				Arch Linux lister
				=================

				The Arch lister list origins from `archlinux.org`_, the official Arch Linux packages,
				and from `archlinuxarm.org`_, the Arch Linux ARM packages, an unofficial port for arm.

				Packages are put in three different repositories, `core`, `extra` and `community`.

				To manage listing those origins, this lister must be instantiated with a `flavours` dict.

				`flavours` default values::

				"official": {
				"archs": ["x86_64"],
				"repos": ["core", "extra", "community"],
				"base_info_url": "https://archlinux.org",
				"base_archive_url": "https://archive.archlinux.org",
				"base_mirror_url": "",
				"base_api_url": "https://archlinux.org",
				},
				"arm": {
				"archs": ["armv7h", "aarch64"],
				"repos": ["core", "extra", "community"],
				"base_info_url": "https://archlinuxarm.org",
				"base_archive_url": "",
				"base_mirror_url": "https://uk.mirror.archlinuxarm.org",
				"base_api_url": "",
				}

				From official Arch Linux repositories we can list all packages and all released versions.
				They provide an api and archives.

				From Arch Linux ARM repositories we can list all packages at their latest versions, they
				do not provide api or archives.

				As of August 2022 `archlinux.org`_ list 12592 packages and `archlinuxarm.org` 24044 packages.
				Please note that those amounts are the total of `regular`_ and `split`_ packages.

				Origins retrieving strategy
				---------------------------

				Download repositories archives as tar.gz files from https://archive.archlinux.org/repos/last/,
				extract to a temp directory and then walks through each 'desc' files.
				Repository archive index url example for Arch Linux `core repository`_ and Arch
				Linux ARM `extra repository`_.

				Each 'desc' file describe the latest released version of a package and helps
				to build an origin url and `package versions url`_ from where scrapping artifacts metadata
				and get a list of versions.

				For Arch Linux ARM it follow the same discovery process parsing 'desc' files.
				The main difference is that we can't get existing versions of an arm package
				because https://archlinuxarm.org does not have an 'archive' website or api.

				Page listing
				------------

				Each page is a list of package belonging to a flavour ('official', 'arm'), and a
				repo ('core', 'extra', 'community').

				Each line of a page represents an origin url for a package name with related metadata and versions.

				Origin url examples:

				* Arch Linux: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/mercurial
				* Arch Linux ARM: https://archlinuxarm.org/packages/armv7h/mercurial

				The data schema for each line is:

				* name: Package name
				* version: Last released package version
				* last_modified: Iso8601 last modified date from timestamp
				* url: Origin url
				* data: Package metadata dict
				* versions: A list of dict with artifacts metadata for each versions

				The data schema for `versions` within a line:

				* name: Package name
				* version: Package version
				* repo: One of core, extra, community
				* arch: Processor architecture targeted
				* filename: Filename of the archive to download
				* url: Package download url
				* last_modified: Iso8601 last modified date from timestamp, used as publication date
				for this version
				* length: Length of the archive to download

				Origins from page
				-----------------

				The origin url corresponds to:

				* Arch Linux: https://archlinux.org/packages/{repo}/{arch}/{name}
				* Arch Linux ARM: https://archlinuxarm.org/packages/{arch}/{name}

				Additionally we add some data set to "extra_loader_arguments":

				* artifacts: Represent data about the Arch Linux package archive to download,
				following :ref:`original-artifacts-json specification <original-artifacts-json>`
				* arch_metadata: To store all other interesting attributes that do not belongs to artifacts.

				Origin data example Arch Linux official::

				],
				},
				},

				Running tests
				-------------

				Activate the virtualenv and run from within swh-lister directory::

				pytest -s -vv --log-cli-level=DEBUG swh/lister/arch/tests

				Testing with Docker
				-------------------

				Change directory to swh/docker then launch the docker environment::

				docker-compose up -d

				Then connect to the lister::

				docker exec -it docker_swh-lister_1 bash

				And run the lister (The output of this listing results in “oneshot” tasks in the scheduler)::

				swh lister run -l arch
