.SH "SYNOPSIS"

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
httpup-repgen creates a repository for httpup. It reads the
.B ~/.httpup-repgen-ignore
and

ignore certain patterns of files. This file will be used in a 'grep -v
-f' command. Check the man page of grep(1) if you're uncertain how to use it.

httpup-repgen again requires the
.B md5sum

arise when publishing files which are executable: some webservers will
refuse to serve them.
