Category debian:repository-index

This artifact stores an index file in a repository: as well as the standard repository index files, this covers any file that is not part of a source or binary package.

• Data: empty

• Files:

  • exactly one file, whose name is the base name of the path of the index file in the repository (e.g. Packages.xz)

• Relationships:

  • relates-to: for Release files, the other index files mentioned in them

  • extends: for Release.gpg and InRelease files, the corresponding unsigned Release file

Note that while in principle a Packages or Sources file relates to all the individual packages mentioned in it, actually creating those artifact relationships would result in a very large amount of churn in the ArtifactRelation table for relatively minimal benefit, so we intentionally skip those.
