Local repository HOWTO
This document outlines one way to share Arch Linux packages across a LAN. A better way to do this would be to create a Custom local repository with ABS and gensync and make the repository available across the LAN using NFS or FTP. This document should be edited to describe this process in detail. For the time being, the original HOWO is left intact below:
To share all your downloaded packages in your lan Pros save bandwith, diskspace and time. "pacman -Sy" will sync against our local repository "pacman -S pkgname" try to download and install pkg from localserver if pkg not exist it download from the next server in the list /etc/pacman.conf and save pkg on localserver. "alsync" will update localserver db against ftp.archlinux.org ex. for my network serverip=192.168.14.3 network=192.168.14.0/255.255.255.0 adjust to yours 1. serverside on your server create an nfs share readwrite for all pc on your lan if you run archlinux on the server you can pacman -S portmap pacman -S nfs-utils edit /etc/exports add line /var/cache/pacman/pkg 192.168.14.0/255.255.255.0(rw,no''root''squash,sync) add portmap, nfslock and nfsd to DAEMONS in /etc/rc.conf run /etc/rc.d/portmap start run /etc/rc.d/nfslock start run /etc/rc.d/nfsd start to check the nfsshare run "exportfs" on server. 2. on all clients rename /var/cache/pacman/pkg to /var/cache/pacman/pkgorg create a new /var/cache/pacman/pkg and mount the nfs share there run "mount -o rw,nolock 192.168.14.3:/var/cache/pacman/pkg /var/cache/pacman/pkg" or if you want it automount on client reboot add this line in /etc/fstab 192.168.14.3:/var/cache/pacman/pkg /var/cache/pacman/pkg nfs rw,nolock run "mount -a" run "df" to check mount move all your already fetched pkg from your clients /var/cache/pacman/pkgorg to /var/cache/pacman/pkg edit /etc/pacman.conf and add this lines directly after the line {current} Server = file:///var/cache/pacman/pkg '''''' and after '''''' {extra} Server = file:///var/cache/pacman/pkg 3. to sync your local repository v.s. archlinux "alsync" connects, login, and update your packages database on the local nfsserver pacman -S openssl pacman -S wget create a file called /bin/alsync and put in this lines ''''''''''''''' content of alsync ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' cd /var/cache/pacman/pkg wget -N ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/current/'''.db.''' wget -N ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/extra/'''.db.''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''' end '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''* chmod 777 /bin/alsync copy this file to your clients to try run as root on first client alsync pacman -Sy pacman -S new-pkgname move to next client and run pacman -Sy pacman -S new-pkgname
