RightPublish

DESCRIPTION

Synopsis

RightPublish facilitates the management of remote package repositories. It is in essense a wrapper around package repository management tools such as YUM and RubyGems allowing one to add/remove/replace packages stored in a repository residing in a remote storage location, typically Amazon’s S3. The current incantation of RightPublish can manage RubyGem, YUM (RPM) and APT (DEB) pacakge repositories.

Interface

RightPublish is used as a command line tool and controlled via command line options and a YAML configuration file known as a RightPublish profile. It expects createrepo to be installed on yum based distros and reprepro to be installed on debian distros. It expects the “expect” package to be installed on all distros.

no gpg_password config key is supplied but a gpg_key_id is it should  prompt you
for a password.

  pull
  publish
  push
global options:
    --profile, -p <s>:   Publish profile
  --repo-type, -r <s>:   Repository type: ["apt", "gem", "msi", "yum", "zypp"]
           --dist, -d:   Target dist: ["el/6", "precise"]
        --verbose, -v:   Verbose output
        --version, -e:   Print version and exit
           --help, -h:   Show this message
