[SOLVED] I have a new arch repository

jcjordyn120 · 2016-01-07 21:14:17

I have a new arch repository. Most of it are the latest packages from the base and base-devel groups, And some of my custom stuff. Feel free to try it.
The repo name is jordyn-archlinux, and the url is jordynsblog.tk/packages/$repo/$arch.

Could you elaborate on the purpose? Why would someone (other than you) want to enable it?

Not an Arch discussion, moving to Community Contributions...

Thanks for moving to Community Contributions. It hosts my brightness daemon (for laptops where the brightness control keys dont work). It also has a entire copy of the base, base-devel. xorg, xorg-apps, xorg-drivers groups. Also these packages alsa-firmware, alsa-utils, pulseaudio, pulseaudio-alsa.

Also a few prebuilt aur packages.

You can understand the Moderators and users skepticism. Gotta agree w Jason, why anyone other than yourself would enable some unofficial software repo. Part of what makes gnu/Linux more secure, software is generally installed from a trusted/reputable source. Rather than sourced from unknown persons on the webz. Jmo if you have something unusual to contribute then wouldn't the AUR be the place to put it up ?

For what purpose? Are they copied verbatim (including signing) from the official repos? Or have you recompiled them yourself? If so, what makes them different?

jcjordyn120 · 2016-01-08 22:10:16

Signed, No (I am working on that) but the packages are the exact same as the ones on the official repos. it is more like a mirror. and Archfourm101, I do have a aur package.

If you wish to provide an arch mirror, then please mirror official repositories as a whole and do not provide a subset taken from different repositories. Otherwise it is only useful for a specific configuration. That may be practical as a local mirror in a local area network if you build the same setup multiple times, but not for the arch community in general.

In order to provide different precompiled packages, please put them in a repository without any official packages, so that it can be added to pacman without conflicts regarding official packages.

No offense, but the content in this thread is ridiculous.
