Pacman Repository Hosting

The pacman repository created from this repo is published to GitHub Pages by the GitHub Action in this repo. The repository should already be set up in wf-pacman like this at the bottom of /opt/wonderful/etc/pacman.conf:

[blocksds]
Server = https://blocksds.skylyrac.net/packages/rolling/linux/$arch/

For forks or alternative repos, pspdev in the url in the Server setting should be replaced with the owner of the fork. When forking, make sure to set the GitHub Pages source to GitHub Actions in the settings of the GitHub repo.
