The mr(1) command can checkout, update, or perform other actions on a
set of repositories as if they were one combined respository. It
supports any combination of git, svn, mercurial, bzr, darcs, cvs,
vcsh, fossil, and veracity repositories. It supports extensions which
in turn can use more version control systems.
It is configurable via shell scripting. Some examples of things it can do include:
* Update a repository no more frequently than once every twelve hours.
* Run an arbitrary command before committing to a repository.
* When updating a git repository, pull from two different upstreams
and merge the two together.
* Run several repository updates in parallel, greatly speeding up
the update process.
* Remember actions that failed due to a laptop being offline, so they can be retried when it comes back online.
This package also includes the webcheckout(1) command.
Paths come from the repository package-file index for the observed builds. They describe archive/package associations, not every file that will exist on a running system after maintainer scripts, alternatives, generated state, diversions, or installation choices.
Each row is recorded package-index metadata for one version, architecture, suite, and repository. Names, URLs, and sizes are source-reported; a link is a potentially mutable retrieval location, not an OpenFactory redistribution claim or proof that OpenFactory retained the artifact bytes.
