Hi,
installing new packages into a repo is easy with mini-dinstall there's
no easy way to get rid of them again. I'd be great if mini-dinstall
could be told by command files dropped into incoming to remove packages.
The format could be compatible with .command files:

Since this could then be handled by dput once #302292 is fixed:

Cheers,

Is there any update on this? I was trying to figure out how to rm a
package from an existing mini-dinstall archive.

Thanks,
 Paul

just delete the files in the archive and run "mini-dinstall -b --no-db"
