mirror-repo-ck

Build Status

Mirrors repo-ck every night (around 05:00 UTC). Add this to your pacman.conf to use this mirror:

[repo-ck]
Server = http://pstore.enkore.de/mirrors/repo-ck/$arch

Tooling for mirroring Arch repositories

  • dblist.py outputs a list of URLs for a given Arch repository. It takes three command line arguments:

    1. Repository name (e.g. repo-ck)
    2. Repository base URL (e.g. http://repo-ck.com)
    3. Architecture (e.g. x86_64)

  • clean.py takes such a list and removes all packages that are not on that list from a directory.

    • Thus it removes old versions of packages from the mirror

  • Then wget (or curl) can be used to download all new packages using a command like this (assuming the output of dblist.py was saved to a file named index):

    wget --input-file=index --directory-prefix=<output dir> --tries=inf --limit-rate=500k --no-verbose --no-clobber

    When using this command you need to remove the <repo-name>.db file from the output directory first, so that it is always up to date. It is not removed by clean.py ; clean.py only removes packages and package signatures.
