Separating packages from kernels, etc.

Hi! Sorry for not following the template but this is kind of different suggestion.

I've been wondering if now it's good time to create GitHub structure that would be used in the future. Right now everything in one place seems to work well but with time it might be harder to tidy it up into respective repositories. Maybe it's even good idea to create merelinux organization on GitHub if it doesn't come with additional costs. I'm not sure about it though.

The template is just there as a suggestion, a little guidance for what type of information might be helpful.

I don't mind looking into the merelinux organization, I'll see what's involved. What did you have in mind for different repositories, you mean like with core vs extra, for example?

Well, that was easy: https://github.com/merelinux

Haven't moved any repositories yet, will wait until we've sorted out the plan here.

I added a pkg for firmware and amd-ucode

I've ment to separate install and Docker scripts from packages, I'm not really sure how to separate package repos though.

Under the arch pacman wiki there is an article for repo-add which provides info on how to make a local repository

Basically you move all your own made pkgs into a directory, it can be within the /var/cache/ hierarchy, you run repo-add for all your *.pkg.tar.xz files, and you name the .db (ie myrepo.db) then add [myrepo] and Server = file:///var/cache/myrepo and update pacman -Sy

You can make 2 or more to separate them if you wish.
