Advanced usage ============== Depending on the goal the package can be used in different ways. Nevertheless, in the most cases you will need some basic classes .. code-block:: python from pathlib import Path from ahriman.core.configuration import Configuration from ahriman.core.database import SQLite architecture = "x86_64" configuration = Configuration.from_path(Path("/etc/ahriman.ini"), architecture, quiet=False) sqlite = SQLite.load(configuration) At this point there are ``configuration`` and ``database`` instances which can be used later at any time anywhere, e.g. .. code-block:: python # instance of ``RepositoryPaths`` class paths = configuration.repository_paths Almost all actions are wrapped by ``ahriman.core.repository.Repository`` class .. code-block:: python from ahriman.core.repository import Repository repository = Repository(architecture, configuration, database, no_report=False, unsafe=False) And the ``repository`` instance can be used to perform repository maintenance .. code-block:: python build_result = repository.process_build(known_packages) built_packages = repository.packages_built() update_result = repository.process_update(built_packages) repository.process_report(None, update_result) repository.process_sync(None, update_result.success) For the more info please refer to the classes documentation.
