<h1> The s6-rc-repo-init program </h1>
<p>
s6-rc-repo-init initializes a <a href="repodefs.html#repository">repository</a>
on a system, linking it to a list of <a href="repodefs.html#store">stores</a>
and ensuring that the set of all services defined in all the stores is
consistent.
</p>
<h2> Interface </h2>
<pre>
s6-rc-repo-init [ -v <em>verbosity</em> ] [ -r <em>repo</em> ] [ -h <em>fdhuser</em> ] [ -f ] [ -U ] [ -B ] <em>stores...</em>
</pre>
<ul>
<li> s6-rc-repo-init creates an s6-rc repository at location <em>repo</em>. </li>
<li> It makes <em>stores...</em> (which must be a list of several locations in the
filesystem) the current list of stores for this repository. </li>
<li> It synchronizes with the list of stores, as if
<a href="s6-rc-repo-sync.html">s6-rc-repo-sync</a> had been called. That means
that it imports all the services in the stores and builds the
<a href="repodefs.html#refdb">reference database</a>. </li>
<li> It exits 0. </li>
</ul>
<h2> Options </h2>
<dl>
<dt> -v <em>verbosity</em>, --verbosity=<em>verbosity</em> </dt>
<dd> Be more or less verbose. The default is <strong>1</strong>, which means
that error messages and warnings will be written to stderr. 0 means that only
error messages will be written, and 2 or more adds informational messages.
The option is also passed to commands that s6-rc-repo-init may call, such
as <a href="s6-rc-compile.html">s6-rc-compile</a>, so their verbosity will
be similarly adjusted. </dd>
<dt> -r <em>repo</em>, --repository=<em>repo</em> </dt>
<dd> Create the repository in <em>repo</em>. Default is
<strong>/var/lib/s6-rc/repository</strong>. Unless the <tt>-U</tt> option is
given, <em>repo</em> must not previously exist in the filesystem.
</dd>
<dt> -h <em>fdhuser</em>, --fdholder-user=<em>fdhuser</em> </dt>
<dd> You can safely ignore this option and forget about it. What it does
is ensure that if a supervision tree is started as root on a compiled
database produced by this command (this will never happen to the reference
database, so it is only ever useful together with the <tt>-U</tt>
option when there are sets to update), the fd-holder daemon in that
supervision tree runs as <em>fdhuser</em> rather than root. Told you:
you can safely forget about that option. </dd>
<dt> -f, --force </dt>
<dd> Make a new repository at <em>repo</em> even if one already exists.
This is dangerous, use of this option is not recommended. </dd>
<dt> -U, --update-stores </dt>
<dd> Rather than create a new repository, change the list of stores in an
existing one. This is useful, for instance, when a distribution's policies
change and local stores are added, moved, or removed. It is not an operation
that should be done frequently, however. </dd>
<dt> -B, --bare </dt>
<dd> Do not synchronize the repository with the stores. This is
useful if you are going to call
<a href="s6-rc-repo-sync.html">s6-rc-repo-sync</a> afterwards anyway. </dd>
</dl>
<h2> Exit codes </h2>
<dl>
<dt> 0 </dt> <dd> Success. </dd>
<dt> 1 </dt> <dd> Failure. The services in the listed stores do not make a
consistent reference database. With a nonzero <em>verbosity</em>, the error
messages from <a href="s6-rc-compile.html">s6-rc-compile</a> will be displayed
and detail exactly what went wrong. </dd>
<dt> 100 </dt> <dd> Incorrect usage. </dd>
<dt> 111 </dt> <dd> System call failed. This usually signals an issue with the
underlying operating system. </dd>
</dl>
<h2> Notes </h2>
<ul>
<li> s6-rc-repo-init is the first command to invoke when creating a repository,
or when a change occurs within the stores. </li>
<li> There is generally only one repository per system, but non-root users
who would want to run their own tree of s6-rc services can do so by specifying
an alternative <em>repo</em>. </li>
</ul>
