+=head1 NAME
+
+virt-builder-repository - Build virt-builder source repository easily
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ virt-builder-repository /path/to/repository
+    [-i|--interactive] [--gpg-key KEYID]
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+Virt-builder is a tool for quickly building new virtual machines. It can
+be configured to use template repositories. However creating and
+maintaining a repository involves many tasks which can be automated.
+virt-builder-repository is a tool helping to manage these repositories.
+
+Virt-builder-repository loops over the files in the C</path/to/repository>
+folder, compresses the files with a name ending by C<qcow2>, C<raw> or
+C<img>, extracts data from them and creates or updates the C<index> file.
+
+Some of the image-related data needed for the index file can't be
+computed from the image file. virt-builder-repository first tries to
+find them in the existing index file. If data are still missing after
+this, they are prompted in interactive mode, otherwise an error will
+be triggered.
+
+If a C<KEYID> is provided, the generated index file will be signed
+with this GPG key.
+
+=head1 EXAMPLES
+
+=head2 Create the initial repository
+
+Create a folder and copy the disk image template files in it. Then
+run a command like the following one:
+
+ virt-builder-repository --gpg-key "joe at hacker.org" -i /path/to/folder
+
+Note that this example command runs in interactive mode. To run in
+automated mode, a minimal index file needs to be created before running
+the command containing sections like this one:
+
+ [template_id]
+ name=template display name
+ file=template_filename.qcow.xz
+ arch=x86_64
+ revision=0
+ size=0
+ expand=/dev/sda3
+
+The file value needs to match the image name extended with the ".xz"
+suffix. Other optional data can be prefilled, for more informations,
+see the I<Creating and signing the index file> section in
+L<virt-builder(1)> man page.
+
+=head2 Update images in an existing repository
+
+In this use case, an new image or a new revision of an existing image
+needs to be added to the repository. Place the corresponding image
+template files in the repository folder.
+
+To update the revision of an image, the file needs to have the same
+name than the existing one (without the C<xz> extension).
+
+As in the repository creation use case, a minimal fragment can be
+added to the index file for the automated mode. This can be done
+on the signed index even if it may sound a strange idea: the index
+will be resigned by the tool.
+
+To remove an image from the repository, just remove the corresponding
+compressed image file before running virt-builder-repository.
+
+Then running the following command will complete and update the index
+file:
+
+ virt-builder-repository --gpg-key "joe at hacker.org" -i /path/to/folder
+
+virt-builder-repository works in a temporary folder inside the repository
+one. If anything wrong happens when running the tool, the repository is
+left untouched.
+
+=head1 OPTIONS
+
+=over 4
+
+=item B<--help>
+
+Display help.
+
+=item B<--gpg> GPG
+
+Specify an alternate L<gpg(1)> (GNU Privacy Guard) binary.  You can
+also use this to add gpg parameters, for example to specify an
+alternate home directory:
+
+ virt-builder-repository --gpg "gpg --homedir /tmp" [...]
+
+This can also be used to avoid gpg asking for the key passphrase:
+
+ virt-builder-repository --gpg "gpg --passphrase-file /tmp/pass --batch" [...]
+
+=item B<--gpg-key> KEYID
+
+Specify the GPG key to be used to sign the repository index file.
+If not provided, the index will left unsigned. C<KEYID> is used to
+identify the GPG key to use. This value is passed to gpg's
+C<--default-key> option and can can thus be an email address or a
+fingerprint.
+
+B<NOTE>: by default, virt-builder-repository searches for the key
+in the user's GPG key ring.
+
+=item B<-i>
+
+=item B<--interactive>
+
+Prompt for missing data.

+
+=head1 EXIT STATUS
+
+This program returns 0 if successful, or non-zero if there was an
+error.
