[SOLVED] I have a new arch repository

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.

Re: [SOLVED] I have a new arch repository

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

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

Re: [SOLVED] I have a new arch repository

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.

Re: [SOLVED] I have a new arch repository

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?

Re: [SOLVED] I have a new arch repository

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.

Re: [SOLVED] I have a new arch repository

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.
