exndbam Repository Format

The exndbam repository format is used on Exherbo to track packages installed from an exheres. It is not used on Gentoo and derived distributions; VDB serves the equivalent purpose there.

As well as the general keys supported for all repositories, the following keys have meaning for exndbam format repositories:

location
The location of the repository. Mandatory.
builddir
The directory to use when 'building' a package for an uninstall (a temporary directory is needed for various operations). Optional.
