Description Ahmad Samir 2011-03-17 17:44:07 CET

Assuming there's a new tarball in SOURCES-bin, executing mgarepo up deletes old tarball, gets new tarball, but the symlink to the old tarball in SOURCES/ isn't deleted. (and it keeps flashing... flashing... flasshing red when you do an ls SOURCES :)).

mgarepo up is there to upload a new binary, not to delete one i would say.
magrepo sync -c is probably the best way to update a binary (because it's just about update until i misread) and it's going to take care about the symlinks in SOURCES :)

'mgarepo up' is not 'mgarepo upload', different functions.

Maybe a dupe of bugÂ #463?

Not exactly the same I think. mgarepo sync now ignore incorrect symlinks (bug #463), but mgarepo up should still remove them.

I am closing this bugreport because we do not use symplinks anymore with new binrepo structure.
