So, as I write this, mostly Commander X16 stuff and TI-83 stuff.</p><pre><code>[juju]
SigLevel = Never
Server = https://repo.juju2143.ca/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
</code></pre><p>Add this to your pacman.conf
Then, you can see every package I added with <code>pacman -Sl juju</code>.</p><p>But why? Here&rsquo;s the gory details. A friend of mine told me about this service called <a href=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&mldr; no storage limit? Well, that&rsquo;d probably make for a good use case for this project.</p><p>So I follow <a href=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
pandoc --from gfm --to html -c github-pandoc.css --standalone --metadata pagetitle=&quot;repo.juju2143.ca&quot; README.md --output index.html
tree archlinux -P &quot;*.pkg.tar.xz&quot; -v -H &quot;https://repo.juju2143.ca/archlinux&quot; &gt; archlinux/index.html
netlify deploy --prod --dir=.
</code></pre><p>To do everytime I update something
Symlinks don&rsquo;t work for some reason, so you&rsquo;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
/archlinux/:repo/os/:arch/:repo.files /archlinux/:repo/os/:arch/:repo.files.tar.gz
/* /404.html 404
</code></pre><p>Mind the very long lines
So there you go. It&rsquo;s very much in line with the principle that drives Arch Linux, the famous &ldquo;keep it simple, stupid&rdquo; (KISS), so that was pretty easy. So if you want a package I should add and/or build, feel free to suggest away :)</p><p><a href=https://repo.juju2143.ca>Check out the repo here!</a></p></article><ul class=pagination><li class=page-item><a class=previous href=http://toasters.rocks/emoji-region-flags/>« Emoji region flags</a></li><li class=page-item><a class=next href=http://toasters.rocks/pandemic-story/>Pandemic Story »</a></li></ul><article><div id=disqus_thread></div><script type=application/javascript>window.disqus_config=function(){},function(){if(["localhost","127.0.0.1"].indexOf(window.location.hostname)!=-1){document.getElementById("disqus_thread").innerHTML="Disqus comments not available by default when the website is previewed locally.";return}var t=document,e=t.createElement("script");e.async=!0,e.src="//juju2143.disqus.com/embed.js",e.setAttribute("data-timestamp",+new Date),(t.head||t.body).appendChild(e)}()</script><noscript>Please enable JavaScript to view the <a href=https://disqus.com/?ref_noscript>comments powered by Disqus.</a></noscript><a href=https://disqus.com class=dsq-brlink>comments powered by <span class=logo-disqus>Disqus</span></a></article></main><footer>Copyright © 2020 J.P.
