Greetings,
it seems that upstream source for jrosetta package is down and not going
to get back up any time soon. This package is still needed and I have
files required to build it, so, I need some place online for others to
download them. Currently these files are just uploaded to my dropbox
account. Any suggestions? Also, java-skinlf package downloads required
files from archlinux.org server while upstream download page is dead,
too. Is this an option?
Regards,
Victor
Victor:
You should be able to just use the Dropbox URLs as the source urls in
the PKGBUILD. I've done that for one of my packages and it works just
fine. You also could pick up a cheapo VPS from http://buyvm.net/ for $15
USD a year for an OpenVZ 128MB Container or $25 a year for a 128MB KVM
and host it yourself. I've used the OpenVZ $15 a year account for years;
I run IRC server and other IRC related services on them. You get apache
installed, plus ipv6 addresses, ssh, root, and a good choice of distros
to choose from. They're very stable and they're good about notifying you
about maintenance windows etc. Since you'll only be hosting AUR package
srcs there, the 128M will be more than enough for serving a few tarballs :).
