Hi all,
So looking at abs I noticed it at some stage had the ability to sync single repos:
abs --help
Arch Build System 2.1 -- synchronization utility usage: /usr/bin/abs [options] [repository1 [repository2 ...]]
<snip> If no argument is given, abs will synchronize the repositories specified in /etc/abs.conf.
But this no longer works... I'm guessing this came about with the switch to rsync. Given it has been a while since the switch to rsync, I'm concluding that nobody actually uses this and will remove it rather than fix it. Any objections?
Um, actually, that feature came about WITH the switch to rsync. How doesn't it work?
Well, "abs core" syncs every repo, including the ones I have disabled in /etc/abs.conf. It is because repos are disabled from being synced, not enabled. Am I doing something wrong?
Doesn't sound like you're doing anything wrong. :/ In any case, I don't think stripping that feature out is the proper way to go - it shoud be fixed if it's broken, not removed.
Wait wait - are you talking about JUST the command-line functionality? ie. keeping the REPOS=(...) abs.conf syntax, but just removing the abs core syntax? I suppose that works - I thought you were planning on stripping the repo-selection feature entirely.
