DESCRIPTION

rep_summary is an interface to PPM::Make::RepositorySummary, which may be used to generate various summary files as used by ActiveState's ppm system (summary.ppm, searchsummary.ppm, package.lst, and, unless excluded by the --no_ppm4 option, package.xml. See PPM::Make::RepositorySummary for a description of these files. Options include

--rep /path/to/ppds

This option, which is required, specifies the path to where the ppd files are found. The summary files will be written in this directory.

--no-ppm4

If this option is specified, the package.xml file (which contains some extensions used by ppm4) will not be generated.

--arch MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.8

If this option is given, it will be used as the ARCHITECTURE attribute of the REPOSITORYSUMMARY element of package.xml.
