My package 'repo'...

skeeterbug · 2004-10-31 19:27:09

Hi all, I see from my logs that at least a couple of people have been trying to pacman -Sy my package database - sorry but I haven't been able to make it work via http. It's my little 486 nat router and it uses thttpd which I haven't been able to make compatible with pacman - it works OK if you use wget as your XferCommand. Anyway, I enabled ftp so it should be working OK now. In a nutshell the pacman.conf entry should be:

[skeeterbug]
Server = http://singleton.homeunix.org/arch

^^ must be using an alternate XferCommand ^^

or

[skeeterbug]
Server = ftp://singleton.homeunix.org/arch

This one should work with the default pacman downloader deal. Sorry for any difficulties.

nice done there. Also nice to see that except me someone lse is also using AL's thttpd package

Thanks! Actually I'm not using the Arch package - the box is only a 486 and it's running FREESCO as a nat router which has thttpd as its http daemon. I hadn't heard of thttpd before - it's a great daemon.

Can I see your PKGBUILDs, skeeterbug?

The one for fdutils needs a small correction. Please remove $startdir/pkg/usr/etc. Thanks

Hi, the PKGBUILDS are all in here: http://singleton.homeunix.org/arch/src/ under the package name directory.

As to the etc file I thought about removing it before I think but wasn't sure if it would break it. It's where the package puts it but apparently it's actually the /etc/fdprm which is owned by 'util-linux'. I guess it does make sense to remove it now that you mention it, I'm removing the setfdprm from fdutils already.
