I created a custom repository on my manjaro machine (to make a custom Manjaro ISO) with adding:

[manjaro-mate-aur-packages]
SigLevel = Never
Server = https://github.com/FreaxMATE/manjaro-mate-aur-packages/blob/main/manjaro-mate-aur-packages/x86_64/manjaro-mate-aur-packages.db.tar.gz?raw=true

to pacman.conf.

sudo pacman -Syu runs without any issues:

 manjaro-mate-aur-packages                    2,5 KiB  7,11 KiB/s 00:00 [########################################] 100%

When I try to install a package from this repo I get this error:

:: Retrieving packages...
 mate-layouts-0.0.5-2-any                     2,5 KiB  21,6 KiB/s 00:00 [########################################] 100%

Do you want to delete it? [Y/n] 
error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package (checksum))
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

although I set SigLevel = Never. Do I have to sign the packages when creating them with buildpkg? If that is the case how do I add them to the Manjaro custom ISO?

I used this doc: https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php/Buildiso_with_AUR_packages:_Using_buildpkg and https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php?title=Build_Manjaro_ISOs_with_buildiso

The problem is in Server line. You are pointing to the db file of the repo. It should be pointed to the repo instead. What pacman is downloading is https://github.com/FreaxMATE/manjaro-mate-aur-packages/blob/main/manjaro-mate-aur-packages/x86_64/manjaro-mate-aur-packages.db.tar.gz?raw=true/mate-layouts-0.0.5-2-any.pkg.tar.zst, which clearly doesn't exists and instead download a 404 error page. Also, you should use the raw URL instead of blob, because blob URL refers to HTML pages of the package, rather than actual package. The server URL should be changed to https://github.com/FreaxMATE/manjaro-mate-aur-packages/raw/main/manjaro-mate-aur-packages/$arch instead. Also, still it is unuseable because the db and file files are symlinked to their compressed forms which are represented as text file in git, so when downloading they aren't actually pointed to, ratehr downloads a plaintext file which reads manjaro-mate-aur-packages.db.tar.gz and manjaro-mate-aur-packages.file.tar.gz respectively. You should file an issue.

Edit:
Tested with my own fork

[manjaro-mate-aur-packages]
SigLevel = Never
Server = https://github.com/abdullah-if/manjaro-mate-aur-packages/raw/main/manjaro-mate-aur-packages/x86_64

Output:

No error.

  • Thanks for your answer but `https://github.com/FreaxMATE/manjaro-mate-aur-packages/blob/main/manjaro-mate-aur-packages/x86_64/manjaro-mate-aur-packages.db.tar.gz?raw=true/mate-layouts-0.0.5-2-any.pkg.tar.zst` exists. The packages are also recognized and can be downloaded, but the signing issue persists. – Mickey Oct 05 '21 at 19:21
  • @FreaxMATE ok, fair point. But do you know what it downloads ? The db, instead of the pkg. – Abdullah Ibn Fulan Oct 06 '21 at 12:29
  • @FreaxMATE see edit. – Abdullah Ibn Fulan Oct 06 '21 at 12:44
