An arch archive is a directory containing a number of files and subdirectories. Its structure is described in this appendix.
Each category, branch, version, and revision are given a separate directory. These are nested. From the root of the archive:
CATEGORY/ CATEGORY/BRANCH/ CATEGORY/BRANCH/VERSION/ CATEGORY/BRANCH/VERSION/REVISION/
For example, version 1.0
of the devo
branch of the arch
category
might have these directories:
arch/ arch/arch--devo/ arch/arch--devo--1.0/ arch/arch--devo--1.0/base-0/ # the base revision arch/arch--devo--1.0/patch-1/ # pre-patch revisions arch/arch--devo--1.0/patch-2/ # ... ... arch/arch--devo--1.0/version-0/ # the version revision arch/arch--devo--1.0/versionfix-1/ # post-patch revisions arch/arch--devo--1.0/versionfix-2/ # ... ...
Every revision directory contains the log message for that revision as a plain-text file:
File: log
Format: RFC822-style headers plus body
If a revision directory is a full-source revision (typically a
base-0
revision) it will contain a compressed tar file of the entire
revision tree. The name of the tar file is the full name (sans
archive name) of the revision:
File: REVISION.tar.gz
Format: gzip-compressed tar file containing a complete source tree, rooted in a single top-level directory named REVISION.
Example: arch--devo--1.0--base-0.tar.gz
contains a full-source tree rooted at `arch--devo--1.0--base-0'
If a revision directory is a patch (not a full-source revision), then the revision directory contains a compressed tar file of the patch set (see The arch Patch Set Format):
File: REVISION.patches.tar.gz
Format: gzip-compressed tar file containing a patch set, rooted in a single top-level directory named REVISION.
Example: arch--devo--1.0--patch-1.tar.gz
contains a patch-set tree rooted at `arch--devo--1.0--patch-1'
Note: Every revision is either a full source revision or a patch revision. Thus, every revision directory contains exactly one of the two files:
REVISION.tar.gz REVISION.patches.tar.gz
If a revision is a continuation revision (a tag of some other revision)
