Pyaptly

Automates the creation and managment of aptly mirrors and snapshots based on toml input files.

Important: Currently under heavy development:

For for the old version switch to the master branch
Main branch builds contain alpha packages, see Artifacts

Example commands

Initialize a new aptly server.

pyaptly mirror mirrors.toml create
pyaptly mirror mirrors.toml update
pyaptly snapshot mirrors.toml create
pyaptly publish mirrors.toml create

Update mirrors and snapshots and switch publish endpoints with automatic-update: true to the new snapshots.

pyaptly mirror mirrors.toml update
pyaptly snapshot mirrors.toml create
pyaptly publish mirrors.toml create
pyaptly publish mirrors.toml update

Manually trigger a switch to the new snapshots for the publish endpoint ubuntu/stable.

pyaptly publish mirrors.toml update -n ubuntu/stable

Debugging

The most interesting mode for users is not --debug but --info which shows all commands executed.
