💖 SUSETAGS2SOLV 💖

okay so this is the susetags2solv manual page, part of libsolv, and bestie it is so much less scary than it sounds, i promise 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

susetags2solv — convert the susetags repository format into a solv file 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

susetags2solv [OPTIONS]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so the susetags format is like, the repository format on most products created by SUSE. iconic of them honestly 👑

susetags2solv reads data from standard input, converts the format into a solv file, and writes it to standard output. that's it. that's the whole vibe. stdin in, solv out, no cap ✨

now the flags, because this is where it gets juicy:

• -c CONTENTFILE — also parse the specified content file containing meta information about the repository. like, extra context? yes please 💅
• -q WHAT — data query mode!! instead of writing a solv file, it selects the WHAT element in the input data and writes it to standard output. an example for WHAT is defaultvendor, to get a default vendor for the repository. so instead of converting the whole thing you're just, like, peeking at one lil element 🔍✨
• -M MERGEFILE.solv — merge the content of the specified solv file into the output. combining two things into one?? that's giving main character energy fr fr 💖
• -X — autoexpand SUSE pattern and product provides into packages. lowercase slay, capital X 🌸
