chisel-releases

Chisel uses slice definitions files (aka SDFs) to define the slices of packages. SDFs are YAML files, and there is one per package and per Ubuntu release, named after the package name.

For a given Ubuntu release, the collection of SDFs plus a configuration file named chisel.yaml form what is called a chisel-release.

The chisel-releases repository contains a number of branches for various chisel-releases, matching the corresponding Ubuntu releases. If you find a specific release missing, let the maintainers know by creating a new issue in the chisel-releases repository .

A chisel-release is simply a directory with the following structure:

├── chisel.yaml
└── slices
    ├── pkgA.yaml
    ├── pkgB.yaml
    └── ...
