exndbam Repository Format
The exndbam
repository format is used on Exherbo to track packages installed from an exheres. It is not
used on Gentoo and derived distributions; VDB serves the equivalent purpose there.
As well as the general keys supported for all repositories, the following keys have meaning
for exndbam
format repositories:
location
- The location of the repository. Mandatory.
builddir
- The directory to use when 'building' a package for an uninstall (a temporary directory is needed for various operations). Optional.
root
- The root to which this exndbam repository corresponds. Optional.
name
- The repository's name. Defaults to "installed". Usually only changed if multiple exndbam repositories are required.
