Do you remember Repoman?

Well…I was more busy in the last months: university, arch linux and real life take me more time.

Finally this night I worked on it, so I fixed a big number of bugs:

- fixed the annoying bug #3

- devel packages (svn, cvs, git, …) now build correctly

- keep option now checks for PKGBUILD in the <package> dir. This give more sense to this option

- repoman is more verbose now: it always says what it are doing

- fixed getopts options

- after built packages repoman asks to clean the pkgs directory; it will keep PKGBUILD, .install and others files needed

- fixed others stupids bugs

All these changes are available from the release 166. Enjoy!

Manage a repository seems simple, but is not. It takes a long time.
For this we, deelab’s boys, started to write a tool to keep simple the management of repositories; this is Repoman.

With Repoman you can add, remove or upgrade packages of your repository by running a single command script.

The software download the tarball directly from AUR, then extract files, build the package, insert/delete it into the repository’s database and add a line in ChangeLog file who keep trace of the actions made on your repository.

Obviously it can be found on AUR ;)
