local-arch-repo

Running multiple Arch devices? Create your own package archive repository and simply add another device.
This is actually for a PinePhone (aarch64), PIs (armv7h) and other x86_64 Arch devices. Probably others will follow.

What does it?

These are just a few bash scripts to install your local repository or add another client, and two hooks for your pacman updates.

On the server side, the rsync daemon + credentials + config file modifications are created to be ready for the clients. Furthermore, the hooks are placed and also the repo-add.sh script for the post exec commands - after the client has pushed its packages or for the server after it has received an update via pacman (hook). The pacman.conf is modified for the new repository and the new package cache path.

On the client side, pacman.conf is also changed for the new repository. Like on the server, the hooks are placed and archive_packages.sh is copied to the root folder, which will be activated via the hook. Rsync credentials are created.

Usage

Just run the start.sh script and chose either SERVER or client.
