The ACM custom repo is a local package repository for internal ACM packages. One example being the LXDM themes used by the ACM/LUG workstations. It currently only supports packages with arch type “any”.

The PKGBUILDs and files are stored in a git repo on the ACM system.

https://acm.cs.uic.edu/git/sig-sysadmin/acm-packages

Add the mirror to the workstations pacman config

[uicacm]
SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
Server = http://mozart.acm.cs/acm-packages/archlinux/

then sync the repo DB

pacman -Sy

Currently the repo is hosted on mozart.acm.cs

The files are located under the standard archlinux http root /srv/http

Clone the repo and build the packages with makepkg. All the current version symlinks should be in place, but double check if you have updated a version.
