Then, you can see every package I added with <code>pacman -Sl juju</code>.</p><p>But why? Here’s the gory details. A friend of mine told me about this service called <ahref=https://www.netlify.com/>Netlify</a>, which is pretty much for those who made their website with a site generator, it automatically builds the website each time you push it to Git. From what I understand, anyway. Kinda like GitHub, I guess. The free plan comes with custom domains, HTTPS, 300 build minutes a month, 100 GB of bandwidth and… no storage limit? Well, that’d probably make for a good use case for this project.</p><p>So I follow <ahref=https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman/Tips_and_tricks#Custom_local_repository>the instructions on the wiki</a>, I throw in some index.html generated from stuff I stole from the x16-emulator package, I do a manual deploy and there you go!</p><pre><code>repo-add archlinux/juju/os/x86_64/juju.db.tar.gz archlinux/juju/os/x86_64/some-package.pkg.tar.xz
</code></pre><p>To do everytime I update something
Symlinks don’t work for some reason, so you’d need to add a file called <code>_redirects</code>:</p><pre><code>/archlinux/:repo/os/:arch/:repo.db /archlinux/:repo/os/:arch/:repo.db.tar.gz
