Repository

Besides providing a RESTful API, the Vieter server is also a Pacman-compatible repository server. This section describes the various routes that make this possible.

Get a package archive or database file

curl -L https://example.com/bur/x86_64/tuxedo-keyboard-3.0.10-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

This endpoint is really the entire repository. It serves both the package archives & the database files for a specific arch-repo. It has three different behaviors, depending on filename:

  • If the file extension is one of .db, .files, .db.tar.gz or .files.tar.gz, it tries to serve the requested database file.
  • If the filename contains .pkg, it serves the package file.
  • Otherwise, it assumes filename is the name & version of a package inside the repository (e.g. vieter-0.3.0_alpha.2-1) & serves that package's desc file from inside the database archive.

HTTP Request

GET /:repo/:arch/:filename

URL Parameters

Parameter Description
repo Repository containing the package
arch Arch-repo containing the package
filename actual filename to request

Check whether file exists

curl -L https://example.com/bur/x86_64/tuxedo-keyboard-3.0.10-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

The above request can also be performed as a HEAD request. The behavior is the same, except no data is returned besides an error 404 if the file doesn't exist & an error 200 otherwise.

HTTP Request

GET /:repo/:arch/:filename

URL Parameters

Parameter Description
repo Repository containing the package
arch Arch-repo containing the package
filename actual filename to request

  https://example.com/some-repo/publish
