Example: Filter for only packages with {{.Release}} equal "release"

pkgcloud all fdio/1710 -t $'{{if eq .Release "release"}}{{.PackageHTMLURL}}\n{{end}}' 

which produces output:

/fdio/1710/packages/ubuntu/xenial/vpp-api-java_17.10-release_amd64.deb
/fdio/1710/packages/ubuntu/xenial/vpp-api-lua_17.10-release_amd64.deb

/fdio/1710/packages/ubuntu/xenial/vpp-api-python_17.10-release_amd64.deb
/fdio/1710/packages/el/7/vpp-lib-17.10-release.x86_64.rpm
/fdio/1710/packages/el/7/vpp-devel-17.10-release.x86_64.rpm
/fdio/1710/packages/el/7/vpp-plugins-17.10-release.x86_64.rpm
/fdio/1710/packages/el/7/vpp-api-lua-17.10-release.x86_64.rpm
/fdio/1710/packages/el/7/vpp-api-java-17.10-release.x86_64.rpm
/fdio/1710/packages/el/7/vpp-api-python-17.10-release.x86_64.rpm
/fdio/1710/packages/el/7/vpp-17.10-release.x86_64.rpm

Lets break down some things about the commandline. First $'string\n' escapes the string so that newlines can be represented with \n. Second {{if eq .Release "release"}}...{{end}} is an if statement the body of which is only evaluated if Release == "release" Third {{.PackageHTMLURL}}\n outputs the package html url for any packages that match the if statement

Example: Promote packages with {{.Release}} equal "release" to "fdio/staging"

pkgcloud all fdio/1804 -t $'{{if eq .Release "release"}}{{.Promote "fdio/staging" }}\n{{end}}' -d

{{.Promote "fdio/staging" }} Promotes any packages that that passthe if statement to repo "fdio/staging".

-d causes this to be a 'dry run'... meaning it doesn't actually promote, just tells you what it would do to promote.

Example: Filter for only packages older than 415 days

pkgcloud all fdio/1707 -t $'{{if gt .DaysOld 415}}{{.PackageHTMLURL}}: {{.DaysOld}}\n{{end}}'

Which outputs:

/fdio/1707/packages/ubuntu/xenial/vpp_17.07-rc1~b2_amd64.deb: 416
/fdio/1707/packages/ubuntu/xenial/vpp-plugins_17.07-rc1~b2_amd64.deb: 416
/fdio/1707/packages/ubuntu/xenial/vpp-api-python_17.07-rc1~b2_amd64.deb: 416
/fdio/1707/packages/ubuntu/xenial/vpp-dbg_17.07-rc1~b2_amd64.deb: 416
/fdio/1707/packages/ubuntu/xenial/vpp-dev_17.07-rc1~b2_amd64.deb: 416
/fdio/1707/packages/ubuntu/xenial/vpp-lib_17.07-rc1~b2_amd64.deb: 416
/fdio/1707/packages/ubuntu/xenial/vpp-api-lua_17.07-rc1~b2_amd64.deb: 416
/fdio/1707/packages/ubuntu/xenial/vpp-dpdk-dkms_17.05-vpp5_amd64.deb: 416
/fdio/1707/packages/el/7/vpp-dpdk-devel-17.05-vpp5.x86_64.rpm: 416

Example: Filter for only packages older than 415 days and promote them to repo "fdio/backup"

pkgcloud all fdio/1707 -t $'{{if gt .DaysOld 415}}{{.Promote "fdio/backup"}}\n{{end}}' -d

In this command, {{.Promote "fdio/backup"}} promotes the packages that pass the filter of {{if gt .DaysOld 415}} to the repo "fdio/backup". Note the -d, which causes this to be a dry run. If you really want to perform the promote, remove the -d

Example: Filter for only packages older than 475 days and delete them:

pkgcloud all fdio/backup -t $'{{if gt .DaysOld 475}}{{.Destroy}}\n{{end}}' -d

In this command, {{.Destroy}} deletes the packages that pass the filter of {{if gt .DaysOld 415}}. Note the -d, which causes this to be a dry run. If you really want to perform the delete, remove the -d

Pushing packages

pkgcloud push user/repo/distro/version/ filename

There are two optional flags for pkgcloud push:

• -d or --dry-run: which will tell you what would be done for pushing the package, but will not in fact push it, or delete if used in conjunction with -f
• -f or --force: If and only if the package to-be-pushed already exists in packagecloud.io, delete it and then push.
