I've noticied that repo-add will blindly overwrite the entry of an already added package with whatever you point it to. Even if the existing entry is for a version that is newer. It basically means that "repo-add repo.db.tar.gz *.pkg.tar.xz" doesn't work that well :-(

Is there some other tool for building a a repo db that doesn't follow my instructions so blindly? ;-)

I solved this with a bit of find and sort.

repo-add repo.db.tar.gz `find . -name "*.pkg.tar.gz" | sort`
