pmaint regen - regenerate repository caches¶

Synopsis¶

pmaint regen [--domain DOMAIN] [-h] [--debug] [-q] [-v]
             [--color BOOLEAN] [--disable-eclass-caching] [-t THREADS]
             [--force] [--dir CACHE_DIR] [--rsync] [--use-local-desc]
             [--pkg-desc-index]
             [repo ...]

Positional Arguments¶

repo¶: repo(s) to regenerate caches for

Config Options¶

--domain DOMAIN¶: custom pkgcore domain to use for this operation

Base Options¶

-h, --help¶: Show this help message and exit. To get more information see the related man page.

--debug¶: Enable debug checks and show verbose debug output.

-q, --quiet¶: Suppress non-error, informational messages.

-v, --verbose¶: Increase the verbosity of various output.

--color BOOLEAN¶: Toggle colored output support. This can be used to forcibly enable color support when piping output or other situations where stdout is not a tty.

Subcommand Options¶

--disable-eclass-caching¶

For regen operation, pkgcore internally turns on an optimization that: caches eclasses into individual functions thus parsing the eclass only twice max per EBD processor. Disabling this optimization via this option results in ~2x slower regeneration. Disable it only if you suspect the optimization is somehow causing issues.

-t, --threads THREADS¶: Number of threads to use for regeneration, defaults to using all available processors.

--force¶: force regeneration to occur regardless of staleness checks or repo settings

--dir CACHE_DIR¶: use separate directory to store repository caches

--rsync¶: perform actions necessary for rsync repos (update metadata/timestamp.chk)

--use-local-desc¶: update local USE flag description cache (profiles/use.local.desc)

--pkg-desc-index¶: update package description cache (metadata/pkg_desc_index)
