your recent update of the i686 tree screwed up the symlinks for 'repo.db' again, which in turn broke my build. Furthermore, you've again deleted older versions of the updated packages even though I repeatedly asked you not to.
Is there a local access and is the naming policy strict enough so that the removal of the old packages can be handled by a simple script over the text listing of the repository directory?
Yes, there is local access, and yes it's easy to extract version info from the filenames alone. I've attached a script I use to list *all* old versions of all packages in a directory; my typical usage is "rm `repo-tidy`".
If so then lets just write a script which keeps the last two versions of everything.
Feel free to modify the script.
I already proposed this but there was no response and it looks like it is still an issue.
Well, to be rather blunt, it's an issue I don't care about at all, so I was waiting for someone who cares to hack it up :-) /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus
