1 [Libre] Repo

1.2 How the repo works

1. Run db-update (tweaked), which:
   • Checks packages on staging
   • Test if they are files or links
     • if links: die
   • Check if splitpkgs are complete
   • Move packages to $PKGPOOL (fake)
   • Link packages on $PKGPOOL (fake) to repo
   • Add pkg on repo db
   • Move pkgs with "any" arch to $PKGPOOL
   • Link those pkgs on every arch db.
2. Run ftpdir-cleanup (tweaked), which:
   • Creates a sorted list of files in repo
   • Extracts DB to stdout and reads the %FILENAME% for each package.
   • Creates a sorted list named: db-${repo}-${arch}
   • If a package is in the db and not in the repo, print an error identifying missing packages.
   • If a package is in the repo and not in the db, it is considered an old package and removed from the repo.
   • Creates a list of all packages on all db's.
   • If a package is in pool and not in a db, it is cleaned.
   • Check any on repos:
     • If no packages in a dir, the dir is removed.
     • Remove packages in a dir and not in db.
3. Repo-maintainer:
   • Setup a logfile and counts time
   • Sync_all repo:
     • Get a list of packages to make an exclude list for rsync "rsync -a --no-motd --list-only "
     • Exclude packages on blacklist
     • Sync new packages "rsync -av --delay-updates --exclude=*.{abs|db}.tar.* "
     • Sync repo again, this time it updates db and deletes old packages "rsync -av --delete --exclude=*.abs.tar.* "
   • For repo and arch:
     • Get packages in db
     • Packages with "custom" licenses but not in blacklist or whitelist are added to pending-$repo.txt
     • Packages in blacklist are removed from db
   • add_free_repo
     • sync-free script is executed:
     • Copy files from free{community,core,extra,testing,pool} to it's equivalent in repo.
     • Sync libre, libre-testing, social and sugar to their own repo.
     • Packages are added to the db of the repo
   • get_license.sh is executed
     • Read pending.txt
     • Make a list of packages from the repos
     • Extract licenses to a tempdir
     • Move licenses to $pending-licenses-dir
4. sync-free script is executed again.
5. Files named *.abs.tar.gz are removed.
