variable | explanation | cla |
---|---|---|
id | The unique name of this distribution. This name will be used to select the distribution on the command line, so make it an easy one to remember. | yes |
patch-rpm-component | This is the same option as the patch-rpm-patch option in the <opt> element. The main difference is that the patch-rpm-component option here operates at distribution level. It overwrites the global value that is specified by the patch-rpm-patch argument in the <opt> element. If the patch-rpm-patch argument is not defined here at distribution level the value specified in the <opt> element is used. | no |
process | With this attribute processing of an archive (which is actually a combination of distribution, version and architecture) can be activated or de-activated without the need to remove the configuration data from the configuration file. This may be usefull for archives that e.g. have no update activaty or in case the vendor discontinued the distribution. When processing is de-activated (process="no") the actual apt archive remains to exist, but it will not be updated. If a update is needed the command line argument --dist-id <distribution id> can be used to update the apt repository manually. | yes |
security-component | This is the same option as the security-component option in the <opt> element. The main difference is that the security-component option here operates at distribution level. It overwrites the global value that is specified by the security-component argument in the <opt> element. If the security-component argument is not defined here at distribution level the value specified in the <opt> element is used. | no |
structure | With this element the structure of the apt archive can be set. The following structure types are available:
