.SH "NAME"
xbps-repo \- XBPS command for binary package repositories
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
\fBxbps\-repo\fR [\fIoptions\fR] \fItarget\fR [\fIarguments\fR]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
The xbps\-repo(8) command is used to handle local or remote binary package repositories in the \fBXBPS binary package system\fR\&. You can use it to create a package index for a local repository, add or remove local and remote repositories, search for packages and show information about a binary package in repository pool\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
\fB\-c\fR \fIcachedir\fR
.RS 4
Sets the
\fIcache\fR
directory to store downloaded binary packages from remote repositories\&. By default it\(cqs set to
\fI/var/cache/xbps\fR
and it\(cqs always relative to the
\fIroot\fR
directory\&. So if you use a
\fIrootdir\fR
of
\fI/blah\fR, it will become
\fI/blah/cachedir\fR\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-r\fR \fIrootdir\fR
.RS 4
Sets the
\fIroot\fR
directory\&. By default the root directory is set to
\fI/\fR\&. Please note that the database directory is always set to
\fI/var/db/xbps\fR
independently of
\fIrootdir\fR\&. So if you use a
\fIrootdir\fR
of
\fI/blah\fR, metadata stuff will go into
\fI/blah/var/db/xbps\fR\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-V\fR
.RS 4
Shows the current XBPS release version (library and code)\&.
.RE
.SH "TARGETS"
.sp
Please note that all targets are \fBcase insensitive\fR\&.
.PP
\fBadd\fR \fIURI\fR
.RS 4
Adds a repository as specified in
\fIURI\fR
to the repository pool\&. Local (by specifying a
\fBdirectory\fR) and remote (by specifiying an
\fBHTTP/HTTPS/FTP URL\fR) repositories can be specified\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBgenindex\fR \fI/path/to/local/repo\fR
.RS 4
Generates a package index for a local repository as specified in its argument\&. It will look for archives with
\fB\&.xbps\fR
extension and will only add it into the index if version is newer than the one available in the index\&. If a newer package is available, the for old package file will be removed automatically\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBlist\fR
.RS 4
Lists all currently registered repositories in repository pool\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBremove\fR \fIURI\fR
.RS 4
Removes a repository from repository pool as specified by the
\fIURI\fR
argument\&. You have to use the same
\fIURI\fR
that was used in the
\fBadd\fR
target\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBsearch\fR \fIpattern\fR
.RS 4
Search for packages containing the shell
\fIpattern\fR
(see fnmatch(3)) in its
\fBpkgname\fR
or
\fBdescription\fR
values in repository pool\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBshow \fR\fB\fIpkgname\fR\fR
.RS 4
Shows information about binary package
\fIpkgname\fR\&. This will print the size it takes in filesystem, description, maintainer, architecture and other information\&. The first repository in the pool wins\&.
\fBNOTE: if a remote repository is the winner and binary package is not available in cachedir, it will fetch remotely and \fR\fB\fIon\-the\-fly\fR\fR\fB the info\fR\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBshow\-deps \fR\fB\fIpkgname\fR\fR
.RS 4
Shows run time dependencies for binary package
\fIpkgname\fR\&. The first repository in the pool wins\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBshow\-files \fR\fB\fIpkgname\fR\fR
.RS 4
Shows the file list for a binary package
\fIpkgname\fR
by searching it in repository pool\&. The first repository in the pool wins\&.
\fBNOTE: if a remote repository is the winner and binary package is not available in \fR\fBcachedir\fR\fB, it will fetch remotely and \fR\fB\fIon\-the\-fly\fR\fR\fB the info\fR\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBsync\fR
.RS 4
Syncs the package index file for all registered remote repositories\&. The new file will be fetched if local and remote size/mtime do not match\&.
.RE
.SH "FILES"
.PP
\fB/var/db/xbps/repositories\&.plist\fR
.RS 4
Registered repository list\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB/var/db/xbps/<remoterepodir>/pkg\-index\&.plist\fR
.RS 4
Remote repository package index file\&.
.RE
.PP

.RE
.SH "BUGS"
.sp
Probably, but I try to make this not happen\&. Use it under your own responsability and enjoy your life\&.
