repoctl new config: hardcoded .tar.gz suffix about repoctl HOT 10 CLOSED

Hey @AladW, thanks for this report also,

Quick question: is this just about the path, or is it about the actual format of the database? The database needs to be tarred at minimum, because it's a directory tree internally.
The repo-add command creates a symlink from custom.db to custom.db.tar.gz, correct?

from repoctl.

Good point, it would indeed be about the path; as a comparison, database
files in /var/lib/pacman/sync/foo.db don't have a .tar extension either.

repo-add does create a symbolic link:

% stat custom.db
File: 'custom.db' -> 'custom.db.tar'
Size: 13 Blocks: 0 IO Block: 4096 symbolic link

Hi @AladW, can you have a look at commit e056c64 and see if this solves your problem?

My experience was that repo-add wants to have the whole database, i.e. custom.db.tar.gz, and so if you supply something else it won't work. But maybe I am mistaken.

The repoctl-git AUR package is broken, so I'm having some trouble building repoctl to test this; I ran:

mkdir ~/go
export GOPATH=~/go
export GOBIN=$GOPATH/bin
export PATH=$PATH:~/$GOBIN
go get github.com/cassava/repoctl
cd ~/src/github.com/cassava/repoctl
git checkout devel
go build
go install

But for some reason the ~/go/bin directory stays empty (note: the master branch with go get works fine)

from repoctl.

I guess it's kinda confusing :-)

You have a typo at cd ~/src/github.com/cassava/repoctl (missing the go directory).
You have to do go install in cmd/repoctl, because that's where the binary is. You can also do go install ./cmd/... to install all commands, which would be repoctl and repols.

from repoctl.

On a sidenote: I don't control the repoctl-git AUR package sadly, so I can't fix it. Personally, I don't think the package is necessary.

Ok, the latest repoctl requires the repository database to be specified with some extension that signifies how it is compressed (if at all). Thus .tar and .tar.gz and .tar.xz should all work. If this is omitted, and only mine.db is given, for example, then it will fail.

With your corrections it installed, thanks.

When creating a new config with an extension:

repoctl new config /var/cache/pacman/custom/custom.db.tar
Writing new configuration file at /home/archie/.config/repoctl/config.toml ...

It works as expected:
https://paste.xinu.at/TA8/

Doing the same without extension gives errors, also as expected:
https://paste.xinu.at/ROhW/
https://paste.xinu.at/sFQz/

Perhaps it would be clearer if the user is warned right away, if he created a config file without one of the supported extensions.

from repoctl.

Alright, since 3d3de22 the user is warned now on every run if an error occurred.

@cassava the repoctl-git AUR package was orphaned
