royarg-repo

An unofficial ArchLinux repository, hosting packages I use daily.

Instructions to use

1. Since the hosted packages are signed, pacman will require the PGP key of the packager. Get it here.

2. Add the downloaded key to pacman’s list of trusted keys:

   # pacman-key --add /path/to/downloaded/keyfile
   

3. Ensure that the key is genuine by comparing its fingerprint with 7B1F 570C 7895 E15E 73D1 3591 23D2 9A86 BCFC C858:

   $ pacman-key --finger BCFCC858
   gpg: Note: trustdb not writable
   pub   rsa4096 2023-05-17 [SC]
         7B1F 570C 7895 E15E 73D1  3591 23D2 9A86 BCFC C858
   uid           [  full  ] Anurag Roy <anuragr9847@gmail.com>
   

4. Locally sign the imported key:

   # pacman-key --lsign-key BCFCC858
   

5. Add the following lines at the end of pacman.conf:

   [royarg-repo]
   Server = https://royarg02.github.io/$repo/os/$arch
   

6. Force a refresh(and update) of the package databases:

   # pacman -Syyu
