Summary
Read this file to get some basic information about the debian archiver.
Introduction:
-------------
The debian archiver is a tool that installs debian packages into a file
structure suitable for apt-get, dselect and similar tools to use for updating
the installed debian system. It is ment to be used bu local administrators that
needs special packages, or tweaked versions to ease administration.
The file structure is based on the potato file structure and does not support
package pools. This may be implemented later, but is not high priority.
Function:
---------
The basic functionality of this package is simple. It takes packages
from the incoming directory (default /var/lib/debarchiver/incoming), looks
at the *.changes files, sorts the packages into the right place in
the destination (default /var/lib/debarchiver/dists).
It also sort packages (and does not look at the .changes file) in directories with
the same name as the distr version, see %distinputdirs. So it will sort
packages in /var/lib/debarchiver/incoming/stable to the stable version.
Cronjob:
--------
Debarchiver is very easy to run from a cronjob. In fact you only have to copy
the example cronfile to /etc/cron.d. You may edit it if you have some special
setup like multiple archives, see below.
Multiple archives:
------------------
It is possible to hand multiple archives at the same time. Set the common
settings in /etc/debarchiver.conf and then create a input.conf file in
the incoming directory of each incoming directory. If you use different
users for sorting the archives you can use the ~/.debarchiver.conf file
of that user instead.
Now edit /etc/cron.d/debarchiver and change it to something like this:
0 * * * * debarchiver test -x /usr/bin/debarchiver && /usr/bin/debarchiver --autoscan --addoverride --input /var/lib/debarchiver/incoming
0 * * * * debarchiver test -x /usr/bin/debarchiver && /usr/bin/debarchiver --autoscan --addoverride --input /home/debarchive-internal/incoming
or like this if you have separate users.
0 * * * * debarchiver test -x /usr/bin/debarchiver && /usr/bin/debarchiver --autoscan --addoverride
0 * * * * debarchiver2 test -x /usr/bin/debarchiver && /usr/bin/debarchiver --autoscan --addoverride
non-US:
-------
Packages uploaded to non-US will have only a non-US section. This is not
a problem because it will create a non-US section in main. If the section
is non-free/non-US the same will be done, except that the non-US section
is in non-free instead. So there is no special non-US major section, just
a minor one.
