DPM Configuration Options

These are identified options in the DPM configuration file. The DPM configuration file is intended to be places at /etc/dpm/config.

force_signature_validation

Enables the signature validation requirement for a package to install. Can still be overridden with an optional switch.

force_integrity_validation

Enables the package integrity validation requirement for a package to install. Can still be overridden with an optional switch.

signature_method

Defaults to SHA-256. Other options will be available provided by the library that supplies supported cryptographic methods to use.

target_rootfs

Defaults to '/'. This tells DPM when working with package contents the root directory of where to install those contents. So, for instance, if you had a custom solution you were building, like a chroot, container directory tree, or a sysroot, or some other use, you could set this to the top-level directory of where that would be so that you could populate that directory as opposed to the root filesystem of the linux distribution.

This can also be supplied as a commandline option when installing a package. If supplied as a commandline option, the supplied commandline option will take priority over this value.

accepted_architectures

A comma delimited list of acceptable architectures.

For example, on a multilib x86_64 system, you’d probably want:

accepted_architectures = i686, noarch, x86_64

Or perhaps for an aarch64 system, you’d set this to noarch, x86_64.
