eit-lock(1)
===========
:man source: eit {eitversion}
:man manual: eit {eitversion}
NAME
----
eit-lock - lock repository
SYNOPSIS
--------
eit lock [-h] [--client | --status] [--quiet] <repo>
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
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*<repo>*::
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.
