repo-add(8)
==========
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.
If a matching ``.sig'' file is found alongside a package file, the signature
will automatically be embedded into the database.
'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'' 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 silently 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.
*-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.
Example
-------
'repo-add' foo.db.tar.xz <pkg1> [<pkg2> ...]
This creates two separate databases; a smaller database ``foo.db.tar.xz'' used by
pacman and a large database containing package file lists ``foo.files.tar.xz'' for
use by other utilities. While pacman can use the large database (if renamed with a
db.tar* extension), there is currently no additional benefit for the larger download.
