DESCRIPTION

The summary file is an optional higher level form of repository metadata that describes the available branches. It needs to be manually regenerated after a series of commits. Among other things, this allows atomically updating multiple commits.

OPTIONS

--update,-u

: Update the summary file. This option can be combined with --add-metadata to add metadata fields to the summary.
If the repository has a collection ID configured, the ostree-metadata branch for that collection ID will also be updated with a new commit containing the given metadata, which will be signed if the summary file is signed.

--add-metadata,-m=KEY=VALUE

: Specify an additional metadata field to add to the summary. It must be in the format KEY=VALUE or as two separate arguments. The keys must be namespaced for your organisation or repository using a dot prefix. The values must be in GVariant text format. For example, exampleos.end-of-life "@t 1445385600". This option can be used multiple times.

--view,-v

: View the contents of the summary file in a human readable format.

--raw

: View the raw bytes of the summary file.

--gpg-sign=KEYID

: GPG Key ID to sign the summary with.

--gpg-homedir=HOMEDIR

: GPG Homedir to use when looking for keyrings.

--sign-type=ENGINE

: Use particular signature engine. Currently available ed25519 and dummy signature types. The default is ed25519.

--sign="KEY-ID"

There KEY-ID is:

for ed25519:

: base64-encoded secret key for commit signing.

for dummy:

: ASCII-string used as secret key.
