NAME

6       freight-add - add a package to Freight
7

SYNOPSIS

9       freight add [-c conf] [-v] [-h] package manager/distro[/component][...]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       freight-add  registers  package with one or more manager/distro[/compo‐
13       nent] pairs (or triples). Currently, apt is the only supported  manager
14       and  package must be one of *.deb, *.dsc *.debian.tar.gz *.orig.tar.gz,
15       *.dsc *.diff.gz *.orig.tar.gz, or *.dsc *.tar.gz.  distro  may  be  any
16       arbitrary  value  but  is best suited to naming a particular version of
17       the target operating system (for example, "wheezy" or "precise").  com‐
18       ponent is optional and for apt defaults to main.
19
20       The   package   files   are   organized   in  the  Freight  library  so
21       freight-cache(1) has an easy time of creating package repositories  for
22       each manager/distro[/component] later.
