• python
• python-virtualenv

More detail in requirements.txt and requirements_prod.txt; it is best to use virtualenv and pip to handle these. But if you insist on (Arch Linux) packages, you will probably want the following:

• mysql-python or python-pysqlite
• django
• python-markdown
• python-south
• python-memcached

1. Run virtualenv.

    $ cd /path/to/archweb && virtualenv ../archweb
   

2. Install dependencies through pip.

    $ pip install -r requirements.txt
   

3. Copy local_settings.py.example to local_settings.py and modify. Make sure to uncomment the appropriate db section (either sqlite or mysql).

4. Sync the database to create it.

    $ ./manage.py syncdb
   

5. Migrate changes.

    $ ./manage.py migrate
   

6. Load the fixtures to prepopulate some data.

    $ ./manage.py loaddata main/fixtures/arches.json
    # ./manage.py loaddata main/fixtures/repos.json
    # ./manage.py loaddata mirrors/fixtures/mirrorprotocols.json
   

7. Use the following commands to start a service instance

    $ ./manage.py runserver
   

8. To optionally populate the database with real data:

    $ wget ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/core/os/i686/core.db.tar.gz
    $ ./manage.py reporead i686 core.db.tar.gz
   

Alter architecture and repo to get x86_64 and packages from other repos if needed.

Ask someone who knows, or you are going to be in trouble.
