archlinux custom repo

custom self updating arch linux repo

what is it?

ugly hack to prebuild AUR packages and host them on Github (this will likely have to change in the future if repo size is gets too big)

How?

1. prebuild a docker image with base-devel and yay-bin
2. use yay to install packages
3. create a repository with repo-add
4. push back to repo

Build

this runs on Github Actions and also uses Github Package Repository for the docker image

use

The project is at seankhliao/arch-repo

Use with something like the following in pacman.conf

[seankhliao]
SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
Server = https://raw.githubusercontent.com/seankhliao/arch-repo/master/pkgs/

is this legal?

maybe not?
