Hi all,
So looking at abs I noticed it at some stage had the ability to sync
single
repos:
abs --help
Arch Build System 2.1 -- synchronization utility
usage: /usr/bin/abs [options] [repository1 [repository2 ...]]
<snip>
If no argument is given, abs will synchronize the repositories specified
in
/etc/abs.conf.
But this no longer works... I'm guessing this came about with the switch
to
rsync. Given it has been a while since the switch to rsync, I'm
concluding
that nobody actually uses this and will remove it rather than fix it.
Any
objections?
Um, actually, that feature came about WITH the switch to rsync. How
doesn't it work?
Well, "abs core" syncs every repo, including the ones I have disabled in
/etc/abs.conf. It is because repos are disabled from being synced, not
enabled. Am I doing something wrong?
Doesn't sound like you're doing anything wrong. :/ In any case, I
don't think stripping that feature out is the proper way to go - it
shoud be fixed if it's broken, not removed.
Wait wait - are you talking about JUST the command-line functionality?
ie. keeping the REPOS=(...) abs.conf syntax, but just removing the
abs core
syntax?
I suppose that works - I thought you were planning on stripping the
repo-selection feature entirely.
I was talking about JUST the command-line functionality. That is the
bit the is broken and apparently no-one uses. Selection from abs.conf
will definitely stay.
