NAME

rdfgen - Resource Description Framework GENerator for SWUP  

SYNOPSIS

rdfgen
[-q | --quiet] [-b ] [-C ] [-S ] [-o <dir>] [-L <URI>] [-k <keyid>] [-P <filename>] [-g <homedir>] [files/directories [...]]

 

DESCRIPTION

rdfgen - generate database files in rdf/xml format to work with the txpi or swup software upgrading tool.  

OPTIONS

-C
Do not compress files.
-L
Link against remote repository given by <URI>. URI must end with a trailing "/" and determins where to find resources.rdf ( or resourcelist.rdf ) and filelist. http:// https:// and ftp:// are supported protocols.
-P <filename>
Read the gpg key password from given <filename>
-S
Sign rdfs. Signing is needed for swup to work, however, time is saved when skipping this, and signatures can be generated manually using gnupg or equivalent tool, when a valid repository has been generated.
-b
Backward compatible mode. Generates a repository that is supported by both new and old versions of swup. Generates a lot of small files which are signed, so it takes quite some time to execute.
-g <homedir>
Use a specified gpg homedir instead of the default $HOME/.gnupg, given as a <directory>. Needed when run in a cron job.
-h | --help
Print brief usage information.
-k <keyid>
Sign all rpms and all created files with given <keyid>, needed when signing files.
-o <dir>
Relative path to directory to which database files should be written. Default is "./rdfs". Path should be as short as possible, and thus contained within the active root of the service providing the protocol of choice, like http or ftp.
-q, --quiet
Print as little as possible.
-s <dir>
Place the signatures for the rpms in this directory. Must be relative in the same was as with Useful when creating rdf repository for a remote repository of rpms.
-v, --version
Print version and copyright information.
