Need Help Packaging Realm Object Server

I was wondering if anyone could give me a few pointers on trying to package binary .deb releases using pacman?

Specifically, I'm trying to package the releases for the Realm Object Server (https://realm.io/docs/realm-object-server/) which has some .deb and .rpm releases. They're using package cloud as an apt source

This is the install script that they have for ubuntu
https://packagecloud.io/install/reposit … ipt.deb.sh

I haven't worked too much with apt repositories in the past and would like some advice on how to parse the metadata in the repository to know which packages it provides so I can stay up to date with my own PKGBUILD

Thanks!

Have you seen Debtap?

Re: Need Help Packaging Realm Object Server

Hey thanks for the link to debtap

Do you know of any way to parse the apt repo metadata to know when I should repackage updates to the debs that are hosted there?
