ABOUT 📚

COMPILING THE PACKAGE REPOSITORY LOCALLY ✨

This package repository is built using Arch Linux's common build tools. The source files for these build tools and a build script for the package repository are copied to a Docker image and the package repository is compiled. The generated package repository is then deployed on this Git repository's gh-pages branch. The source files to build each package are located in the src directory. To add your own package, add a PKGBUILD file in a new directory carrying the name of your package under the src directory.

To contribute to the package repository or compile the package repository yourself, follow these steps:

• 1.) Install Docker and Git.
• 2.) Fork and clone this repository.
• 3.) Change directory into the Git repository's root and run the following two commands to i) build the Docker image and ii) to run the Docker image:

docker --debug build -t arch_repo .
docker run --name arch_pkgs arch_repo

• 4.) To copy the generated TAR archive containing the package repository's files to your computer's storage disk, execute the command docker cp arch_pkgs:/home/builduser/x86_64.tgz ..
