How to add the RebornOS repository

Let's see how to add the RebornOS repository to a distribution based on Arch linux.

First, we will edit the file pacman.conf:

First, you must edit the pacman.conf file to add the RebornOS repository. You can add the RebornOS repository at the end of the file, or place it after the Arch Linux #[testing] repository (the testing repository is disabled by default). This last way to install it (after the Arch Linux testing repository) is the default installation that RebornOS performs.

So, edit the file:

sudo nano /etc/pacman.conf

Then, add the following lines to the end of the file (NOTE: RebornOS installs its repository by default BEFORE the others.):

[Reborn-OS]
SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
Include = /etc/pacman.d/reborn-mirrorlist

NOTE: If the RebornOS repository is being added instead of the Antergos repository (if they still have it in your system), there will be an additional step, which will be to comment on the Antergos repository, as follows. Look for the lines:

[antergos]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/antergos-mirrorlist

... and comment on them:

# [antergos]
# SigLevel = PackageRequired
# Include = /etc/pacman.d/antergos-mirrorlist

Save the file (if you use the nano editor, it is recorded with Ctrl +o (letter "o") and comes out with Ctrl + x.

Now, add the mirrors of RebornOS. To do this, create the file reborn-mirrorlist as follows:

sudo nano /etc/pacman.d/reborn-mirrorlist

Inside, copy the following lines:

# --> RebornOS Mirrorlist from 20220130-1 <-- #

# RebornOS repo: repo.rebornos.org
Server = https://repo.rebornos.org/RebornOS/

##### End Sourceforge mirrors #####

Save the file (Ctrl + o), and exit (Ctrl + x).

Then from the terminal:

sudo chmod 644 /etc/pacman.d/reborn-mirrorlist




Another way to create the mirrorlist file is by copying and pasting the following in the terminal:

sudo wget https://gitlab.com/rebornos-team/rebornos-special-system-files/mirrors/reborn-mirrorlist/-/raw/master/reborn-mirrorlist /etc/pacman.d/reborn-mirrorlist
sudo chmod 644 /etc/pacman.d/reborn-mirrorlist




What will have to be done next, is to acquire the public pgp keys from the RebornOS repository. To do this, download the following file:

wget https://repo.rebornos.org/RebornOS/rebornos-keyring-20220425-1-any.pkg.tar.zst

Then, manually install the downloaded file. This is done with:

sudo pacman -U rebornos-keyring-20220425-1-any.pkg.tar.zst

Why is this procedure necessary? This is because all the files in the RebornOS repository are signed with one of the keys in this file (which correspond to the users in charge of maintaining the repository).

Then update the repositories:

sudo pacman -Syy

Once this procedure is finished, we can update our system, or install something existing in the RebornOS repositories.
