Thank you for the PR! I'm open to including it but I can't promise a quick review. I mostly don't maintain this project any more and I've never tried creating an arch repo so I'm not familiar with the changes you're proposing. |

Sorry for the lack of communication or a reply even. I have been testing the workflow with my makeshift repository since the PR was opened. I've been trying to identify problems through usage. It has been quite stable so far, but there are some outstanding issues and TODOs, at least for my repository oriented workflow.

The goal of this PR is to add the necessary bits to generate the files (
<reponame>.{db,db.tar.gz,files.file.tar.gz}) that constitute an Arch Linux repository.The way it works is by updating the repository files and exposing them in the action outputs to be uploaded. It also allows for custom
pacmanandmakepkgconfiguration files to pull dependencies from releases.You can see it in use in my own repo here https://github.com/loathingKernel/PKGBUILDs
I am opening this as a draft to see if there is any interest in merging it and as a RFC. If this is something that could be included, I am will update the documentation too to reflect the changes.
The yay -> paru change or downloading it from
alerquerepository are not mandatory and I will exclude them from the final PR if they are not wanted.
