NAME
       repose - an Archlinux repository compiler

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

DESCRIPTION
       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.

OPTIONS
       -h, --help
              Display help message.

       -V, --version
              Display version information.

       -v, --verbose
              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.

       -f, --files
              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.

       -l, --list
              List all packages and their current versions.

       -d, --drop
              Instead of adding the specified set of packages, instead drop
              them from the database.

       -s, --sign
              Create a detached PGP signature for the database.

       -r PATH, --root=PATH
              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.

       -p PATH, --pool=PATH
              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.

       -m ARCH, --arch=ARCH
              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.

       -j, --bzip2
              Compress the resulting database with bzip2(1).

       -J, --xz
              Compress the resulting database with xz(1).

       -z, --gzip
              Compress the resulting database with gzip(1).

       -Z, --compress
              Compress the resulting database with compress(1).

       --reflink
              Make repose create reflinks instead of symlinks when compiling a
              repository.

       --rebuild
              Rather than attempting to update the existing database, rebuild
              it.
