💅 man(8) — pkgos-fetch-fake-repo, bestie edition 🎀

okay so this is the man(8) page, section 8, and it's giving "small script, huge responsibility" energy, fr fr.

✨ NAME ✨

pkgos-fetch-fake-repo — prepear repository(folder) which contain Packages.gz and Sources.gz files of target distribution.

not me leaving the typo in, it's literally in the original, i don't make the rules 💀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

pkgos-fetch-fake-repo

that's it. that's the whole synopsis. no flags, no args, nothing. she just works. main character energy honestly 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea, bestie 🍓 — pkgos-fetch-fake-repo prepares a /etc/pkgos/fake-${TARGET_DISTRO}-mirror folder with Packages.gz and Sources.gz files inside it. slay.

and why do we even want that?? because later on we can use the madison-lite script when we're using pkgos-parse-requirements. that's the whole plan. ✨

now, the way that this matters: you could try to use rmadison for this task instead, but bestie… that is a way too slow. like, lowkey painfully slow. considering the average amount of dependency in a typical OpenStack component, it's just not the vibe. so we fake the repo instead and everything goes so much faster. periodt 💅

💖 OPTIONS 💖

the pkgos-fetch-fake-repo does not take any options.

zero. none. nada. it said "i don't need options, i need faith" 🙈✨

💀 BUGS 💀

No known bugs.

iconic behaviour, honestly. she's flawless. 🎀
