Description : Generates SWU update packages for SWUpdate
Debian has the package swupdate already in the archive.
The creation of update packages for swupdate is not trivial,
which is why swugenerator was created.
swugenerator is a tool running on host to create and modify SWUpdate's Update
files (SWU).
SWU files contain a meta description of the release (sw-description), and swugenerator adds
components to a template passed from command line. It is goal of the tool to fill the gap with
Yocto/OE, where SWU generation is done by classes in the meta-swupdate layer but Debian has no tools
to create a SWU.
The tool signs the SWU and can encrypt the artifacts. The tool parses the
libconf based sw-description.
