REBUILDRESET(1)

💖 REBUILDRESET 💖

okay bestie, so this is rebuildreset, and it's the reset button for rebuild 💅 no cap. It lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of your manual, and it's about to be your new fave little helper, fr fr.

✨ NAME ✨

rebuildreset — Reset package for rebuild 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPIS 🌸

(and yes, that's literally how it's spelled, we don't make the rules 💀)

rebuilreset [--config FILE] [--changed] < PACKAGE_LIST

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the vibe: this tool resets packages that you list on standard input, or in a file that you name in the positional arguments. Why tho? So that the next time rebuildperl(1) runs, it looks at those packages and goes "oh?? not rebuilt yet??" 😌 iconic behaviour, honestly.

This is a helper for rebuildperl(1) 🫶 and it assumes the packages have already been populated by rebuildperl. So don't come in here cold, okay? It's giving backstage crew, not main character.

Here's what it actually does, no cap:

• It will reset the local repository.
• It removes all stage locks except .clone. (yes, .clone stays. it's special. it's the exception. periodt.)
• It will also edit all, done, and failed package lists (see the configuration) accordingly.
• (It will remove changed packaged from done and failed list.)

And with other options, the set of packages to reset can be reduced more ✨ like, you can be picky about it, and honestly? valid.

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

• --config FILE — read configuration from FILE, or from ~/.rebuildperlrc if you don't specify one. default behaviour, cute behaviour 💖
• --changed — reset only packages whose remote repository has changed (e.g. there's a newer version). It compares the local copy of the origin GIT repository with the repository on the remote server, and if it finds the HEADs are different, it will reset the package. Otherwise, the package will not be reset. lowkey a vibe check for your repos 😌

If the failedtemp configuration option is defined and there is an error while checking the remote repository, the faulting package will be logged into the failedtemp file. This is because talking to a GIT server can result into intermittent network error that can disappear on next retry. (networks are messy, bestie, we've all been there 😭)
