I've rolled out version 20180920 of Parabola dbscripts.
TL;DR: db-import-pkg now uses db-move/db-update/db-remove internally.
I've been sitting on this for a while (since the 3rd), but didn't want
to roll out an update (especially *this* update) with the bug tracker
or mailing list down.
Changes from 20180826 to 20180920:
- db-import-pkg:
* Don't hard-code the list of upstreams, validate an upstream name
based on whether a config file for it exists.
* Merge the `db-import-${UPSTREAM}.conf` config files in to the
`config.local.${UPSTREAM}` config files. The `db-import-*.conf`
files no longer exist.
. db-import-pkg no longer takes UPSTREAM as an argument. The
upstream is now set by setting the DBSCRIPTS_CONFIG= environment
variable.
. OURPKGPOOL is now called PKGPOOL.
. OURSRCPOOL is now called SRCPOOL.
* Use db-move/db-update/db-remove to edit the repos, instead of
editing them directly.
- db-update: Allow package files to be symlinks to packages in a
different PKGPOOL. Previously, package files could not be
symlinks. This allows for one package pool to inherit files from
another.
- default configuration: Change the mirror used when importing from
Arch Linux ARM.
Other notes:
- On winston.parabola.nu, I have run: sudo pacman -Sy dbscripts
This is a major change in the way db-import-pkg works. If anyone
noticed irregularities in the imported repositories, let me know.
