rezrxt is a simple baked resolve management layer for rez. It provides an interface and example implementation of a database which tracks rxt files for a given context and package over time.
Currently, there is a file based implementation, with a planned Postgres + RESTful api coming once the database schema proves stable.
The first implementation is backed by a directory structure, which looks something like this:
/root
/context
/<context>
/name
/<name>
/timestamp
/<epoc>
/<context>-<name>-<epoc>.rxt
An example entry example looks like this:
/rezrxt_root/context/fx/name/houdini/timestamp/4311234/fx-houdini-4311234.rxt
It is an extreme stretch to refer to this as a database. However, I can play with the api interface without too much trouble. In the future, I plan on using Postgres, and storing the data as bson blobs. This should make for a fun hybrid approach (sql/document), as well as open up queries on metadata.
- release rezrxt as a rez package.
- set up your environment, including the path to the database, via env var (REZRXT__DB_ROOT)
- resolve your environment via
rez env rezrxt.
