### managing custom packages / managing a remote repository

1) One could use [crema](https://gitlab.com/mipimipi/crema)
2) Or some self made shell scripts: [pkg/de-p1st-repo/README.md](pkg/de-p1st-repo/README.md)

### Package naming

* [package naming](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_package_guidelines#Package_naming)

Package names are prefixed with `de-p1st` as this is one of my
domains ([p1st.de]()) which itself is an abbreviation of
[privacy1st.de]()

### creating config files

```shell
install -Dm644 $src $pkgdir/$dst
```

Example: [archi3linux PKGBUILD](https://gitlab.com/archi3linux/meta/-/blob/c08ad57993095a575f2e7453c2fe92de97923276/PKGBUILD#L62)

### changing existing config files

* `holo` from the AUR

### enabling services

**TODO**: using systemd.preset
