SYNOPSIS

botch-clean-repository [options] Packages Sources

DESCRIPTION

given a repository of binary packages and source packages, clean up that repository by removing packages that can't be compiled or installed and packages which don't have an associated binary or source package and packages which do not match the specified architecture.

This effectively creates a self contained repository of maximal size.

OPTIONS

--version

show program's version and exit

-h, --help

show this help message and exit

-v, --verbose

print additional information

--quiet

do no print any messages

--reqsrcarchall

require source packages for arch:all binary packages

--addsrcarchall

add source packages which only build arch:all binary packages

--drop-b-d-indep

Drop Build-Depends-Indep dependencies

--allowsrcmismatch

If a binary package is without a source package but there is a source package of same name but different version, match this binary package to that source package.

-o, --outfile=FILE

Set the output file FILE

--deb-native-arch=ARCH

Native architecture ARCH

--deb-host-arch=arch

Host architecture arch. Defaults to native architecture.

--deb-foreign-archs=archs

Comma-separated foreign architectures in addition to native and host architectures.

--deb-ignore-essential

By default, installing any binary package requires the coinstallation set of all binary packages marked as Essential:yes to be installed as well. This option drops this requirement.

EXAMPLE

Clean up a repository:

 botch-clean-repository --deb-native-arch=amd64 packages sources > packages-clean
 botch-bin2src --deb-native-arch=amd64 packages-clean sources > sources-clean
