Maximum file size exceeded: wrong file size in database about repoctl HOT 2 OPEN

Hey @mygithubthrowaway,

first of all welcome and thanks for opening an issue!
I'll have a look into this as soon as I find some time.
I don't expect that to necessarily be this week, but it'll definitely be on my radar!

Here are a few notes for starters though:

• Currently, repoctl has its own routines for reading packages and databases, but it uses repo-add under the hood to add packages to the database.
• There have occassionaly been problems when running repoctl update while building packages in the repository itself.

Question: Are you strictly running repoctl add or repoctl update after compilation and packaging is complete?
If you aren't, this is currently an "undefined-behavior" area of repoctl: adding a package while it's not yet all there.
It's still an issue I want to solve, I've just been unable to reproduce the issue.

Hi @cassava thanks for your kind reply

Yes I was using repoctl update, now I solved by removing the file before and using repoctl add -m <package>.

I don't expect that to necessarily be this week, but it'll definitely be on my radar!

thanks, but It's not an urgent issue so please take it easy :)

have a nice holidays

I will let you decide if you want to close or keep this issue open
