michael@13: B<openpkg release> - OpenPKG Release Utility
michael@13: 
michael@13: =head1 SYNOPSIS
michael@13: 
michael@13: B<openpkg release> [B<-F>|B<--fmt> I<format>]
michael@13: 
michael@13: =head1 DESCRIPTION
michael@13: 
michael@13: The B<openpkg release> command displays the OpenPKG release tag and
michael@13: distribution URL. The release tag uniquely identifies an OpenPKG
michael@13: distribution and the distribution URL is the location where the
michael@13: distribution packages and indices are stored.
michael@13: 
michael@13: =head1 OPTIONS
michael@13: 
michael@13: =over 4
michael@13: 
michael@13: =item B<-F>, B<--fmt> I<format>
michael@13: 
michael@13: The output format specification. The argument I<format> is an arbitrary
michael@13: string which can contain the special expansion constructs "C<%t>" for
michael@13: expanding the release tag, "C<%u>" for expanding the distribution URL
michael@428: and "C<\n>" for expanding an embedded newline character.
michael@13: The instance UUID information is also availble by expanding
michael@13: C<%r> to UUID_REGISTRY, C<%i> to UUID_INSTANCE, C<%p> to UUID_PLATFORM.
michael@13: The default I<format> is "C<OpenPKG-%t %u>".
michael@13: 
michael@13: =item B<-r>, B<--release> I<release>
michael@13: 
michael@13: The package "C<Release>" header value to use for deriving the release
michael@13: tag. The values in the F<@l_prefix@/etc/openpkg/release> file and the
michael@13: "C<Release>" header of the bootstrap package B<openpkg> are ignored if
michael@13: this option is used.

michael@13: 
michael@13: =item F<@l_prefix@/etc/openpkg/release>
michael@13: 
michael@13: This optional configuration file can be used to explicitly set values
michael@13: for the OpenPKG release tag and distribution URLs. It consists of lines
michael@13: with variable name/value pairs. The following configuration variables
michael@13: are recognized:
michael@13: 
michael@13: =over 4
michael@13: 
michael@13: =item B<TAG=>I<tag>
michael@13: 
michael@13: The default I<tag> is automatically derived from the "C<Version>" header
michael@13: of the OpenPKG bootstrap package B<openpkg>. One usually only sets this
michael@13: explicitly to a value if a bootstrap package is used from a foreign
michael@13: distribution version.
michael@13: 
michael@13: =item B<URL=>I<url>
michael@13: 
michael@13: The fully-qualified distribution URL based on either the "C<ftp>",
michael@13: "C<http>" or "C<file>" URL schemes. If I<url> contains a trailing
michael@13: "C</*>", this is expanded according to the I<tag> value of the B<TAG>
michael@428: variable and the corresponding filesystem layout on C<download.openpkg.org>.
michael@428: The default I<url> is "C<http://download.openpkg.org/stacks/*>".
