ArcHlinux ReposItory MANager

Wrapper for managing custom repository inspired by repo-scripts.

Installation and run

• Install package as usual.
• Change settings if required, see CONFIGURING.md for more details.
• Create /var/lib/ahriman/.makepkg.conf with makepkg.conf overrides if required (at least you might want to set PACKAGER).
• Configure build tools (it might be required if your package will use any custom repositories):
  • create build command if required, e.g. ln -s /usr/bin/archbuild /usr/local/bin/custom-x86_64-build (you can choose any name for command);
  • create configuration file, e.g. cp /usr/share/devtools/pacman-{extra,custom}.conf;
  • change configuration file: add your own repository, add multilib repository;
  • set build.build_command to point to your command;
  • configure /etc/sudoers.d/ahriman to allow to run command without password.
• Start and enable ahriman.timer via systemctl.
• Add packages by using ahriman add {package} command.

Limitations

• It does not manage dependencies, so you have to add them before main package.
