14
\fBapt-ftparchive\fR is the command line tool that generates the index
15
files that APT uses to access a distribution source. The index files should
16
be generated on the origin site based on the content of that site.
18
\fBapt-ftparchive\fR is a superset of the \fBdpkg-scanpackages\fR(8) program,
19
incorporating it's entire functionality via the directory command.
20
It also contains a contents file generator, contents, and an
21
elaborate means to 'script' the generation process for a complete
24
Internally \fBapt-ftparchive\fR can make use of binary databases to
25
cache the contents of a .deb file and it does not rely on any external
26
programs aside from \fBgzip\fR(1). When doing a full generate it automatically
27
performs file-change checks and builds the desired compressed output files.
29
Unless the \fB-h\fR, or \fB--help\fR option is given one of the
30
commands below must be present.
33
The packages command generates a package file from a directory tree. It
34
takes the given directory and recursively searches it for .deb files,
35
emitting a package record to stdout for each. This command is
36
approximately equivalent to \fBdpkg-scanpackages\fR(8).
38
The option \fB--db\fR can be used to specify a binary caching DB.
41
The sources command generates a source index file from a directory tree.
42
It takes the given directory and recursively searches it for .dsc files,
43
emitting a source record to stdout for each. This command is approximately
44
equivalent to \fBdpkg-scansources\fR(8).
46
If an override file is specified then a source override file will be
47
looked for with an extension of .src. The --source-override option can be
48
used to change the source override file that will be used.
51
The contents command generates a contents file from a directory tree. It
52
takes the given directory and recursively searches it for .deb files,
53
and reads the file list from each file. It then sorts and writes to stdout
54
the list of files matched to packages. Directories are not written to
55
the output. If multiple packages own the same file then each package is
56
separated by a comma in the output.
58
The option \fB--db\fR can be used to specify a binary caching DB.
61
The generate command is designed to be runnable from a cron script and
62
builds indexes according to the given config file. The config language
63
provides a flexible means of specifying which index files are built from
64
which directories, as well as providing a simple means of maintaining the
68
The clean command tidies the databases used by the given
69
configuration file by removing any records that are no longer necessary.

\fBapt\-ftparchive\fR is the command line tool that generates the index files that APT uses to access a distribution source\&. The index files should be generated on the origin site based on the content of that site\&.
37
\fBapt\-ftparchive\fR is a superset of the \fB\fBdpkg\-scanpackages\fR\fR(8) program, incorporating its entire functionality via the packages command\&. It also contains a contents file generator, contents, and an elaborate means to 'script' the generation process for a complete archive\&.
40
Internally \fBapt\-ftparchive\fR can make use of binary databases to cache the contents of a \&.deb file and it does not rely on any external programs aside from \fB\fBgzip\fR\fR(1)\&. When doing a full generate it automatically performs file\-change checks and builds the desired compressed output files\&.
43
Unless the \fB\-h\fR, or \fB\-\-help\fR option is given one of the commands below must be present\&.
47
The packages command generates a package file from a directory tree\&. It takes the given directory and recursively searches it for \&.deb files, emitting a package record to stdout for each\&. This command is approximately equivalent to \fB\fBdpkg\-scanpackages\fR\fR(8)\&.
49
The option \fB\-\-db\fR can be used to specify a binary caching DB\&.
53
The sources command generates a source index file from a directory tree\&. It takes the given directory and recursively searches it for \&.dsc files, emitting a source record to stdout for each\&. This command is approximately equivalent to \fB\fBdpkg\-scansources\fR\fR(8)\&.
55
If an override file is specified then a source override file will be looked for with an extension of \&.src\&. The \-\-source\-override option can be used to change the source override file that will be used\&.
59
The contents command generates a contents file from a directory tree\&. It takes the given directory and recursively searches it for \&.deb files, and reads the file list from each file\&. It then sorts and writes to stdout the list of files matched to packages\&. Directories are not written to the output\&. If multiple packages own the same file then each package is separated by a comma in the output\&.
61
The option \fB\-\-db\fR can be used to specify a binary caching DB\&.
65
The release command generates a Release file from a directory tree\&. It recursively searches the given directory for Packages, Packages\&.gz, Packages\&.bz2, Sources, Sources\&.gz, Sources\&.bz2, Release and md5sum\&.txt files\&. It then writes to stdout a Release file containing an MD5 digest and SHA1 digest for each file\&.
67
Values for the additional metadata fields in the Release file are taken from the corresponding variables under APT::FTPArchive::Release, e\&.g\&. APT::FTPArchive::Release::Origin\&. The supported fields are: Origin, Label, Suite, Version, Codename, Date, Architectures, Components, Description\&.
71
The generate command is designed to be runnable from a cron script and builds indexes according to the given config file\&. The config language provides a flexible means of specifying which index files are built from which directories, as well as providing a simple means of maintaining the required settings\&.
75
The clean command tidies the databases used by the given configuration file by removing any records that are no longer necessary\&.

.SH "THE GENERATE CONFIGURATION"
73
The generate command uses a configuration file to describe the
74
archives that are going to be generated. It follows the typical ISC
75
configuration format as seen in ISC tools like bind 8 and dhcpd.
76
\fB\fIapt.conf\fB\fR(5) contains a description of the syntax. Note that the generate
77
configuration is parsed in sectional manner, but \fB\fIapt.conf\fB\fR(5) is parsed in a
78
tree manner. This only effects how the scope tag is handled.
80
The generate configuration has 4 separate sections, each decribed below.
83
The Dir section defines the standard directories needed to
84
locate the files required during the generation process. These
85
directories are prepended to certain relative paths defined in later
86
sections to produce a complete an absolute path.
89
Specifies the root of the FTP archive, in a standard
90
Debian configuration this is the directory that contains the
91
\fIls-LR\fR, and dist nodes.
94
Specifies the location of the override files.

106
that control the operation of the generator. Other sections may override
107
these defaults with a per-section setting.
109
\fBPackages::Compress\fR
110
Sets the default compression schemes to use
111
for the Package index files. It is a string that contains a space
112
separated list of at least one of: '.' (no compression), 'gzip' and
113
\&'bzip2'. The default for all compression schemes is '. gzip'.
115
\fBPackages::Extensions\fR
116
Sets the default list of file extensions that are package files.
117
This defaults to '.deb'.
119
\fBSources::Compress\fR

129
except that it controls the compression for the Contents files.
132
Specifies the number of kilobytes to delink (and
133
replace with hard links) per run. This is used in conjunction with the
134
per-section External-Links setting.

138
defaults to 0644. All index files are set to this mode with no regard
141
.SS "TREEDEFAULT SECTION"
143
Sets defaults specific to Tree sections. All of these
144
variables are substitution variables and have the strings $(DIST),

$(SECTION) and $(ARCH) replaced with their respective values.
147
\fBMaxContentsChange\fR
148
Sets the number of kilobytes of contents
149
files that are generated each day. The contents files are round-robined
150
so that over several days they will all be rebuilt.
153
Controls the number of days a contents file is allowed
154
to be checked without changing. If this limit is passed the mtime of the
155
contents file is updated. This case can occur if the package file is
156
changed in such a way that does not result in a new contents file
157
[overried edit for instance]. A hold off is allowed in hopes that new
158
\&.debs will be installed, requiring a new file anyhow. The default is 10,
159
the units are in days.
162
Sets the top of the .deb directory tree. Defaults to
163
\fI$(DIST)/$(SECTION)/binary-$(ARCH)/\fR

176
\fI$(DIST)/$(SECTION)/\fR
179
Sets the output Contents file. Defaults to
180
\fI$(DIST)/Contents-$(ARCH)\fR. If this setting causes multiple
181
Packages files to map onto a single Contents file (such as the default)
182
then \fBapt-ftparchive\fR will integrate those package files
183
together automatically.
185
\fBContents::Header\fR

205
The Tree section defines a standard Debian file tree which
206
consists of a base directory, then multiple sections in that base
207
directory and finally multiple Architectures in each section. The exact
208
pathing used is defined by the Directory substitution variable.
210

225
Generate for DIST=scope SECTION=i ARCH=j
230
This is a space separated list of sections which appear
231
under the distribution, typically this is something like
232
main contrib non-free.
235
