NAME

tix-repository — manage a tix repository

SYNOPSIS

tix-repository [--generation=level] metadata repository

DESCRIPTION

tix-repository prepares a tix repository for publication with the appropriate release metadata.
A top-level release directory contains the sha256sum file, along with the repository directory with per-platform repository subdirectories named after the platform triplets.
A tix release is prepared for publication by creating the directory structure, populating the per-platform repository/$platform subdirectories with the .tix.tar.xz and .version files produced by tix-port(8), and running the tix-repository metadata command on each platform repository.
The first operand selects a command to execute:
metadata
Generate metadata files in the per-platform repository subdirectory:
  • dependencies.list
  • manifest.list
  • packages.list
  • renames.list
  • sets.list
  • sha256sum
The options are as follows:
--generation=generation
Select tix metadata generation level (Default: 3)

EXIT STATUS

tix-repository will exit 0 on success and non-zero otherwise.
