Use GitHub Actions for building and packaging a few AUR packages and deploy them to GitHub Releases so it can be used as a repository in Arch Linux. Based on cromerc/aurci.
To use as custom repository in Arch Linux, add to file /etc/pacman.conf:
[PKGBUILD]
SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
Server = https://github.com/djpohly/PKGBUILD/releases/download/repository
NOTE: List of currently maintained packages can change at any moment. If you trust the djp-keyring package, you can update SigLevel to Required TrustedOnly.
To build AUR packages of your own selection, fork this repository. The master branch contains most of the build actions.
- Fork this GitHub repository.
- Create a release (name currently hardcoded as "repository") in which your package repository will be stored.
- Generate a personal access token with scope
public_repo. - In repository settings, add this token as a secret with the name
PUSH_TOKEN. - If you would like to enable package and repository signing:
- Create a PGP key for signing.
- Generate a random hex key and initialization vector (IV) with which to encrypt the PGP key.
- Add these encryption secrets as repository secrets called
ENCRYPTION_KEYandENCRYPTION_IV. - Encrypt your signing key using
openssl aes-256-cbcand your chosen key/IV. Replacesigning.key.encwith this file and commit.
- For each package you would like to build, use
git merge --allow-unrelated-historiesto merge the package's branch from the AUR with the pkgbase branch from this repository. This will enable you to pull updates from both the AUR and the pkgbase branch. - Each time you push an update to the repository, the package will be built and uploaded, and the repository updated.
