RepoLib
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
RepoLib is a Python library and CLI tool-set for managing your software
|
|
system software repositories. It's currently set up to handle APT repositories
|
|
on Debian-based linux distributions.
|
|
|
|
RepoLib is intended to operate on DEB822-format sources. It aims to provide
|
|
feature parity with software-properties for most commonly used functions.
|
|
|
|
Documentation
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
Documentation is available online at `Read The Docs <https://repolib.rtfd.io/>`_.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Basic CLI Usage
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
RepoLib includes a CLI program for managing software repositories,
|
|
:code:`apt-manage`
|
|
.
|
|
|
|
Usage is divided into subcommands for most tasks. Currently implemented commands
|
|
are:
|
|
|
|
apt-manage add # Adds repositories to the system
|
|
apt-manage list # Lists configuration details of repositories
|
|
|
|
Additional information is available with the built-in help:
|
|
|
|
apt-manage --help
|
|
|
|
|
|
Add
|
|
^^^
|
|
|
|
Apt-manage allows entering a URL for a repository, a complete debian line, or a
|
|
Launchpad PPA shortcut (e.g. "ppa:user/repo"). It also adds signing keys for PPA
|
|
style repositories automatically.
|
|
|
|
|
|
List
|
|
^^^^
|
|
|
|
With no options, it outputs a list of the currently configured repositories on
|
|
the system (all those found in
|
|
:code:`/etc/apt/sources.list.d/`
|
|
. With a configured repository as an argument, it outputs the configuration
|
|
details of the specified repository.
|
|
|
|
Remove
|
|
^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Accepts one repository as an argument. Removes the specified repository.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: The system repository (/etc/at/sources.list.d/system.sources) cannot be
|
|
removed.
|
|
|
|
Source
|
|
^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Allows enabling or disabling source code for the given repository.
|
|
|
|
Modify
|
|
^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Allows changing configuration details of a given repository
