[SOLVED]Make a local repository

I wonder if there is a way to make an archlinux repository for AUR packages, I think it'll be a lot easier to share these packages to other "Archers" with packages available in local repository like /var/cache/pacman/pkg

Can anyone tell me how to make it, because i cannot find it anywhere so probably with asking in the forum i will find the answer.

Thanks to you guys!

Re: [SOLVED]Make a local repository

first what you call AUR packages are not in fact binary packages but rather builds for making those packages. this means that is no sense for doing a repository.

if you want to redistribute some of the builds out there, the tool for creating a repository is repo-add which is distribute with pacman.

repo-add repo_name.db.tar.gz package-pkgver-pkgrel.pkg.tar.gz
