Arch package registry

Publish Arch packages for your user or organization. The registry can act as a fully working Arch linux mirror connected directly in /etc/pacman.conf.

Requirements

To work with the Arch registry, you need to use a HTTP client like curl to upload and a package manager like pacman to consume packages.

The following examples use pacman.

Configuring the package registry

Before you can use the package registry, you need to download the package verification key and add the registry to the pacman config.

Download the package verification key.

wget https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/arch/repository.key

Display the id the key (the long line with hex characters).

gpg --show-keys repository.key

Add the key to pacman and sign it (use the key id from the previous step).

pacman-key --add repository.key
pacman-key --lsign-key {key id}

Now add the registry configuration to /etc/pacman.conf.

[{owner}.gitea.example.com]
SigLevel = Required
Server = https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/arch/{repository}/{architecture}
Placeholder Description
owner The owner of the packages.
repository The repository to use.
architecture The architecture to use.

Consult the owners package overview to see what repository and architecture is available.

If the registry is private, provide credentials in the url. You can use a password or a personal access token:

Server = https://{username}:{your_password_or_token}@gitea.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/arch/{repository}/{architecture}

Publish a package

To publish an Arch package, perform a HTTP PUT operation with the package content in the request body.

PUT https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/arch/{repository}
Parameter Description
owner The owner of the package.
repository The repository can be used to group packages or just core or similar.

Example request using HTTP Basic authentication:

curl --user your_username:your_password_or_token \
     --upload-file path/to/file.pkg.tar.zst \
     https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/testuser/arch/core

If you are using 2FA or OAuth use a personal access token instead of the password.

You cannot publish a file with the same name twice to a package. You must delete the existing package file first.

The server responds with the following HTTP Status codes.

HTTP Status Code Meaning
201 Created The package has been published.
400 Bad Request Something of the package is invalid. The error message contains more information.
409 Conflict A package file with the same combination of parameters exist already in the package.

Install packages

To install a package run the pacman sync command:

pacman -Sy {package_name}
Parameter Description
package_name The package name.

Delete a package

To delete an Arch package perform a HTTP DELETE operation. This will delete the package version too if there is no file left.

DELETE https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/arch/{repository}/{package_name}/{package_version}/{architecture}
Parameter Description
owner The owner of the package.
repository The repository to use.
architecture The package architecture.
package_name The package name.
package_version The package version.

Example request using HTTP Basic authentication:

curl --user your_username:your_token_or_password -X DELETE \
     https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/testuser/arch/core/test-package/1.0.0/x86-64

The server responds with the following HTTP Status codes.

HTTP Status Code Meaning
204 No Content Success
404 Not Found The package or file was not found.
