Libguestfs - Dec 2012 - febootstrap - Arch User Repository

Arch User Repository - https://aur.archlinux.org/

have changed the package location

I am not a developer (and i dont know ocaml) but i've tried to build a patch

eg.
old location:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hivex/hivex.tar.gz

new location:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hi/hivex/hivex.tar.gz



AUR has a lot Flagged out-of-date packages so it would be nice if
febootstrap would have a parameter for adding a custom (local or not)
repo.
I'll try to help (with archlinux specs) and try as exercise to provide
a patch - if you are going to consider adding support for declaring a
custom repo.

Any thoughts about that?

Thanks - I pushed that patch.

It should work, as long as there are no packages with single
letter names ...
