# Maintaining packages in your own repository
|
|
It is important to maintain your repository when updates occur or if you want to add/remove packages. This page explains how to.
|
|
Note that after changing any files in your repository that you'll have to update them upstream. E.g. uploading the correct files.
|
|
|
|
## Adding packages
|
|
|
|
To add a package we first have to copy over the `.xbps` files to the repository directory. After that we can add them to the repository's `*-repodata`. You can add them by using:
|
|
```
|
|
$ xbps-rindex -a /path/to/repository/directory/*.xbps
|
|
```
|
|
We also have to sign the package with the key we generated whilst we set up the repository. This can be done by using:
|
|
```
|
|
$ xbps-rindex --privkey private.pem --sign-pkg /path/to/repository/directory/*.xbps
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Updating packages
|
|
If you have a new version of a package and want to add it to the repository there are a few steps that need to be done.
|
|
|
|
First add the new package to the `repodata`.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ xbps-rindex -a /path/to/repository/directory/*.xbps
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And then remove the obsolete packages.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ xbps-rindex -r /path/to/repository/directory/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Don't forget to sign the added packages
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ xbps-rindex --privkey private.pem --sign-pkg /path/to/repository/directory/*.xbps
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Removing packages
|
|
|
|
To remove a package you'll first have to remove the files from the repository and it's signature:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ rm /path/to/repository/directory/<foo>*
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After that you'll have to evoke `xbps-rindex` to clean up the repodata:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ xbps-rindex -c /path/to/repository/directory/
|
|
```
