[RFC] xbps repository for internal xbps-src and bootstrap packages #39166

Closed Duncaen closed 1 year ago

Duncaen commented 2 years ago

It might be nice to create a xbps repository for packages that are supposed to be used by xbps-src only, like -bootstrap packages and maybe chroot-* packages.

This would avoid them showing up in default repository and avoids users installing chroot-* packages due to virtual packages by accident.

We would add repository="bootstrap" to templates and add that repository to the repository pool in xbps-src.

+1, I would really like this for all the jdk bootstrap pkgs

This is a great idea.

This has been implemented.
