Description: pool-based Debian package archiver
DebPool is a package archive maintenance utility designed with a goal of
removing any dependency on code not shipped as part of the core Debian
system.
.
It is capable of all of the following:
* Tracking multiple distributions (however, it does *not* include
unstable -> testing promotion scripts).
* Generating Release files (requires libdigest-{md5,sha1}-perl)
* Verifying package signatures (requires gnupg).
* Signing release files (requires Release files and gnupg).
* Running in single-pass or daemon modes.
.
DebPool is intended to be a lightweight replacement for the full Debian
archival scripts, in the tradition of debarchive and mini-dinstall, but
using a pool layout and avoiding external dependencies.
