✨ dpt-clean-mr-repos(1) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Debian Perl packaging Tools corner of the manual, where we do a lil spring cleaning on your local repos 🌸💅

💖 NAME 💖

dpt-clean-mr-repos — bestie edition: it deletes the local repos that ghosted salsa.debian.org 👻🚫

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

dpt clean-mr-repos [--force] [--help]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe: dpt clean-mr-repos goes through the repos chillin' locally in your DPT_PACKAGES directory and checks which ones are no longer in .mrconfig.packages — which basically means which ones aren't on salsa.debian.org anymore, in the group with active packages. gone. deleted. not invited to the group chat anymore 😭

lowkey important: the script needs dpt salsa mrconfig to have been run beforehand, because that's what creates .mrconfig.packages in the first place. no .mrconfig.packages, no vibe check. 🫶

and the actual removal? that only happens with --force. without it, this is a look, don't touch situation ✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • --help — shows this help. that's it, that's the option 💖
  • --force — okay so this is the one that actually removes the local repositories fr fr. without --force they're just listed, like a lil window-shopping situation, no destructive main character energy 💀

🌈 CONFIGURATION 🌈

dpt clean-mr-repos uses the "DPT_PACKAGES" environment variable, bestie. that's the one. 🎀

and if you want the full tea on it, see dpt-config(5) for details ✨
