jd-64, my software repository!

JaydenDev · 2022-07-23 19:20:17

So, I googled how to make an arch repository. The first thing that came up, the fact I could host my very own repository with nothing but github pages and a few commands! So I did it, I made a repository. I wasn't sure where to announce this at first, but since Xyne showed off his repo here, just figured this was the spot.

To view more details, visit: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unoffi … ries#jd-64

Nothing is signed, nothing. It's unsecure as can be. But I am working on that!

To avoid conflicts with the default Arch repositories, I will not supply packages already in said repositories. It will be purely AUR packages not already in said repos, or my software. If you want YOUR software in the repository. Just supply me with a PKGBUILD or an AUR link. And it will be BACKGROUND CHECKED and added shortly.

The reason I'm checking, is because this is a clean repository, with clean packages, that use good practices and won't break the system.
Since my own software doesn't use good practices, this isn't fair. ^

Package List:

fvwm 2.6.9-3
jdutils-bin 0.2.0-1
maui-calendar-git r8.b4907c7-1
maui-manager-git r22.f42eb96-1
maui-shell-git v0.5.0.r52.gb0ccd14-1
mksh 59.c-1
nscde 2.1-1
linux-xanmod 5.18.13-1
python311 3.11.0b4-1
yay 11.2.0-1

Yet, the first package you've added is a pacman wrapper with a long history of breakage...

You should also publish the PKGBUILD sources somewhere.

I'd have a list on my website, if there was a way to NOT have to add a new link to an html page every new package or update.

I don't see your point - you could have a github repo just for the sources.

it's all PKGBUILDS, always has been. PKGBUILDS straight from the AUR as well.

Alad · 2022-07-23 20:06:37

PKGBUILDs can include arbitrary code. So where can we see yours?

Sorry, but I want to add more packages. And don't wish to painfully upload and update every single PKGBUILD in the repo just to make people 'trust' the repository.

Unfortunately, with how many packages I'm adding. I can barely keep up adding the PKGBUILD files one by one. But guess what, I've found a solution to that. Aliases! I can make an alias and automate the process.

I applaud your consistent desire to contribute something useful to this community - but you need to walk before you run. Specifically:

You do not know what good practices are. This is painfully evident from your code. That may sound harsh ('cause, it is harsh, I believe it's unavoidable); and it'd not be called for if you were trying to learn and accepting feedback. Everyone starts as a novice. Everyone writes some really bad code when getting started. But a novice should not publish bad software and claim to be qualified to check other software for "good practices".

Then don't share the repository. This is sounding less and less like a genuine attempt to contribute and more and more like a resume booster. Are you (ab)using this community just to list some fluffed up credentials / experience?

No. I probably should of phrased the OP (and the one you quoted) of this topic differently.

Alright, OP and quoted post fixed to be less.. whatever you call it? I'll try to be more 'subtle'.

JaydenDev · 2022-07-24 00:51:03

I'm reverting my previous decision to no longer provide PKGBUILD files. Instead, I will scale down the amount of packages I add, and re-add the PKGBUILDs.

Update: Next time I have time, the rest of the PKGBUILD files will be uploaded. For some reason not all of them copied..

you can now view details about every package in the repository with ease at: https://jdev.eu.org/jd-64/
as well, now all PKGBUILD files used to build these packages are in the GitHub repo of the repository.

Thank you

By the way, there are solutions to simplify hosting repository + website, e.g https://github.com/arcan1s/ahriman

Does it allow for viewing of PKGBUILDs?
Update: It might but it is sure painful to setup:

1. The command in the docs doesn't even work
2. I don't think the software works as a whole

To me the main question is: is the concept interesting? If so, I'd spend some time with the author to iron out the kinks.

I've looked at a bunch of other tools as well: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/User:A … repo_tools

Multi-Architecture support will be added soon! One repo will be x86_64, the other will be any. Would this system work out?

Alad · 2022-07-24 18:05:03

An x86_64 repo can contain both x86_64 and any packages. So it's not necessary to separate them.

Say your on a 32 bit system. Would it really be worth adding an x86_64 repo?

Alad · 2022-07-24 19:36:42

Sure, that's something x86 users might not want to do. Though, conversely, x86_64 users now have to add 2 repos instead of one.

I guess it depends on the amount of any packages, and what architectures you regularly use or want to support.

I have an x86_64 system, I don't have any ARM systems, or any other architectures. Just a repo for bash scripts, which are for any architecture.
