Clearvanished Reprepro Repository

As you update your conf/distributions by removing certain distribution from the list, reprepro will complain that there are unused Codename(s) and Suite(s). This section is to guide you how to clean up the database and packages after you removed the distributions.

Clear Vanished Packages and Databases

There are 2 stages for clearvanished depending on the given argument. clearvanished will always clear package databases that no longer appeared in the conf/distributions. However, it does not clear the existing packages. Supply the argument --delete will clean the repository together. Hence, the command will turn out to be:

reprepro --basedir /path/to/base/directory \

         --outdir /path/to/output/directory \

         --confdir /path/to/config/directory \

         --dbdir /path/to/database/directory \

         --logdir /path/to/log/directory \

         --delete clearvanished

That's all for clearing reprepro repository.
