I am building packages using makepkg for the raspberry pi 4 platform
I changed the CFLAGS adding -march=armv8-a -mtune=cortex-a72 (makepkg.conf).
I started to build all the packages that make up the "Building in a clean chroot" following the building in a claen chroot on the wiki. All when well. I will then build all the "base" package followed by all the packages I use on a "desktop" system.
I would now like to make a custom repository for those packages and then have pacman install from there, eventually to remove the core extra etc repositories.
I know how to create the custom repository (from the various wiki docs) using repo-add. I have a nginx web server on a remote raspberry pi and it will serve those packages
from /etc/pacman.conf [custom] SigLevel = Optional TrustAll Server = http://www.home.arpa/Repository
So my questions are as follows
1. How to get pacman to pull the packages from the custom repository first
2. I would like to sign the packages in the custom repository.
I have looked at some of the information regarding signing packages(maybe missing some of them). It was totally confusing. I need guidance in the form of Step 1, step 2 etc.
Is there such docs in existance?
It could be https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman/Package_signing#Adding_unofficial_ke... is what you are looking for.
I tried that and I either messed it up or I didn’t understand it as it failed to work. Pacman rejected it and when I try to sign the package using repo-add it failed as well. I am looking for a doc that shows the complete steps ie Create a key Add it to the Pacman keyring Then the rest of the steps Ie which key do I add to the keyring public or secret? I need a little hand holding on this one
