Without looking at the script, I imagine it has to do with calculating the path used in %FILENAME% in the db entries. it *does* support full paths: %FILENAME% foo/bar/somepkg-1.0.pkg.tar.gz

Actually, I didn't check that carefully, but here is how filename is generated by repo-add : echo -e "%FILENAME%\n$(basename "$1")\n" >>desc And at the beginning of db_write_entry function : local pkgfile=$(readlink -f "$1") So that means readlink is not used for the FILENAME, and only the basename of the file is put there, so not the full path.
