Freight configuration

Description

The Freight configuration is a sourced shell script that defines a few important variables.

Options

VARLIB: The Freight library directory. Typically /var/lib/freight.
VARCACHE: The Freight cache directory. Typically /var/cache/freight. This should be the document root of the web server.
ARCHS: The architectures to support. Typically i386 amd64.
ORIGIN: The Origin field in the Debian archive.
LABEL: The Label field in the Debian archive.
NOT_AUTOMATIC: The NotAutomatic field in the Debian archive.
BUT_AUTOMATIC_UGPRADES: The ButAutomaticUpgrades field in the Debian archive.
CACHE: on to cache package control files or off to read them from the packages on each freight-cache(1) run.
GPG: The GPG key(s) to use. This value must be set either in a configuration file or by using the -g option to freight-cache(1). Multiple keys can be given to sign the repository with more signatures.
GPG_PASSPHRASE_FILE: Pathname of a file containing the GPGP private key´s passphrase. This sets the --passphrase-fd and --passphrase-file options to gpg(1). The passphrase file can be set either in a configuration file or by using the -p option to freight-cache(1).
GPG_DIGEST_ALGO: Message digest algorithm that GPG should use to sign the repository. Apt is phasing out SHA1 so it is recommended to use SHA512 for most use-cases. This sets the --personal-digest-preferences option to gpg(1). The digest algorithm can be set either in a configuration file or by using the -a option to freight-cache(1).
SYMLINKS: on to follow symbolic links in VARLIB to produce extra components in the cache directory or off to offer no special treatment.

Files

/etc/freight.conf: The default configuration file.
~/.freight.conf: User-specific configuration file.
etc/freight.conf, .freight.conf: Directory-specific configuration files.
