Ruby Quilt is a simple way to stitch files together. Ruby Quilt on github.
gem install ruby-quilt
require 'quilt'
config = {
:local_path => "<local path for versions>", // Required
:remote_host => "<remote host for fetching versions>", // Optional
:remote_port => "<remote port for fetching versions>", // Optional
:remote_path => "<base remote path for fetching versions>", // Optional
}
quilt = Quilt.new(config)
# selector = array of module names or selector proc that takes a module name and returns true or
# false depending on whether or not to include the module
quilt.stitch(selector, "<version number>");
local_path should point to a directory contains the following directory structure for each version:
<version name>/
<version name>/manifest.json
manifest.json has the following format:
{
"header" : "<header file>",
"footer" : "<footer file>",
"common" : [
"<module file>",
...
],
"optional" : {
"<module file>" : [ "<dependancy module name>", ... ],
...
}
}
Where each <module file> will point to a module to stitch. The filename should be <module name>
The modules will be stitched in the following order:
header
common (in the order they were present in the array)
optional (the only ordering that is guarenteed is: dependancies will be before their dependant modules)
footer
Circular dependancies will be shortcircuited and an error message will be sent to console.error.
Note: This is optional.
remote_host, remote_port, and remote_path together should point to a server which contains version tarballs to download at the following path:
http://remote_host:remote_portremote_path/<version name>.tgz
Note that remote_path must contain the leading slash and the version archive should be a gzipped tarball. The archive should contain the same directory structure as specified in the local_path section (without the base <version name> directory).
