"AM" 6.5

on GitHub

New option "neodb", to configure your third-party repositories with ease!

Given the guide about the "neodb" configuration file, at https://github.com/ivan-hc/neodb , now you can create it and add repositories using both "AM" and "AppMan".

USAGE:

To add a new repository, run the following command:

am neodb

or

appman neodb

You will be given three prompts:

1. Give a name to the repository (this is optional, if blank it will be named "[ Unknown repo ]");
2. Copy/paste the URL of a random script from your repository custom to set the source directory online, if not valid, exits (see here to made it a valid one);
3. Copy/paste the URL of the $arch-apps list used by options -a, -l and -q, if not valid, exits (see here to made it a valid one).

NOTE: If prompts 2 and 3 are blank or are invalid URLs/files, the process will exit and you will have to start over.

The "neodb" configuration file will be created only on the first successful attempt.

By default the "STATUS=quiet" flag that let the main CLI to show the message "Source: Third party repositories are enabled" is commented out (i.e. starts with "#"). To quick uncomment the flag (without having to open a text editor), run the command:

am neodb --silent

or

appman neodb --silent

this way the message will no longer appear.

Remove/disable third paty repositories

• To remove third party repositories, go to the directory where the "neodb" configuration file is located and do it manually.
• To disable all third party repositories, just remove/rename the "neodb" configuration file.

Again, visit https://github.com/ivan-hc/neodb for more information about custom repositories.
