Using pacman to update just one repo

I frequently use ABS, and as I understand it after you make a new package in /var/abs/local, you have to run gensync to update your local repository, then sync pacman with it. I tell pacman to use wget for file transfers, and I have a lot of unofficial repositories in my pacman.conf, so every time I run pacman -Sy, it takes it a few minutes to sync with all the repositories, but often I only want to update my local one. Is there any way to do this with pacman right now?
edit: if you wonder why I don't just control+c out of it after it syncs local, it's because I use wget as my download agent, and after you kill one wget it goes and tries the next repository mirror, so you're holding it down for ~10 seconds before it cancels everything. And it looks messy

the nice thing about having each repo in a seperate include file like the default setup is...you can easily do the above.
rock on pacman!
cactus for the win!
I never knew that... even though I'd rarely use it, that's awesome.  Thanks.

  • Updating JUST ONE topic in linked FrameMaker book

    I am trying to figure out exactly how the Update, Force
    Update, and Update All picks work in the TCS. It seems like
    everytime I make even a small change in a linked Frame doc, I slect
    Update to synch my help system and then end up losing all of the
    manual work I have done in RH!!! :-(
    Please Help!

    If you have, say, 30 chapters in a FrameMaker book, you can
    update the content in RoboHelp by each chapter. That is, you don't
    need to update the whole book when you want to update the chapter.
    Use "Update" for one document and "Update All" for all FrameMaker
    documents/books in RoboHelp project. However, you cannot Update by
    HTML topic in RoboHelp. For example, if a chapter in FrameMaker is
    converted to 15 topics in RoboHelp, you need to update the whole
    chapter.
    There is another powerful feature in RoboHelp which helps you
    preserve the topics in RoboHelp from any update. Right click on the
    FrameMaker document (chapter in a book) and select properties. In
    one of the tabs, you can select topics which you don't want to get
    updated when you update the Chapter. This feature is powerful
    however should be used with caution.
    I hope this helps

  • If I want use my card for just one purchase, will my card info be kept on file against my will?.

    I have set up an account without credit card. I do not want my credit card attached to that account. I want to make a single purchase using my credit card but I do not want my card delails kept on file and to be used for any future purchases without my card details having to be re entered. It is looking very much like my card details will not only be used for this one purchase, but that my account will stop being a non credit card account and will have my card details assosiated with it from now on. How can I be assure me that my details will not be kept?
    It is bad enough that we have to trust that banks are secure enough to keep our details, but we should not have to trust Apple Co as well. It was once ilegal for companies to hold on to card details after a purchase had been completed, why is it now OK?

    If you enter card details, you can only remove them by changing the payment method or if a None option is available in your account.

  • Good iOS5 update, just one error -35

    It is a success story.
    It took about 1hr and 40 minutes from the download of iOS5 to the complete restore from backup.
    Onle small glitch. At some point doing the restore from backup, the phone restarted and a error -35 appeared
    in iTunes. After the phone restarted, however, the backup continued and all apps and settings were all restored.
    BTW, my iPhone 3GS seems as responsive as before or better.

    There's been a problem with this all day.  Seems to be a server problem  -  wait a day and try again, or use itunes on the computer to update, that works.

    I just updated to itunes 10.3 & iOS 6.1 and I cannot download a song to my library! I get the error "This computer is already associated with an Apple ID. You can download past purchases on the computer with just one apple ID every 90 days. This computer can be used with a different Apple ID in 75 days." WHAT??
    I've never had problems before - my husband and I have used the same library for years.  My daughter also has her own Apple ID... are we going to have trouble with that, too?  Actually we have 4 Apple IDs - somewhere around 8 Apple devices... this is a huge issue for us... HELP

    Just to be clear - I just bought a new song and can't download it into the library because of this error message.

  • You can use iTunes Match on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 5 days.

    I only have 1 Apple ID.  I turned off iTunes Match on my iMac, and now I cannot turn it back on.  I get this error when I try to just turn iTunes Match back on, on the same computer, with the same Apple ID that I used orginially to subscribe to iTunes Match:
    This computer is already associated with an Apple ID.
    You can use iTunes Match on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 5 days.
    I checked for iTunes updates.  None are available since I am using the latest.
    I stopped/started iTunes.  I rebooted the iMac.
    NOTHING HELPS!!!!!!!!
    I have a Mac Mini and I use the same Apple ID on iTunes there.  I was able to turn iTunes Match off and back on with no trouble at all but my iMac refuses to allow me to turn on iTunes Match.
    Now what do I do?

    Unless you really only have one AppleID that you use with the iTunes Store there's really nothing you can do. In the case of having only one AppleID you should contact iTunes Store support, since that would be a server-side problem.

  • HT201269 I recently aquired a new iphone 4s because my old one broke. I backed it up on my itunes but now it wont give me the option of using the phone, it just says connect to itunes. I have synced it several times now and dont know what to do, please he

    I recently created a new apple ID
    Bad idea.
    Content bought with an Apple ID is forever associated with that Apple ID. Apple will not transfer content from one Apple ID to another and Apple will not merge Apple IDs. Unless you are prepared to forfeit all the previously purchased content and buy it all again with the new Apple ID, you will need to maintain the old ID to update and redownload your content.

  • How can I Publish to a Folder just one of the several websites I have created using iWeb?

    How can I Publish to a Folder just one of the several websites I have created using iWeb?
    it drives me nuts having to emove all the other websites when I want to upload one. 
    Sparrow

    For iWeb, I like to do only one site per domain file.  I move domain files out of the Application Support folder and place them inside project or client folders, or in DropBox. Once you duplicate a domain file and begin customizing it, it will load and behave as a separate project/site.
    I publish each iWeb domain/project direct to a server via FTP. Sometime I publish to a folder, then upload via FTP manually.
    iWeb is a remarkable tool, especially when you work from scratch with blank tamplates
    Here are a few of my iWeb sites:

  • I lost my iPhone device, how can I get my data back on another one without using an iCloud backup just back up on i Tunes, Please Help.

    I lost my iPhone device, how can I get my data back on another one without using an iCloud backup just back up on i Tunes, Please Help.??

    You can find the backup files and then copy them to a safe place if you are worrying about this.
    iTunes places the backup files in these places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your Home folder, hold Option and click the Go menu.
    Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata%, then press Return.
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, then choose Run. In the search bar, type %appdata%, then click OK.

    Go to Settings/General/Reset - Erase all content and settings. the connecto to iTunes and restore as a New phone. Do not restore any backup. If the problem persists you have a hardware problem. Take it to Apple for exchange.
    This assumes that the phone is not hacked or jailbroken. If it is you will have to go elsewhere on the internet for help.
