Hi,
I am just wondering if we really need those *.old backup files that the dbscripts create. Even if something really went wrong. the old file most likely wont match the package set anyway and we could easily recreate it using repo-add.
So, any objection to remove those files and their creation from dbscripts?
So yes, these are created by repo-add as you noted. I don't have any objection from removing them from dbscripts, but for sane usages of repo-add these backup files are fine. By "sane", I mean all operations are batched into one go; e.g. adding 3 packages at once. I think Aaron has the right idea though and just don't copy the old files out of the temp directory. -Dan
