Each line of this file specifies the +location of a package repository, and optionally a tag. + +The location may be an _http://_, _https://_, or _ftp://_ URL, or the path to a +directory on the local filesystem. A tagged repository is prefixed with the +*@tag* specifier, followed by a space and the repository location. For more +information about repository tags, see *apk-world*(5). + +# REPOSITORY LAYOUT + +Each repository must store an index at *$repository/$arch/APKINDEX.tar.gz*. See +*apk-index*(8) for information about generating this file. The packages +themselves are stored at *$repository/$arch/$pkgname-$pkgver-r$pkgrel.apk*. + +*apk*(8) verifies that each of these files has a valid cryptographic signature +unless explicitly told not to via the *--allow-untrusted* flag. See +*abuild-keygen*(1) for information about generating keys, *apk-keys*(5) to add +keys to the list of trusted keys, *abuild-sign*(1) for information about using +these keys to sign files, and *apk-verify*(8) for information about verifying +those signatures. + +# UPDATING INDICIES + +*apk*(8) fetches and stores the index for each package repository at +/var/lib/cache. To fetch fresh indicies for all configured repositories, use +*apk-update*(8). + +# AUTHORS + +Natanael Copa ++ +Timo Teräs <_timo.teras@iki.fi_> -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
