[Gnu-arch-users] tla register-archive -M

[Anand Kumria]

Hi,

Typically Arch archives are specified by a pair of co-ordinates (archive
name, URL).  I'm seeing more and more Arch URLs (which is good) but the not
the archive name so much.

That is only a problem if you tend to mirror a lot (as I do).  Currently I
register the archive to determine it's name, de-register it and then
re-register is as archive-SOURCE

Here is a quick patch to register-archive which adds '-M' (similiar to tla
make-archive's -M) which registers Arch URLs as SOURCE.

You can grab the patch from the Arch co-ordinates:

As this is my first attempt at contributing do let me know if I've done
anything wrong or incorrect.

Thanks,
Anand
