RREDTOOL(1) REPREPRO RREDTOOL(1)NAMErredtool - merge or apply a very restricted subset of ed patchesSYNOPSISrredtool --help rredtool [ options ] --merge patches... rredtool [ options ] --patch file-to-patch patches... rredtool directory newfile oldfile modeDESCRIPTIONrredtool is a tool to handle a subset of ed patches in a safe way. It is especially targeted at ed patches as used in Packages.diff and Sources.diff. Is also has a mode supposed to be called from reprepro as Index Hook to generate and update a Packages.diff/Index file.MODIOne of the following has to be given, so that rredtool know that to do. --version Print the version of this tool (or rather the version of reprepro which it is coming with). --help Print a short overview of the modi. --patch The first argument of rredtool is the file to patch, the other arguments are ed patches to apply on this one. --merge The arguments are treated as ed patches, which are merged into a single one. --reprepro-hook (or no other mode flag) Act as reprepro index hook to manage a Packages.diff/index file. That means it expects to get exactly 4 arguments and writes the names of files to place into filedescriptor 3. If neither --patch nor --merge is given, this mode is used, so you can just put DebIndices: Packages Release . .gz /usr/bin/rredtool into reprepro's conf/distributions file to have a Packages.diff directory generated. (Note that you have to generate an uncom- pressed file (the single dot). You will need to have patch, gzip and gunzip available in your path.)OPTIONS--debug Print intermediate results or other details that might be interesting when trying to track down bugs in rredtool but not intresting otherwise. --max-patch-count=count When generating a Packages.diff/Index file, put at most count patches in it (not counting possible apt workaround patches). -o|--output Not yet implemented.ENVIRONMENTTMPDIR, TEMPDIR temporary files are created in $TEMPDIR if set, otherwise in $TMPDIR if set, otherwise in /tmp/.REPORTING BUGSReport bugs or wishlist requests the Debian BTS (e.g. by using reportbug reperepro) or directly to <brlink@debian.org>.COPYRIGHTCopyright (C) 2009 Bernhard R.
