**Debrepo** is a lightweight tool for creating and managing Debian repositories for `*.deb` packages. It was built with simplicity in mind as an alternative to heavier tools like `reprepro` or `aptly`.
|
|
|
|
The main motivation behind **debrepo** was to support **multiple versions** of the same package in a single repository, something standard `reprepro` configurations often struggle with, using standard Debian tools.
|
|
|
|
#### **Key Features:**
|
|
* **Minimal Dependencies:** `bash`, `dpkg-dev`, `gpg`, `python3`.
|
|
* **Multi-version Support:** Keeps history of package versions automatically.
|
|
* **GPG Signing:** Automatically signs releases using your GPG key.
|
|
* **Built-in Server:** Includes a Python HTTP server for instant testing (`debrepo serve`).
|
|
|
|
#### **Quick Usage**
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# 1. Install (Clone & Symlink)
|
|
git clone [https://github.com/filiprojek/debrepo.git](https://github.com/filiprojek/debrepo.git)
|
|
sudo ln -s $(pwd)/debrepo/debrepo.sh /usr/bin/debrepo
|
|
|
|
# 2. Initialize repository
|
|
mkdir my-repo && cd my-repo
|
|
debrepo init --repodir .
|
|
|
|
# 3. Configure (Set your GPG key and Origin)
|
|
# Create the configuration file: apt-repo/config
|
|
|
|
# 4. Add a package
|
|
debrepo add ./build/foo_1.0_amd64.deb --repodir ./path/to/repo
|
|
|
|
# 5. Serve locally (for testing)
|
|
debrepo serve --repodir ./path/to/repo
|
|
|
|
```
