buildidx is a little program that generates an index.tsv file for the SvarDOS repository.
 
You DON'T need buildidx if you're only using FDNPKG. This is a tool that can be useful only to administrators hosting and maintaining FDNPKG repositories. I tested (and used) it only on a Linux platform, but it might work on other platforms as well (if you manage to compile it correctly).
 
 
* Requirements *
 
To operate properly, buildidx needs following tools to be available:
- gzip
- unzip
To operate properly, buildidx needs 'unzip' to be available.
 
 
* How to use it *
16,8 → 12,3
Put all your packages into a single directory, for ex. "mystuff", and call buildidx with the directory as a parameter:
 
./buildidx mystuff
 
Then buildidx will compute a index.lst file and store it inside your directory. The directory will be useable as a FDNPKG repository then.
