-o Please be careful: katie sends out lots of emails and if not
+o Please be careful: dak sends out lots of emails and if not
configured properly will happily send them to lots of people who
probably didn't want those emails.
-o Don't use katie.conf, apt.conf, cron.* etc. as starting points for
- your own configuration files, they're the configuration files for
- auric (aka ftp-master.debian.org) and are highly Debian specific.
- Start from scratch and refer to the security.debian.org config files
- (-security) as they're a better example for a private archive.

-o Don't be put off by the names, see doc/README.names for a mapping of
- name -> what the script does.

What do all these scripts do?
=============================

- * jenna - generates file lists for apt-ftparchive and removes
- obsolete packages from suites
- * ziyi - generates Release
+ * dak make-suite-file-list - generates file lists for apt-ftparchive
+ and removes obsolete packages from
+ suites
+ * dak generate-releases - generates Release
o To clean things up:
- * rhona - to remove obsolete files from the pool
- * shania - to remove obsolete/stray files from the queue
- * melanie - to remove package(s) from suite(s)
- * alicia - to change individual override entries
+ * dak clean-suites - to remove obsolete files from the pool
+ * dak clean-queues - to remove obsolete/stray files from the queue
+ * dak rm - to remove package(s) from suite(s)
+ * dak override - to change individual override entries
o Information display:
- * madison - shows information about package(s)
- * helena - shows information about package(s) in queue/
- * alicia - can show you individual override entries
+ * dak ls - shows information about package(s)
+ * dak queue-report - shows information about package(s) in queue/
+ * dak override - can show you individual override entries
Generic and useful, but only for those with existing archives
-------------------------------------------------------------
-o catherine - migrates packages from legacy locations to the pool
-o neve - initializes a projectb database from an exisiting archive
+o dak poolize - migrates packages from legacy locations to the pool
+o dak init-archive - initializes a projectb database from an exisiting archive
Generic but not overly useful (in normal use)
---------------------------------------------
-o ashley - dumps info in .katie files
-o julia - sync PostgreSQL users with system users
-o rene - check for obsolete or duplicated packages
-o rose - directory creation in the initial setup of an archive
-o tea - various sanity checks of the database and archive
-o natalie - manpiulates/list override entries
-o heidi - removes/adds/lists package(s) from/to/for a suite

Semi-generic
------------
To generate less-used indices files:
-o charisma - generates Maintainers file
-o denise - generates override.<foo> files
+o dak make-maintainers - generates Maintainers file used by, e.g. debbugs
+o dak make-overrides - generates override.<foo> files
Mostly Debian(.org) specific
----------------------------
-o amber - wrapper for Debian security team
-o halle - removes obsolete .changes files from proposed-updates
-o jeri - basic dependency checking for proposed-updates
-o emilie - syncs fingerprint and uid information with a debian.org LDAP DB
-o lauren - manually reject packages from proposed-updates
+o dak security-install - wrapper for Debian security team
+o dak clean-proposed-updates - removes obsolete .changes files from proposed-updates
+o dak check-proposed-updates - basic dependency checking for proposed-updates

+o dak import-ldap-fingerprints - syncs fingerprint and uid information with a debian.org LDAP DB
Very Incomplete or otherwise not generally useful
-------------------------------------------------
-o alyson - currently only initializes a DB from a katie.conf config file
-o andrea - looks for version descrepancies that shouldn't exist in many
- archives
-o cindy - override cruft checker that doesn't work well with New Incoming
+o dak init-db - currently only initializes a DB from a dak.conf config file
+o dak compare-suites - looks for version descrepancies that shouldn't exist in many
+ archives
+o dak check-overrides - override cruft checker that doesn't work well with New Incoming
Scripts invoked by other scripts
--------------------------------
-o fernanda - invoked by lisa to "check" NEW packages
-o claire - invoked by catherine to determine packages still in legacy locations
-o katie - common code used by lisa, jennifer, kelly and others
+o dak examine-package - invoked by 'dak process-new' to "check" NEW packages
+o dak symlink-dists - invoked by 'dak poolize' to determine packages still in legacy locations
How do I get started?
=====================
[Very incomplete - FIXME]
-o Write your own katie.conf and apt.conf files. katie looks for those
- config files in /etc/katie/. /etc/katie/katie.conf can define
- alternative configuration files with Config::host::KatieConfig and
+o Write your own dak.conf and apt.conf files. dak looks for those
+ config files in /etc/dak/. /etc/dak/dak.conf can define
+ alternative configuration files with Config::host::DakConfig and
Config::host::AptConfig (where "host" is the fully qualified domain
name of your machine).
-o Create a PostgreSQL database on the host given in katie.conf's DB::Host
+o Create a PostgreSQL database on the host given in dak.conf's DB::Host
with the name specified in DB::Name.
-o Run rose: this will create all directories which are specified in
- katie.conf and apt.conf.
+o Run 'dak init-dirs': this will create all directories which are specified in
+ dak.conf and apt.conf.
o If you have an existing archive:
- * Run neve
+ * Run 'dak init-archive'
otherwise:
* Create the table structure. init_pool.sql contains all SQL statements
which are needed for this. After changing all occurences of "projectb"
to the name of your database (as defined in DB::Name) you can run:
psql <DB::Name> < init_pool.sql
- * Run alyson: it will populate your database with the values from
- katie.conf and apt.conf.
+ * Run 'dak init-db': it will populate your database with the values from
+ dak.conf and apt.conf.
* Run 'psql <DB::Name> < add_constraints.sql'.
o Copy all templates from the "templates" directory to to the directory
specified in Dir::Templates, and adapt them to your distribution.
