DESCRIPTION

       swugenerator  is  a  tool  running  on  host to create and modify SWUpdate's Update files (SWU). SWU file
       contains a meta description of the release  (sw-description),  and  swugenerator  adds  components  to  a
       template  passed from command line.  This tool requires openssl to run and to sign the SWU. It is goal of
       the tool to fill the gap with Yocto/OE, where SWU generation is done  by  classes  in  the  meta-swupdate
       layer, but other buildsystems like Debian or Buildroot have no tools to create a SWU.

       The  tool  signs  the SWU and can encrypt the artifacts. The tool parses the libconf based sw-description
       (tool does not work for JSON based sw-description) and provides the following features:

          • replace occurrencies of variables found in the CONFIG file

          • add sha256 to each artifact

          • check if an artifact should be encrypted and encrypts it

          • sign sw-description with one of the methods accepted by SWUpdate

          • pack all artifacts into a SWU file

                                                                                                  SWUGENERATOR()
