Conary:Changeset Files

From rPath Wiki

Changesets may be stored in files for distribution in a manner similar to Conary package files, but changesets make more efficient use of network and storage resources since they express only changes. An absolute changeset represents the complete contents of a version in a repository, or the difference between nothing at all and the specified version. A relative changeset represents the differences between two versions in a repository.

Conary makes extensive use of changesets internally, but it is relatively rare that system administrators will encounter a file containing a changeset. The commands conary showcs and conary update can be used to examine and apply them.

• Examine changeset content with conary showchangeset
• Apply changesets with conary update
