If you're interested in Aurtoo, you might want to look at the new version https://git.getcryst.al/crystal/software/malachite

aurtoo

Tool to help maintain a personal repo of AUR packages

Install

• From source: makepkg -si

Usage

• Once you've installed, run aurtoo help
  • This will let you set up the folder to hold cloned AUR packages
  • As well as the folder to hold the built packages and the <x>.db.tar.zst file that is the local PacMan repo.
• To add a package from the AUR, simply run aurtoo add <package_name>
• For other commands, you can see aurtoo help

Automation note

You can of course use a crontab or similar setup to automate aurtoo update, but please run aurtoo add manually, as you will have to authenticate with sudo to install depends for a package (if there are any)

Use case

People who have multiple Arch machines, and want to only build AUR packages once. By serving the out_dir folder via a web server, other Arch machines can be made to install the packages built by aurtoo add

Caveat

Since I (the developer) run aurtoo exclusively on a server machine, aurtoo does not currently install the built package to the machine it's running on. Of course, you could simply configure the out_dir folder as a filesystem repo in your pacman.conf and then pacman -Sy the package after adding it via aurtoo add. If this is a feature that some people desire, I'd be happy to accept a PR :)
