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.
Hm... dunno if that'd be an acceptable trade-off. Might put too much
load on gerolde that way - one rsync transaction per package in our
repos? Yikes.
Not one rsync per package, one rsyn per command line parameter. So "abs
core extra" would rsync the core dir followed by rsyncing the extra dir.
