[SOLVED] pkgctl repo clone fails

$ pkgctl repo clone linux-hardened                                      [255]
==> Cloning linux-hardened ...
Cloning into 'linux-hardened'...
git@gitlab.archlinux.org: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

even though i added the key in the first run... no files are created

$ pkgctl repo clone --unprivileged linux-hardened                       [255]
==> Cloning linux-hardened ...
Cloning into 'linux-hardened'...

==> ERROR: invalid argument: --unprivileged

i get the desired files + a .git folder with files

git clone https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/linux-hardened.git

works as expected

Re: [SOLVED] pkgctl repo clone fails

`pkgctl repo clone --unprivileged` needs some fixes. See https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/ … issues/132.

For now you can use `git clone https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/${pkgbase}.git/`. Note that some pkgbase names are not allowed as GitLab repo names, and
those names are transformed with these rules: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/ … ns-git#L48.

Re: [SOLVED] pkgctl repo clone fails

You can also work around this with a rule in ~/.gitconfig:

[url "https://gitlab.archlinux.org/"]
  insteadOf = git@gitlab.archlinux.org:
