Notes

:noexport: because it is not supported by Github. org-do-demote to allow smaller headings in Github, and inside the README.

The README.org is provided to compile markdown, not to read it directly. Also, the README heading is re-ordered (to catch secondary headings).

All this is to provide a minimum style, but the markdown supported by Github and BitBucket it is not the same.

Introduction

Modification of keenerd/packer to allow using BitBucket AUR-like repo and --force arg for pacman.

Use

Because I currently use packer (although I still keep yaourt) I have modified the original repo to be able to use a specific git repository from BitBucket. It should be easy to adapt it for the Github API.

Currently it is only supported the install function: packer --bbrepo g4lbb:aur -S package-name

Another feature added to this modification is the possibility to force the installation. It is something that I missed from the original packer:

  • packer --force -S package-name, or
  • packer --bbrepo g4lbb:aur --force -S package-name

I have used the repo g4lbb AUR. With this system it is possible to create alternative AUR distributed repos (public or private). So far it is not as comfortable as the real AUR, but it is possible to use this alternative.

  • github AUR-like support (--ghrepo or similar)
  • allow searches
  • allow updates

They are not planned for the near future because these modifications solves my problems/requests. If you want to modify again or allow more options, do it or request to me ;)
