 virt-index-validate index

virt-builder(1) uses an index file to store metadata about templates that it knows how to use.  This index file has a specific format which virt-index-validate knows how to validate.

Note that virt-index-validate can validate either the signed or unsigned index file (ie. either index or index.asc).  It can only validate a local file, not a URL.

--compat-1.24.0

Check for compatibility with virt-builder 1.24.0.  (Using this option implies --compat-1.24.1, so you don't need to use both.)

In particular:

• This version of virt-builder could not handle [...] (square brackets) in field names (eg. checksum[sha512]=...).
• It required detached signatures (sig=...).

--compat-1.24.1

Check for compatibility with virt-builder ≥ 1.24.1.

In particular:

• This version of virt-builder could not handle . (period) in field names or , (comma) in subfield names.
• It could not handle comments appearing in the file.
