eit-lock(1) =========== :man source: eit {eitversion} :man manual: eit {eitversion} NAME ---- eit-lock - lock repository SYNOPSIS -------- eit lock [-h] [--client | --status] [--quiet] INTRODUCTION ------------ Locking a repository is a way to prevent other Entropy Server or Entropy Client instances (depending on given switches) from accessing the remote repository. In case of Entropy Server locking (default, --client switch not provided), *eit lock* tries to acquire a remote lock on each configured mirror that only involves other Entropy Server instances (you won't be able to update your repositories if you don't own the remote lock). When --client is provided instead, *eit lock* places a lock on remote mirrors that prevents Entropy Clients from downloading the repository: this is just a band aid that avoids users to get broken packages or repositories. *eit unlock* does the symmetrical job. OPTIONS ------- "eit lock" supports the following options which alters its behaviour. POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ **:: repository OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *--help*:: show this help message and exit *--client*:: affect entropy clients only *--status*:: show current status *-q*:: quiet output, for scripting purposes AUTHORS ------- Eit has been accidentally prototyped during a rainy Sunday by Fabio Erculiani who was looking for innovative ways of handling package bumps in Sabayon Entropy repositories. A few months later, Eit saw the light. REPORTING BUGS -------------- Report bugs to https://bugs.sabayon.org or directly to the author at lxnay@sabayon.org. SEE ALSO -------- eit(1), eit-unlock(1)
