Dan McGee cd8747ba6d Unify modelines in Asciidoc files
This gets us close to using the same modeline in all files we run
through Asciidoc, as well as adding the spell and spelllang
declarations, just as we had in NEWS already.

The choice of 'en_us' is mainly for consistency and because the body of
work already uses these spellings.

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