virt-index-validate: Validate virt-builder index file

NAME

virt-index-validate - Validate virt-builder index file

SYNOPSIS

 virt-index-validate index

DESCRIPTION

virt-builder(1) uses an index file to store metadata about templates that it knows how to use. This index file has a specific format which virt-index-validate knows how to validate.

Note that virt-index-validate can validate either the signed or unsigned index file (ie. either index or index.asc). It can only validate a local file, not a URL.

OPTIONS

--compat-1.24.0

Check for compatibility with virt-builder 1.24.0. (Using this option implies --compat-1.24.1, so you don't need to use both.)

In particular:

•

This version of virt-builder could not handle "[...]" (square brackets) in field names (eg. "checksum[sha512]=...").

•

It required detached signatures ("sig=...").

--compat-1.24.1

Check for compatibility with virt-builder ≥ 1.24.1.

In particular:

•

This version of virt-builder could not handle "." (period) in field names or "," (comma) in subfield names.

•

It could not handle comments appearing in the file.

--help

Display help.

-V

--version

Display version number and exit.

EXIT STATUS

This program returns 0 if the index file validates, or non-zero if there was an error.
