repo-add; add option to remove existing package files from disk
When maintaining a custom repo, often it is undesirable to retain older versions of packages. This patch adds the --remove option to remove the current package file and it's signature from disk before adding the new one to the database. Documentation is also updated. This is an optional flag and default behaviour (leaving ondisk files alone) is not changed. Signed-off-by: Phillip Smith <fukawi2@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
