Userrepository

My third-party Arch Linux repository went offline. The fix is trivial, but the hosting provider is on its last breath.

Atingi mais um objetivo do Userrepository.eu: chegar aos 1500 pacotes!

Estou prestes a atingir mais um marco importante, que me deixa com uma vontade renovada de continuar o projeto

O meu repositório de software para Arch Linux e distribuições compatíveis, Userrepository, levou umas alterações cosméticas para melhorar aquele aspeto cru normal de um open dir. Agora, quem acede a ele através do browser vai ver um template HTML todo catita com a listagem dos pacotes e uma link para o blog do repositório. Esta alteração não tem qualquer impacto na forma como instalas os pacotes a partir de lá. Eles continuam à distância de um pacman -Syu como estavam anteriormente. A alteração é só para os browsers, para tornar o acesso mais agradável, apenas isso. ...

Since the 24th of January, the date of the last blog post, I’ve added a shitload of new packages to userrepository.eu.

The focus on new packages will probably be scientific tools and maybe a kernel. With that, I’ll probably have to increase the full build frequency from 8h to at least 9 hours. ...

Hello, folks. It has been a while since I last wrote about my AUR-based Arch Linux repository. To be precise, four months and twelve days. A lot has happened since then. One of the main changes was the removal of several packages no longer present in AUR or really outdated. Some examples are peafox, marp and gimp-dbp. Another important change was the addition of several new packages, as usual. If I find it may be useful for someone, I add it. ...

Lately, I’ve been having some problems when building picom-ibhagwan-git and picom-tryone-git. The first one would build OK, but not the second one. After a bit of debugging, I found out that it was a problem related to the way makepkg and git handle the cache when building these forks. This would also happen when adding the picom-git package: it would build because it’s the first package in alphabetical order and Jarvis builds the packages that way, but not the other two. ...
