My Arch Linux meta packages

Arch Linux metapackages

A set of meta-packages for simplifying a system install.

This is really simple. There's nothing but meta packages here.

You can of course just do a makepkg -si in each of these packages to install them. Or you can clone my Arch-Setup repo and get a script to install these along with other things that will make the configurations more complete.

Use Make

So this is just meta-packages, but metapackages only work for the official arch-repos. So That leaves out the things in the AUR. I get around that in the Makefile. So just make <package-name> so it can do all the pacman stuff and the AUR stuff. Make takes care of things like other sources and dependencies.

Bigger picture.

This project is wrapped by another project. Arch-Setup That project combines this one with all of my configuration and setup repositories. So if you clone that with recurse submodules, you will get a higher level Makefile with additional repos for configuration and setup.
