bpkg-rep-info(1)

NAME
bpkg-rep-info - print repository information

SYNOPSIS

bpkg rep-info [options] rep-loc

DESCRIPTION

The rep-info command prints various information about the specified repository. By default it print the repository's name and location as the first line. If the repository is signed, the certificate information (name/organization/email) is printed as the next line followed by the certificate fingerprint. Then comes the list of complement and prerequisite repositories followed by the list of available packages.

This default format can be altered in various ways using options listed below. Note also that the information is written to stdout, not stderr.

If the current working directory contains a bpkg configuration, then rep-info will use its certificate database for the repository authentication. That is, it will trust the repository's certificate if it is already trusted by the configuration. Otherwise it will add the certificate to the configuration if you confirm it is trusted. You can specify an alternative configuration directory with the --directory|-d option. To disable using the configuration in the current working directory pass this option with an empty path.

REP-INFO OPTIONS

--name|-n
    Print the repository's name and location.

--cert-fingerprint
    Print the repository's certificate fingerprint or empty line if the repository is unsigned.

--cert-name
    Print the repository's certificate common name (CN) or empty line if the repository is unsigned.

--cert-organization
    Print the repository's certificate organization name (O) or empty line if the repository is unsigned.

--cert-email
    Print the repository's certificate email or empty line if the repository is unsigned.

--repositories|-r
    Print the list of complement and prerequisite repositories.

--packages|-p
    Print the list of available packages.

--manifest
    Instead of printing the information in the human-readable form, dump it (to stdout) as manifest(s). Normally you would use this option in combination with --packages|-p or --repositories|-r to only dump one of the manifests. If the --deep option is specified, then in the resulting packages manifest the *-file values are replaced with the contents of the referenced files and the *-build values are automatically added (unless the corresponding files are absent). See also --ignore-unknown, --repositories-file, and --packages-file.

--ignore-unknown
    Ignore unknown manifest entries. Note that this option also ignores the version constraints in the special toolchain build-time dependencies. This option is implied if --manifest is not specified.

--deep
    Verify the presence of the required *-build values/files and the validity of files referenced by the *-file manifest values.

--repositories-file path
    If --manifest is specified, then save the repositories manifest to the specified file instead of dumping it to stdout.

--packages-file path
    If --manifest is specified, then save the packages manifest to the specified file instead of dumping it to stdout.

--type type
    Specify the repository type with valid values being pkg, dir, and git. Refer to bpkg-rep-add(1) for details.

--directory|-d dir
    Use configuration in dir for the trusted certificate database.

DEFAULT OPTIONS FILES

See bpkg-default-options-files(1) for an overview of the default options files. If the rep-info command uses an existing bpkg configuration, then the start directory is the configuration directory. Otherwise, only the predefined directories (home, system, etc) are searched. The following options files are searched for in each directory and, if found, loaded in the order listed:

bpkg.options
bpkg-rep-info.options

The following rep-info command options cannot be specified in the default options files:

--directory|-d
