egg-tarballs

Outdated egg!

This is an egg for CHICKEN 4, the unsupported old release. You're almost certainly looking for the CHICKEN 5 version of this egg, if it exists.

If it does not exist, there may be equivalent functionality provided by another egg; have a look at the egg index. Otherwise, please consider porting this egg to the current version of CHICKEN.

Description

A command line tool to generate tarballs and their respective sha1 sums for eggs in henrietta cache.

Repository

https://github.com/mario-goulart/egg-tarballs

Tools

This egg provides two command line tools: egg-tarballs and egg-tarballs-index.

egg-tarballs

egg-tarballs generates tarballs for egg sources from a cache directory generated by henrietta-cache.

 Usage: egg-tarballs [-verbose] [-version] <henrietta-cache-dir> <tarballs-dir>
 
 Create tarball files under <tarballs-dir>, using egg source files from
 <henrietta-cache-dir>.

<henrietta cache dir> is the path to the henrietta cache directory containing egg sources. <tarballs dir> is the directory where tarballs will be generated.

egg-tarballs-index generates index files for eggs. Index files summarize information about all eggs (see the next subsection for their format). egg-tarballs-index generates two index files: a small one (index-latest.scm), containing information about the latest egg versions only; and a bigger one (index.scm), containing information about all versions of all eggs.

 $ egg-tarballs-index -h
 Usage: egg-tarballs-index <optional-parameters> <required-parameters>
 
 Create index.scm and index-latest.scm files with metadata about eggs.
 
 <required-parameters>:
   -chicken-version <chicken version>
    CHICKEN major version to consider.
 
   -henrietta-cache-dir
    Path to the henrietta cache directory.
 
   -tarballs-dir
    Path to the tarballs directory.
 
 <optional-parameters>:
   -O|-out-dir <out dir>
     Output directory.  If not provided, files are written to the current
     directory.
 
   -version:
     Show the program version and exit.
 
 This program must be run _after_ egg-tarballs, since it needs
 information from tarballs and sum files.

Index file format

The first line is the index format version
the following lines have this format:

 (<egg> <version> <tarball size> <tarball SHA1 sum> <dependencies> <test dependencies>)

Notes

Starting on version 1.0.0, henrietta-cache uses a new cache format (the egg sources directory layout no longer contains the tags directory). The support for the new cache format has been added to egg-tarballs 0.5.0 (it also supports the old format).
