Initializing repository
/////////////////////

This will create the repository basedir and a dedicatd GPG keypair. It will also install
the public key into the basedir.

::

$ aurblobs init myrepo /srv/www/myrepo [e-mail]


Adding a package
////////////////

Adding a new package to a repository validates its existence on AUR and configures it to be built on the next update
run.

::

$ aurblobs add youtube-dl-git


If multiple repositories are set up the specific repository must be specified:

::

$ aurblobs add --repository myrepo youtube-dl-git


Listing configured repositories and packages
////////////////////////////////////////////

::

$ aurblobs list
myrepo: /srv/www/myrepo (3 packages)
- dino-git (r214.dc2dde5-1)
- youtube-dl-git (2017.12.02.r7.b271e3352-1)
- tinc-pre-git (1.1pre15.21.gb8acb89a-1)


Building packages
/////////////////

With the update command all configured repositories and packages can be checked for
updates. If updates for a package are available it will be rebuilt in a container, with
a minimal Arch Linux build environment.
The build container will be pulled from the Docker Hub just before the first build is started.

::

% aurblobs update --repository myrepo
youtube-dl-git is up-to-date
dino-git is up-to-date
tinc-pre-git is up-to-date


Sharing the repository
//////////////////////

The repository basedir should then be exposed via a webserver.

::

Configuring the repository locally
//////////////////////////////////

Download and import the repositories signing key into your truststore.

::

# wget https://example.com/myrepo/myrepo.gpg
# pacman-key --add myrepo.gpg


Lookup the key fingerprint:

::

# pacman-key --list-keys | grep -B2 "prebuilt repository key"
pub ed25519 2017-12-04 [SCA]
6E688777E2795B67C578EF3591149FE64075FE41
uid [ full ] prebuilt repository key (insecure!) <[e-mail]>


And sign the key locally:

::

# pacman-key --lsign-key <fingerprint>
-> Locally signing key <fingerprint>...
==> Updating trust database...
gpg: next trustdb check due at 2018-06-25


Finally add the repository to ``/etc/pacman.conf``:

::

[myrepo]
Server = https://example.com/myrepo
