Arch Linux Custom Repository Manager

This program is intended to manage an Arch Linux custom repository hosted on a server accessible through rsync (for example, on a VPS or a NAS with a /path/to/www folder served over the web by a web server).

It works by synchronizing the remote repository on the local machine using rsync, and then mainly uses repo-add to manage this repository to finally synchronizing back to the remote server.

It requires to run on an Arch Linux distribution, and simply behaves as a wrapper around some common programs:

[!NOTE] The CLI of this program is made with cleo, used by poetry.

Global options

[!IMPORTANT] Currently, some options are required by the CLI as it is the only way to pass information to the ACRM.
