.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The extrepo tool is used to manage external repositories in Debian.
Before extrepo, users who wished to use software not packaged for Debian
had to manually write the apt configuration files, run an unsigned
script as root, or install an unsigned .deb package that contained all
the configuration on their system. None of these methods were very
secure.
.PP
Extrepo remedies this by way of a metadata repository for external
package repositories. The user can search the list of metadata
repositories by way of \f(CW\*(C`extrepo search\*(C'\fR, and manage them through
\&\f(CW\*(C`extrepo enable\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`extrepo disable\*(C'\fR, or \f(CW\*(C`extrepo update\*(C'\fR.
.SH "SUBCOMMANDS"
.IX Header "SUBCOMMANDS"
.SS "search \fIkey\fP"
.IX Subsection "search key"
Searches for a repository where the given argument \fIkey\fR (a regular
expression) matches either the name of the repository, its description,
or the \s-1URL\s0 of the repository in question. The full \s-1YAML\s0 configuration of
all repositories that have a match are printed to standard output.
.PP
To search for all repositories, don't provide any search key.
.SS "enable \fIrepository_name\fP"
.IX Subsection "enable repository_name"
Enable the repository named \fIrepository_name\fR.
.PP
There are two cases for this command:
.IP "\(bu" 4
If the repository had not yet been created before, this creates its
configuration from the current metadata.
.IP "\(bu" 4
If the repository had been created before but disabled by way of the
\&\f(CW\*(C`extrepo disable\*(C'\fR command, re-enables it \fIwithout\fR updating the
metadata. If you want to update it, see the \f(CW\*(C`extrepo update\*(C'\fR command.
.SS "disable \fIrepository_name\fP"
.IX Subsection "disable repository_name"
This simply adds a line \*(L"Enabled: no\*(R" to the apt configuration file, so
that the repository is not enabled. It can be re-enabled by changing the
line to \*(L"Enabled: yes\*(R" (or removing it entirely), or by way of the
\&\f(CW\*(C`extrepo enable\*(C'\fR command (second case).
.SS "update \fIrepository_name\fP"
.IX Subsection "update repository_name"
Re-writes the apt configuration file for this repository, as well as the
\&\s-1GPG\s0 keyring for it, from the current metadata.
