Change Details

# Synchrotron Synchrotron syncs package from Debian into the appropriate suites. E.g. Debian `testing` is synced to `landing`. This syncs source and binary packages. If a package in PureOS had downstream modifications (indicated by a `pureos` in the version number) it is excluded from the sync. Also packages than vanish from Debian are removed if possible. # Remove a package If you want to remove a downstream fork of a package in Debian please file a removal request ([example](https://tracker.pureos.net/T1009)) via the issue tracker. The PureOS admins can then remove the package. # Removing the package (as admin) This is useful if one wants to remove a downstream forked package for example; ``` sudo -u dak -s synchrotron sync unstable landing main <package name> --force ``` This command would force a sync between PureOS landing's "main" suite with Debian unstable. ##Links: * [overview of packages that need manual intervention](https://master.pureos.net/synchrotron/) * [list of packages that are excluded from the sync](https://master.pureos.net/synchrotron/blacklist)
