Here's the script I use to generate the pkglists every time I sync. It
is a little bit rough and it doesn't work with srclists yet:
#!/bin/sh
umask 333
FLAGS="-av $@"
MANDRAKE_SERVER=ftp.uninett.no
DEST=/export/dump/mirror/Mandrake-devel
MODULE=Mandrake-devel
TEMP=/tmp/$$.mandrake-sync
trap "rm -f $TEMP" INT TERM
function gen_pkglists
{
local COMPONENTS="cooker contrib"
local topdir=$DEST/cooker/i586/Mandrake
local basedir=$topdir/base
# we need the link so that 'genpkglist' can find the RPMs
ln -sf $topdir/RPMS $topdir/RPMS.cooker
ln -sf $DEST/contrib/RPMS $topdir/RPMS.contrib
# and this for the SRPMs
ln -sf $DEST/cooker/SRPMS $topdir/SRPMS.cooker
ln -sf $DEST/contrib/SRPMS $topdir/SRPMS.contrib
for component in $COMPONENTS; do
genpkglist --bloat --index $TEMP $topdir $component
bzip2 -c $basedir/pkglist.$component >
$basedir/pkglist.$component.bz2
#gensrclist $topdir $component $TEMP
#bzip2 -c $basedir/srclist.$component >
$basedir/srclist.$component.bz2
done
}
# the files to include
cat > $TEMP <<EOF
