Entropy Server now supports repositories defined inside
/etc/entropy/repositories.conf.d/ files, written using the
syntax detailed below. This improves the ability to enable, disable,
add and remove repositories programmatically. Furthermore, it
makes possible to extend the supported parameters without breaking
backward compatibility.
In order to differentiate Entropy Client repository definitions between
Entropy Server ones, each repository section must start with "[server=".
This is an example of the syntax (with a complete listing
of the supported arguments):
[server=sabayon-limbo]
desc = Sabayon Linux Official Testing Repository
repo = ssh://username@full.host:~username/sabayon-limbo
enabled = <true/false>
[server=sabayon-limbo]
desc = This statement will be ignored.
repo-only = ssh://username@repo.host:~username/sabayon-limbo
pkg-only = ssh://username@pkg.host:~username/sabayon-limbo
[server=sabayon-base]
desc = This is the base repository.
repo-only = ssh://username@repo.host:~username/sabayon-base
pkg-only = ssh://username@pkg.host:~username/sabayon-base
base = <true/false>
As you can see, multiple statements for the same repository
are allowed. However, only the first desc = statement will be
considered, while there can be as many {pkg,repo}* = as you want.
The repository order is important, but this is guaranteed by the
fact that configuration files are parsed in lexical order.
Statements description:
- "desc": stands for description, the repository name description.
- "repo": the push & pull URI, for both packages and repository database.
- "repo-only": same as repo, but only for the repository database
push & pull.
- "pkg-only": same as repo, but only for the packages push & pull.
The supported protocols are those supported by entropy.fetchers.
- "enabled": if set, its value can be either "true" or "false". The default
value is "true". It indicates if a repository is configured
but currently disabled or enabled. Please take into account
that config files in /etc/entropy/repositories.conf.d/ starting
with "_" are considered to contain disabled repositories. This
is just provided for convienence.
- "base": if set, its value can be either "true" or "false". The default
value is "false". If no repository has the flag set, the first
listed repository will be the base one. Only the first repository
with "base = true" will be considered. The base repository is the
repository that is considered base for all the others
(the main one).
Weak package files is a feature that makes possible to save a lot of
local space if enabled. Basically, all the package files no longer in
the repository are locally removed before their expiration. This reduces
local data redundancy with no real reliability impact.
ChangeLog file is now automatically generated basing on new packages
being added to repository. It can be disabled via server.conf's
"changelog = false" directive.
This file is supposed to grow to infinity and no size control is
going to be implemented.
This commit removes the quirk used mainly server-side to make
tidy working on branches sharing package files.
Since tidy function now uses a more intelligent technique, this
is not needed anymore.
If enabled in server.conf, entropy server side interface can now
allow multiple packages in the same scope without forcefully being
'injected'.
Through packages.db.fatscope in database dir, you can choose what
packages are eligible to this status, you can use '*' wildcard to
enable the feature for all the packages.
Be warned, this feature is EXPERIMENTAL (read server.conf) and not
enabled by default.
This improvement allows to disable certain EAPIs from being handled
on download/upload, thus on remote repository database sync. This
was warmly awaited from repository maintainers with limited internet
bandwidth.
- update TODO
Entropy/Server:
- merge server config files into one (server.conf), reduce complexity
Entropy/Transceivers:
- FtpInterface add ETA and current up/down speed information
