered at the same time

I don't normally like to be bitchy but when someone implies that something "better" is frivolous it is tempting to point out that the frivolity of their own contribution.

APRV and PRIMAL do different things - lets leave it at that tho.

shadowhand · 2005-10-10 16:40:37

Thanks DTW. Sometimes I need to get kicked in the arse.

BTW: The Primal install on your server is broken.

dtw · 2005-10-10 16:52:29

I know - it requires php5 currently cactus is looking at it - do you ever find thing son my server you think I would prefer people couldn't find? I thought my primal install was quite secluded

shadowhand · 2005-10-10 18:00:56

APRV updated to 0.0.2.
+ Added "Extra Sources" to the bottom of a viewed pkgbuild (extra files that aren't URL sources)
= Fixed the menu_top image saying "Arch User Repository Viewer"
= Version bump to 0.0.2

Source is here: aprv.0.0.2.tar.gz

DTW: did you ever click the [www] link on the bottom of your posts? It gives an index listing of your server.....

dtw · 2005-10-10 18:18:30

yeah, it's fucked

T-Dawg · 2005-10-10 18:32:21

you guys are entertaining

nice work shadowhand

shadowhand · 2005-10-10 19:35:28

*bows to DTW for being a partner in crime*

Thanks Penguin.

Here's the orginal primal, which I used to run - IIRC the only requirement is ruby.

shadowhand - cactus has completed his port of primal to php. Here is my install: http://dtw.jiwe.org/primal/

DO you think you would be intersted in a skinning the little rascal? My main interest in PRIMAL is to support AEGIS, not sure if that is any incentive - I imagine Archie would benefit from it too!

cactus · 2005-10-13 17:50:52

and put an image on it!

dtw · 2005-10-14 11:14:13

Shadow: I think you should switch the d/l pkg link for a Homepage link for the app using the url= field
