Eli Schwartz 860e4c4943 Remove all modelines from the project
Many of these are pointless (e.g. there is no need to explicitly turn on
spellchecking and language dictionaries for the manpages by default).

The only useful modelines are the ones enforcing the project coding
standards for indentation style (and "maybe" filetype/syntax, but
everything except the asciidoc manpages and makepkg.conf is already
autodetected), and indent style can be applied more easily with
.editorconfig

repo-add(8)
==========
Name
----
repo-add - package database maintenance utility
Synopsis
--------
'repo-add' [options] <path-to-db> <package|delta> [<package|delta> ...]
'repo-remove' [options] <path-to-db> <packagename|delta> [<packagename|delta> ...]
Description
-----------
'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 or package
delta file. Multiple packages and/or deltas to add can be specified on the
command line.
If a matching ``.sig'' file is found alongside a package file, the signature
will automatically be embedded into the database.
'repo-remove' will update a package database by removing the package name or
delta specified on the command line. Multiple packages and/or delta to remove
can be specified on the command line.
A package database is a tar file, optionally compressed. Valid extensions are
``.db'' 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.
Common Options
--------------
*-q, \--quiet*::
Force this program to keep quiet and run silently except for warning and
error messages.
*-s, \--sign*::
Generate a PGP signature file using GnuPG. This will execute `gpg
--detach-sign --use-agent` on the generated database to generate a detached
signature file, using the GPG agent if it is available. The signature file
will be the entire filename of the database with a ``.sig'' extension.
*-k, \--key* <key>::
Specify a key to use when signing packages. Can also be specified using
the GPGKEY environmental variable. If not specified in either location, the
default key from the keyring will be used.
*-v, \--verify*::
Verify the PGP signature of the database before updating the database.
If the signature is invalid, an error is produced and the update does not
proceed.
*\--nocolor*::
Remove color from 'repo-add' and 'repo-remove' output.
repo-add Options
----------------
*-d, \--delta*::
Automatically generate and add a delta file between the old entry and the
new one, if the old package file is found next to the new one.
*-n, \--new*::
Only add packages that are not already in the database. Warnings will be
printed upon detection of existing packages, but they will not be re-added.
*-R, \--remove*::
Remove old package files from the disk when updating their entry in the
database.
Example
-------
'repo-add' foo.db.tar.xz <pkg1> [<pkg2> ...]
This creates two separate databases; a smaller database ``foo.db.tar.xz'' used by
pacman and a large database containing package file lists ``foo.files.tar.xz'' for
use by other utilities. While pacman can use the large database (if renamed with a
db.tar* extension), there is currently no additional benefit for the larger download.
