Description
-----------
'repo-add' and 'repo-remove' are two scripts to help build a package database for
packages built with linkman:makepkg[8] and installed with linkman:pacman[8].
-They also handle package deltas produced by linkman:pkgdelta[8].
-'repo-add' will update a package database by reading a built package or package
-delta file. Multiple packages and/or deltas to add can be specified on the
-command line.
+'repo-add' will update a package database by reading a built package file.
+Multiple packages to add can be specified on the command line.
If a matching ``.sig'' file is found alongside a package file, the signature
will automatically be embedded into the database.
-'repo-remove' will update a package database by removing the package name or
-delta specified on the command line. Multiple packages and/or delta to remove
-can be specified on the command line.
+'repo-remove' will update a package database by removing the package name
+specified on the command line. Multiple packages to remove can be specified
+on the command line.
A package database is a tar file, optionally compressed. Valid extensions are
``.db'' followed by an archive extension of ``.tar'', ``.tar.gz'', ``.tar.bz2'',
