When maintaining a custom repo, often it is undesirable to retain older versions of packages. This patch adds the --remove option to remove the current package file and it's signature from disk before adding the new one to the database. Documentation is also updated. This is an optional flag and default behaviour (leaving ondisk files alone) is not changed. Signed-off-by: Phillip Smith <fukawi2@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>

Synopsis
|
|
--------
|
|
'repo-add' [options] <path-to-db> <package|delta> [<package|delta> ...]
|

|
'repo-remove' [options] <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.
|
|
|
|
A package database is a tar file, optionally compressed. Valid extensions are
|
|
``.db'' or ``.files'' followed by an archive extension of ``.tar'',
|
|
``.tar.gz'', ``.tar.bz2'', ``.tar.xz'', or ``.tar.Z''. The file does not need
|
|
to exist, but all parent directories must exist.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
*-k, \--key* <key>::
|
|
Specify a key to use when signing packages. Can also be specified using
|
|
the GPGKEY environmental variable. If not specified in either location, the
|
|
default key from the keyring will be used.
|
|
|
|
*-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.
|
|
|
|
*\--nocolor*::
|
|
Remove color from repo-add and repo-remove output.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
*-n, \--new*::
|
|
Only add packages that are not already in the database. Warnings will be
|
|
printed upon detection of existing packages, but they will not be re-added.
|
|
|
|
*-R, \--remove*::
|
|
Remove old package files from the disk when updating their entry in the
|
|
database.
