I'm pleased to announce a new Arch Linux project named “repod”. This
project [1] contains tooling to maintain binary package repositories for
Linux distributions using the Pacman package manager. Repod aims to
reduce the current complexity/pain-points of Arch repository management
while supporting robust/convenient management tooling.
Repod is still in pre-release state and as such has not yet reached its
minimum feature set. However, we'd love your involvement; We hope to
benefit all distributions using Pacman, not only Arch Linux.
Existing documentation and functionality may be viewed at readthedocs
[2]. A number of tickets feature tags of "good first issue" [3] to
ease the nascent contributor into the project.
If you're interested, Join the arch-projects(a)lists.archlinux.org list
[4] for announcements, meeting minutes, and development discussion. Or
stop by #archlinux-projects on Libera IRC. We'd love to see you there!
