OK, in that case I'm not so opposed. ;) If it looks like an easy fix,
go for it, otherwise I don't think it'd hurt to lose.
In the future, I was thinking some kind of configuration or syntax to
allow people to sync a predefined list of packages, instead of whole
repos. For example, if someone wanted to rebuild only wine, they
should be able to say "abs extra/wine" or have PKGS=(extra/wine) in
abs.conf and not be required to sync everything.
Dunno if that sounds like a good idea to you or not, but people have
requested on the forums some method to sync single packages (usually
as an argument to allow anon svn access)
Well, I had a quick attempt at fixing this. I can get the command line
arguments working but at the price of a rsync transaction per
arguement. In a coincidence "abs extra/wine" now works but syncs it
into /var/abs/wine instead of /var/abs/extra/wine. I should be able to
fix that though.
