[arch-general] Alternative for Xyne's makerepo?
Hi there, I used to host a pacman repository on dropbox, for myself and a few friends. The easiest way for me to update this repo was Xyne's makerepo. That project isn't supported anymore, so I'm looking for an alternative. Something simple that can build and update a repository (with AUR packages) using a package list. Suggestions? Thanks, Vic Demuzere

Hi, I wrote repoman time ago. It's a tool to manage your personal repo. Archers used it, but I don't get a bug from time (last is dated 12th Aprile 2010); I don't use it anymore (because I've no more my repo), but I'm still here to fix bugs.
You could try it and see if it still works. See http://code.google.com/p/repoman-arch/wiki/Usage for usage. -- Andrea

I'm currently checking it out, but it looks like repoman really wants me to use FTP to publish my repo, which is not the case for me. My repo sits in a dropbox folder which is synced by dropbox and available through a public dropbox URL. It looks like it should be able to do what I want it to do though. And if all else fails, I can run a local FTP server. Thanks! Vic
