repose - an Archlinux repository compiler

repose [options] <database> [pkgs|deltas ...]

repose create and manipulates Archlinux repositories, automating their generation from a directory of packages. It scans the filesystem packages and for changes in those packages and compiles them into databases pacman understands.

Display help message.
Display version information.
Produce verbose output. When scanning for changes, repose will list every package that'll be added, dropped, or updated and will also list each database that's serialized to disk.
In addition to building the repository database, build a files database usable by pkgfile and keep it in sync with the main database. If this flag is not provided by a files database is found, this flag is implied.
List all packages and their current versions.
Instead of adding the specified set of packages, instead drop them from the database.
Create a detached PGP signature for the database.
Set the root of the repository where the database files will live. If the pool directory different from the root directory, maintain symlinks between the two so that the root directory also contains a link to all packages referenced by the repository. The default value if it isn't overridden is the current working directory.
Set the pool for the repository. The pool is where repose will scan for new, changed, or missing packages to update the repository database. The default value if it isn't overridden is the current working directory.
Set the primary architecture of the database. The database will only contain packages found for the architecture set in ARCH or marked as 'any'. If this argument is not provided, the machines architecture is assumed.
Compress the resulting database with bzip2(1).
Compress the resulting database with xz(1).
Compress the resulting database with gzip(1).
Compress the resulting database with compress(1).
Make repose create reflinks instead of symlinks when compiling a repository.
Rather than attempting to update the existing database, rebuild it.
