bpkg-rep-create - Man Page

bpkg rep-create [options] [dir]

The rep-create command regenerates the packages.manifest file based on the files present in the repository directory. If the repositories.manifest file contains a certificate, then the signature.manifest file is regenerated as well. In this case the --key option must be used to specify the certificate's private key. If dir is not specified, then the current working directory is used as the repository root.

--ignore-unknown

Ignore unknown manifest entries. Note that this option also ignores the version constraints in the special toolchain build-time dependencies.

--min-bpkg-version ver

Apply backward compatibility workarounds to the generated packages.manifest file so that it can be consumed by bpkg versions greater or equal to the specified version. If unspecified, then the min-bpkg-version value from the repositories.manifest file is used, if present. If the manifest value is not specified either, then no backward compatibility workarounds are applied.

--key name

Private key to use to sign the repository. In most cases name will be a path to the key file but it can also be a key id when a custom openssl cryptographic engine is used.
