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`
That is in fact broken, because it sorts just like 'ls *': % ls *.pkg.tar.gz foo-1.2.3.1-1.pkg.tar.gz foo-1.2.3-1.pkg.tar.gz % find . -name \*.pkg.tar.gz|sort ./foo-1.2.3.1-1.pkg.tar.gz ./foo-1.2.3-1.pkg.tar.gz /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus
