httpup-repgen(8)

NAME

httpup-repgen - generate an repository for httpup

SYNOPSIS
httpup-repgen [target]

DESCRIPTION
httpup-repgen creates a repository for httpup. It reads the ~/.httpup-repgen-ignore and ./.httpup-repgen-ignore ignore certain patterns of files. This file will be used in a 'grep -v -f' command. Check the man page of grep(1) if you're uncertain how to use it.

httpup-repgen again requires the md5sum utility in order to generate a repository index. The more, a web server is needed to publish the collection. Possible problems can arise when publishing files which are executable: some webservers will refuse to serve them.

COMMANDS

$ echo '\\.tar\\.gz$' > ~/.httpup-repgen-ignore

$ httpup-repgen /home/www/ports/tks6
