Manifest Utils for Binman

• manifest-verify FILE verifies the signature of the manifest file FILE.
• manifest-build DIR [--name NAME] [--key KEYFILE] [--serial SERIAL] [--description DESCRIPTION] [--remote URI] [--post-exec POSTEXEC] [--output OUTDIR] [--source-finder SOURCEXEC] [--license-finder LICENSEEXEC] [--path-scheme SCHEME] builds a manifest based on the structure in DIR.
  • --name specifies the name of the manifest, defaults to the base name of DIR.
  • --key specifies a key file to sign the manifest with, otherwise one will be created.
  • --serial specifies a serial number for this manifest, defaults to 0.
  • --description specifies a description for this manifest, defaults to the name of the manifest.
  • --remote specifies a remote mirror for this manifest (may be specified more than once).
  • --post-exec specifies the post-exec program to be run after the manifest is applied.
  • --prefix specifies a prefix to be prepended to all paths in the resulting manifest, defaults to root "/".
  • --remote-bin-prefix specifies a prefix for all remote binary files, defaults to "binaries".
  • --remote-ccs-prefix specifies a prefix for all remote source packages, defaults to "sources".
  • --output specifies a directory to save the manifest, key file, and folder structure to. When this is not specified, the build is considered "in-place" and the application will create a manifest (and key file where applicable) in the current working directory, no copies of the binary files will be made.
  • --source-finder specifies a program to run on each entry in the filesystem to determine the path to the source package for that file.
  • --license-finder specifies a program to run on each entry in the filesystem to determine the path to the license for that file.
  • --path-scheme specifies the scheme for remote paths to use:
  • analogue creates an output structure that mimics the structure of the input directory. This is the default and only valid option when --output is not specified.
  • content-hash creates a flat output structure where each file is named by the SHA512 hash of its contents.
  • path-hash creates a flat output structure where each file is named by the SHA256 hash of its path name.
• manifest-sign FILE KEYFILE re-signs a manifest using the keys stored in KEYFILE.
