Hello,

I am very new to archlinux (as of late last week, and I am struggling to find any documentation on how to create new archlinux packages, and how to setup a local repository for my packages prior to contributing them to the AUR.

I have searched the wiki and forums as well as simply googled on the topics and have found nothing.

Any tips would be appreciated.

Maybe this is what you're looking for: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Custom_local_repository#Custom_local_re pository

FYI, you really don't need to do this if you just want to contribute a PKGBUILD to the AUR. All you need to do is prepare the PKGBUILD, and when it works, you can "makepkg --source" and upload the result. That part is explained here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR#Sharing_and_maintaining_packages Paul
