6 freight - Freight configuration
7
9 The Freight configuration is a sourced shell script that defines a few
10 important variables.
11
13 VARLIB The Freight library directory. Typically /var/lib/freight.
14
15 VARCACHE
16 The Freight cache directory. Typically /var/cache/freight. This
17 should be the document root of the web server.
18
19 ARCHS The architectures to support. Typically i386 amd64.
20
21 ORIGIN The Origin field in the Debian archive.
22
23 LABEL The Label field in the Debian archive.
24
25 CACHE on to cache package control files or off to read them from the
26 packages on each freight-cache(1) run.
27
28 GPG The GPG key(s) to use. This value must be set either in a con‐
29 figuration file or by using the -g option to freight-cache(1).
30 Multiple keys can be given to sign the repository with more sig‐
31 natures.
32
33 GPG_PASSPHRASE_FILE
34 Pathname of a file containing the GPGP private key´s passphrase.
35 This sets the --passphrase-fd and --passphrase-file options to
36 gpg(1). The passphrase file can be set either in a configuration
37 file or by using the -p option to freight-cache(1).
38
39 GPG_DIGEST_ALGO
40 Message digest algorithm that GPG should use to sign the reposi‐
41 tory. Apt is phasing out SHA1 so it is recommended to use SHA512
42 for most use-cases. This sets the --personal-digest-preferences
43 option to gpg(1). The digest algorithm can be set either in a
44 configuration file or by using the -a option to
45 freight-cache(1).
46
47 SYMLINKS
48 on to follow symbolic links in VARLIB to produce extra compo‐
49 nents in the cache directory or off to offer no special treat‐
50 ment.
51
53 /etc/freight.conf
54 The default configuration file.
55
56 ~/.freight.conf
57 User-specific configuration file.
58
59 etc/freight.conf, .freight.conf
60 Directory-specific configuration files.
61
63 FREIGHT_CONF
64 The pathname of an alternate configuration file.

71
73 freight-add(1) adds packages to the intermediate "Freight library" that
74 is used by freight-cache(1) to build the actual repositories.
75
76 reprepro(1) manages Debian archives, too, if Freight isn´t your thing.
