# Apt Repo Updater

This script will monitor an income dir and execute `reprepro` to
include the new .deb files under the income dir.

# Usage

Create a directory as WORK_DIR, take `work` as example, and cd into it.

```bash
mkdir work
cd work
```

Create `conf/distributions` with content like the follow for `reprepro`
to use, see more at [here](https://manpages.debian.org/jessie/reprepro/reprepro.1.en.html)

```bash
mkdir conf
cat << EOF > conf/distributions
Codename: bookworm
Description: An example repository
Architectures: amd64
Components: main
EOF
```

Start apt-repo-updater

```bash
/path/to/apt-repo-updater --work-dir .
```

Use another terminal to copy a .deb into the INCOME_DIR created
by apt-repo-updater, normally it will be named `income` under the WORK_DIR

```bash
cp /path/to/a/package.deb /path/to/WORK_DIR/income
```

Now the apt repository will include the .deb file just copyied.
And the .deb file will be deleted after included in the repository.
