+# arch-pkgs
+
+These are some meta packages that I use to simplify my arch linux installation.
+This is loosely based on [mdaffin/arch-pkgs][mdaffin/arch-pkgs]
+
+and its accompanying [blog posts](https://disconnected.systems/blog/archlinux-repo-in-aws-bucket)
+about this topic.
+
+Additionally, I attempt to build a custom arch linux installation medium here using
+[Archiso](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Archiso) that features an installer script
+also similar to [mdaffin/arch-pkgs][mdaffin/arch-pkgs] and where my repository is already set up.
+
+At the time of writing, I intend to host these built packages at [mkessler-arch.maximilian-kessler.de][https://mkessler-arch.maximilian-kessler.de], though there is obviously no guarantee that this will be the case in the future.
+
+If you are interested in this, see this more as a starting point to set up your own stuff,
+since these packages are highly customized.
+
+I do not have the goal to produce generally usable packages here.
