About
Pkgd makes it easy to share your pacman packages over a LAN. It can be used to avoid unnecessary downloads from the internet and thus save both time and bandwidth. Please read the man page for more information.
Network Topology
This graph gives a quick overview of how pkgd works. The user on machine U will first query the master server, M, for a package. If M has that package, it will be sent back to U. If not, M will query the slave servers, S1 through S5, until the package is found. If the package is found, U will be forwarded to the slave which has the package. If the package cannot be found, M will return a "not found" message and U will then move on to query the servers from the mirrorlist (i.e. on the external network).
Powerpill & Bauerbill
Pkgd is integrated into both powerpill and bauerbill. When using either, no error messages are displayed when a package cannot be found.
