***************

SlapOS Package is a simple tool which aims on keep a packages updates on a Linux Distribution. The SlapOS Package can support multi distributions and use a simple signature file for take decision to upgrade or not the computer.

Basic Commands
===============

# slappkg-update: Perform the update, if requested.

# slappkg-discover: Prints the system signature, used to match with signature-list to decide which section to use.

# slappkg-upload-key: Uploads the signature configuration .

Basic Usage
============

# slappkg-update --slapos-configuration update.cfg

Upgrade Signature File
=======================

The signature file is composed by at least 2 sections:

System Section ([system]) where is defines reboot and upgrade expected dates. If
server was upgraded before the dates present there, the upgrade will be trigger
for packages (This only affects core promise).

Example:
::
[system]
reboot = 2011-10-10
upgrade = 2014-02-20

Distribution sections can have any other name choses by the user and it should
contains the follow entries (always use new line for multiple values):

* repository-list: define a list of repository entries, defined by (name = value).
Special minor notations explaned futher.
* filter-package-list: list of package names that are going to be keep installed and
updated.

* filter-promise-list: list of promises that are enabled for this distribution. The user
can decide which promises are going to be checked on every run. If this
section is not present, all promises available are going to be checked.

* signature-list: defines which systems the promises are applicable on. The signature for
every system can be found by slappkg-discover command. If None signature
matches, the system will not be upgraded.

Example:
::
[debian-default]
repository-list =
main = http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main
main-src = http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main
update = http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main

Configuration Examples
========================

* Example of update.cfg:

::
[slapupdate]
# Change this key for customise your upgrade.
upgrade_key = 'slapos-generic-upgrade-key'

download-binary-cache-url = http://www.shacache.org/shacache
download-cache-url = https://www.shacache.org/shacache
download-binary-dir-url = http://www.shacache.org/shadir

# It is important to use only trustfull keys.
