I don't this is needed. build-local automatically re-indexes when used anyway.
Maybe it would be needed if you only removed some local packages, and then wanted to use the local repository for installation.

Also, in the spirit of go-task commands I just learned: go-task build-localindex

Thanks for the feedback. I think it's safer to recommend re-indexing whenever someone removes eopkg files. It will help prevent someone's repo being in an unknown state if they come to us for help.
Good point about the go-task, I've updated the command to reflect that.

I've also changed a couple of other manual commands to be go-task commands, thanks to ermo's reminder

We have go-task list-local (lists files in Local repo) and go-task clean-local (removes .eopkgs in local repo) tasks now, so those can be used instead for convenience.
