GitLab now enforces expiry dates on tokens that originally had no set expiration date. Those tokens were given an expiration date of one year later. Please review your personal access tokens, project access tokens, and group access tokens to ensure you are aware of upcoming expirations. Administrators of GitLab can find more information on how to identify and mitigate interruption in our documentation.

search: new command to search packages across repos

A wrapper around aptly repo search with extra features:

filtering by --repo
filtering by --distro
useful output --format options:
- full: like aptly
- short: one package entry for all archs
- version: versions summary
- arch: archs summary
- count: package counts

remove: new command to remove packages from repos

A wrapper around aptly repo remove with extra features:

same options as arepo search which can be used to refine queries
- filtering by --repo
- filtering by --distro
- useful output --format options
unlike search, remove package query must be explicit (default Name would remove ALL packages)
--ask safety option (default) prints affected packages in specified --format and asks for user confirmation before package removal
