How do I create a repo on a local folder

I use FaunOS which is a live version of Arch. The build is somewhat outdated but at any rate,
Sometimes I need to install or upgrade a package for a session, but do not necessarily need to save it in the squashfs overlay.
i copied the files out of /var/cache/pacman/pkg into a local folder. I can do something like
pacman -U /path/file/*
but this is kind of ugly, as I have to make sure I clean the cache between installing different apps and copying them to an appropriately named folder so I don't end up installing a whole bunch of things I don't need, hence taking up the live memory.
I know there is a way to do call pacman o install a file and just its dependencies from a local folder by somehow telling it that the folder is a repo, but I forget how, and posting to the FaunOS forums has been down for some time.

My system uses ....pacman --cachedir /mnt/md/upgrade....
I have a raid0 array of three Compact Flash cards which have combined read speed of 133MB/s and 22MB storage space. These are combined and accessed in /mnt/md (using mdadm soft raid).
This system is in use in FaunOS and in x86_64 on the same machine.
In addition to the pacman files, I also have pix and video files and some seldom used folders with pacman packages which include depends and are addressed when needed.
The key to the arrangement is the ...--cachedir.. as provided by pacman. The files are .pkg.tar.gz and are installed with pacman -U (package .tar.gz)
In FaunOS, this installs the package in ram via aufs but does not retain the package in reboot unless "save" is enabled.
I have had this system for four or more months now and use it a lot.
I hope this info is helpful................

How do I create an alias of my home folder with the little house icon to appear on my desktop, please?

In Mavericks, how do I create an alias to my home folder, complete with the little house icon, to put on my desktop, please? I can get the folder, but not with the icon.

Open Finder. Under Preferences > Sidebar > Devices > check Hard disks.
Navigate to your home folder from "Macintosh HD" (or whatever the name of your boot volume is) in the finder. Set the view to column.
Once you reach the path of your home folder, select it, hold down the key combination option + command and drag the alias to your desktop.

How do I create an un-copy-able file/folder/drive?

Hello thanks in advance for help.
I'm trying to prepare a thumb drive with confidential financial information. I only want to see the information off the drive, but I don't want it to be copied or stolen from it.
How can I create a thumb drive that is read only, a folder that is read only, or make my files on the drive read only?
Do I have to make those changes after the files are on the device?
Or, better said, how can I create a file/folder that I can copy TO a drive, but not FROM that drive.
Thanks

Hi, and welcome to the forums.
There is no 100% secure data. None. If the CIA or NSA wants it, they'll get it.
In the real world, you might be better off using Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder) to create an encrypted +Disk Image+ or +Sparse Bundle Disk Image.+ Give it a good password and put your sensitive files in it.
Then anybody who gets the drive will have to know the password or find another way to decrypt it. Short of somebody like the CIA or NSA, that's pretty unlikely.

How do I create an account from a home folder already on the hard drive?

I did the archive and install option after my Microsoft Office starting acting up. Unfortunately, it had an error about half way through, leaving my old accounts under the "Previous Systems" folder without migrating them. I managed to do a fresh install of Tiger on the drive, and can see the user folder fine.
How do I take that user's folder and create an account out of it? The migration assistant doesn't see it because it is on the same volume. Can I just drag the folder to the "users" folder on Machintosh HD?

How do I create a new mailbox file, not folder. My primary mailbox file is getting too large and I want to split it into multiple physical files.

I have done this multiple times in the past (I have several files - not folders - that contain mail). However due to the fact that II was somewhat brain damaged several years ago I can no longer remember (or figure out) how to do it. For instance, I have a "MoreJunque" mailbox file that is (from the "Properties" dialog) at mailbox:///C:/Users/Daniel Mathews/AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/bxk6ngnt.default/Mail/pop.att.yahoo.com/MoreJunque. However, my inbox is in mailbox:///C:/Users/Daniel Mathews/AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/bxk6ngnt.default/Mail/pop.att.yahoo.com/Inbox. These are unique files that contain folders.

right click on your account on the left and select new folder.

How do I create a new emkey for Enterprise Manager Database Control?
I do have a copy of my old key but it is no longer good because I reinstalled the repository with these commands:

Oh, and where is emctl "documented".
I poked around in some book-index links and with the search engine.
I could not find anything.
Thanks,

This means it is not possible to create a pure unicode file without the byte order mark?
You wouldn't happen to know how a file with byte order mark should read on a Linux system?
Or if this possible or not?

TS2756 How can i create a new usb connection (service) on my iMac for sharing internet from my iPhone5 ( i seem have to deleted it )

How can i create a new usb connection (service) on my iMac for sharing internet from my iPhone5 ( i seem have to deleted it )
i know its not a problem whit my carrier o data plan or sharing preferences on the ipone because when i use it un my laptop it works perfectly through
the usb and even works on the Imac through wifi and bluethood tethering but NOT through usb!!.
the problem is that trying to make it work i deleted the "profile" usb iphone on the network prefereces panel. Now i only have 3 options: ethernet / wifi / bluetooth
but not the usb iPhone i used to have.
And when i try to add a new one i dont get a USB option.
can some one help me please??
this is how it looks (after the bluetooth PAN i used to have USB iPhone option)

The question would be more appropriate in the Mac forums as it is not really related to the iPhone.

How can I create a new layer that is a gradient?

Hi, i'm very new to photoshop scripting and am having some trouble.
I'm looking for a way to take an image i have and set it to have a gradient opacity as it approaches the middle, my thought on how to do that was to just create a layer that is a gradient from top left to bottom right and then attach that as a vector mask.
Any ideas on how I could create this gradient layer in script, or a better method of doing this opacity gradient?
Thanks in advance,
Levianth

You could try this:
// 2012, use it at your own risk;
#target photoshop
if (app.documents.length > 0) {
var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
var theLayer = myDocument.activeLayer;
if (theLayer.isBackgroundLayer == true) {theLayer.isBackgroundLayer = false};
// create gradient layer;

How do I create a new icloud email address for my apple id?

Hi there
How do I create a new icloud email address for my apple id? My original email address is associated with my previous employers.
When I send email from my Macbook, it seems as if I still work there, which is a problem.
I would like to use the email address that I created for my iPad.
When I login with my appleid (for my macbook) I keep getting the old company one, not the new one.
Is there any way of resolving this? I
Thanks

How can I create a new ring tone for my iPhone 4?

How can I create a new ring tone for my iPhone 4? I followed the Garage Band process and ended up with the ring tone I want as a AAC audio file. It got stored in my iTunes a a song rather than a ring tone. How do I make it a ring tone vs. a song? I tried dragging it t the Ring Tone category at the bottom of the ITunes list, but it won't alloow me to move it?

There's also an easy to use Applescript over at Doug's Applescripts for iTunes. It automates the whole thing. All you do is set the start and stop time on a file in iTuens and run the script. It will do everything else.
