repose

An archlinux repo poking tool.

At the moment, a half baked and hacked together alternative to repo-add.

Usage

repose -Usf foo.db.tar.gz

Add all packages in the current directory to foo.db.tar.gz, build a corresponding files db and then sign both databases with gnupg.

Add a -c flag to also delete and files removed from the db and a second -c to also remove any other outdated packages in the cache.

repose -V foo.db.tar.gz

Verify the packages foo.db.tar.gz refers to can be accessed and the md5sum and sha256sum match.

repose -R foo.db.tar.gz pkg ...

Remove a package from the database. Add -c to also remove the files from disk.

repose -Q foo.db.tar.gz pkg ...

Print information about pkg much like how pacman -Qi pkg works

Compatability

Backwards compatibility to the original repo tools is provided. Simply make symlinks against repose

ln -s /usr/bin/repose /usr/bin/repo-add
ln -s /usr/bin/repose /usr/bin/repo-remove
ln -s /usr/bin/repose /usr/bin/repo-elephant
