DAEMON CONFIGURATION

       pybit-watcher needs to be configured before it will run and process uploads. The
       configuration file is in JSON format, ordering is not important.

       repobase - top level directory of the reprepro repository, i.e. where reprepro can find
       the ./conf/distributions file.

       path - directory used for uploads, must be writeable by whichever user(s) will be able to
       upload.

       dryrun - if set to true, commands are printed to the console instead of being executed.
       Default: true

       rule - the reprepro incoming rule to call with this watcher. Only one incoming rule can be
       used.

       sleeptime - the time allowed after the watcher is notified that a .changes file has been
       written to allow for the upload tool to change permissions or other management tasks.
       Default: 3 seconds.

       configured - Set to true once the other settings are correct for your installation.
       Default is false.
