Configuration

Options can be specified from the command line or stored in configuration files. The syntax is the same as the command line, but with a single option per line.

The settings are applied in the following order:

• ~/.reapack-index.conf (~ = home directory)
• ./.reapack-index.conf (. = repository root)
• command line
