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,  *.ddeb,  *.dsc *.debian.tar.gz
15       *.orig.tar.gz, *.dsc *.diff.gz *.orig.tar.gz, or *.dsc *.tar.gz. distro
16       may  be  any  arbitrary value but is best suited to naming a particular
17       version of the target operating system (for example, "wheezy" or  "pre‐
18       cise"). component 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.
