DESCRIPTION

This tool is an alternative to repsys and bm to manage packages in Mandriva build system, allowing to perform different actions on packages.

Most actions implements a single part of the package release cycle. For instance, the standard sequences of actions for updating a package already imported into the subversion repository is:

•

mdvsys checkout

•

manual modifications

•

mdvsys build

•

mdvsys sync

•

mdvsys commit

•

mdvsys submit

Other actions, tough, cover the whole update cycle of a single package, such as mdvsys update. And even the update cycle of several packages at once, such as mdvsys mass-update.

The default verbosity level for each action correspond to minimal feedback output, and mask underlying details. Cumulative verbose flags can be used to raise verbosity level.

Configuration relies on repsys configuration files:

•

the system configuration file is given through the --config flag, and defaults to /etc/repsys.conf

•

the personal configuration file is given through the REPSYS_CONF environment variable, and defaults to ~/.repsys/repsys.conf

The system configuration is read first, and the personal configuration file thereafter, overriding previous settings.

More details about each individual actions follow.

CHANGES

The 2.0 branches introduces many changes, renaming some actions for consistency, and changing behaviour of others for sake of isolation. Here is a list of changes:

•

action getsrpm has been renamed to extract

•

action extract doesn't prefix generated package by default, you have to use --prefix option

•

action commit doesn't check for unsync content now, it just commit changes

Verbosity has also been altered in order to be able to use actions with large scope, such as mass-update without getting drowned under individual package build details. The default verbosity is minimal feedback for each action, and can be gradually increased using cumulative --verbose flags.
