Name
----
repo-add - package database maintenance utility

Synopsis
--------
'repo-add' [-d] [-f] [-q] [-s] [-v] <path-to-db> <package|delta> [<package|delta> ...]

'repo-remove' [-q] [-s] [-v] <path-to-db> <packagename|delta> [<packagename|delta> ...]


Description
-----------
'repo-add' and 'repo-remove' are two scripts to help build a package database for
packages built with linkman:makepkg[8] and installed with linkman:pacman[8].
They also handle package deltas produced by linkman:pkgdelta[8].

'repo-add' will update a package database by reading a built package or package
delta file. Multiple packages and/or deltas to add can be specified on the
command line.

'repo-remove' will update a package database by removing the package name or
delta specified on the command line. Multiple packages and/or delta to remove
can be specified on the command line.


Common Options
--------------
*-q, \--quiet*::
	Force this program to keep quiet and run silent except for warning and
	error messages.

*-s, \--sign*::
	Generate a PGP signature file using GnuPG. This will execute `gpg
	--detach-sign --use-agent` on the generated database to generate a detached
	signature file, using the GPG agent if it is available. The signature file
	will be the entire filename of the database with a ``.sig'' extension.

*-v, \--verify*::
	Verify the PGP signature of the database before updating the database.
	If the signature is invalid, an error is produced and the update does not
	proceed.

repo-add Options
----------------
*-d, \--delta*::
	Automatically generate and add a delta file between the old entry and the
	new one, if the old package file is found next to the new one.

*-f, \--files*::
	Tells repo-add also to create and include a list of the files in the
	specified packages. This is useful for creating databases listing all files
	in a given sync repository for tools that may use this information.
