DESCRIPTION
gendistrib is a tool that helps to generate the structure of a Mandriva RPM repository, compatible with Mandriva tools (urpmi, rpmdrake, etc.)General Structure of a Repository
A typical repository, under a root directory /ROOT/, has the following structure:
ROOT/ - media/ |- contrib/ | `- media_info/ |- main/ | `- media_info/ `- media_info/
In this example, we have two media, called main and contrib. The RPMs packages are placed in the main and contrib subdirectories. Repository metadata is contained in the top-level media_info directory. Per-media metadata are contained in the main/media_info and contrib/media_info subdirectories.
Configuration of the distribution tree
Before using gendistrib, you must create a file media_info/media.cfg to describe your repository. (An empty file will work, but this isn't recommended.) The syntax of this file is reminiscent of .ini files.
A first section "[media_info]" contains global information about the repository:
[media_info] version=2006.0 branch=Cooker arch=i586
Then, supply one section per media.
[main] hdlist=hdlist_main.cz name=Main
Here, the "hdlist" parameter specifies what will be the name of the hdlist file in the top-level media_info directory. "name" is a human readable label for the media.
Operation
gendistrib should be passed the ROOT directory as parameter. It will then generate the hdlist and synthesis files and all other files needed for proper repository operation.
