+'repo-add' and 'repo-remove' are two scripts to help build a package database for
packages built with linkman:makepkg[8] and installed with linkman:pacman[8].
+They also handle package deltas produced by linkman:pkgdelta[8].
-repo-add will update a package database by reading a built package file.
-Multiple packages to add can be specified on the command line.
+'repo-add' will update a package database by reading a built package or package
+delta file. Multiple packages and/or deltas to add can be specified on the
+command line.
-repo-remove will update a package database by removing the package name

+A package database is a tar file, optionally compressed. Valid extensions are
+``.db'' or ``.files'' followed by an archive extension of ``.tar'',
+``.tar.gz'', ``.tar.bz2'', ``.tar.xz'', or ``.tar.Z''. The file does not need
+to exist, but all parent directories must exist.
