Eternity Quickstart

Commands:

Build

Optional arguments:

• -o <path>: Specify an output to store the built package.
• -d OR --disk: Build EPK on disk instead of in memory. This is useful for large EPKs.

Build the project using the specified configuration.

eternity build

Convert

Convert an rpm into an epk.

eternity convert </path/to/rpm> </path/to/output/epk>

Repo

Build/Generate repositories.

:::note The difference between build and generate in the eternity help build output is unclear.

build creates a repo from projects in a directory, while generate creates the repo directly from EPK's in a folder. :::

Options:

• build: Build a repository from a directory containing EPK project directories.
• generate: Generate a repository from a directory containing EPKs.

eternity repo <build/generate> <directory>

Package

Unclear, help commands outputs nothing. This will be fixed later

:::danger Do not use command, unknown behaviour :::

eternity package <epk>
