a packaging framework.. and more!

packman

packman creates packages.

You can write a components file containing your packages' configuration and packman will retrieve the resources and create the packages accordingly.

The project was initally invented to create Cloudify (http://getcloudify.org/) packages and is now progressing towards being a simple open-source solution to creating different types of packages.

Installation

see packman requirements before installing packman

 pip install packman
 # or, for dev:
 pip install https://github.com/cloudify-cosmo/cloudify-packager/archive/develop.tar.gz

Usage Examples

see Components Configuration to configure your components file

 # `pkm get` retrieves component sources
 pkm get --components my_component --components_file /my_components_file.py
 # `pkm pack` packages sources, scripts and configs.
 pkm pack -c my_component,my_other_component
 # `pkm make` ... does both one after the other
 pkm make -x excluded_component

Additional Information

• packman's cli
• Alternative Implementations
• Template Handling
• packman API

Vagrant

A vagrantfile is provided to load machines:

• a packman host (which, by default, is ready to package components)
• a tester host (which, by default, is a clean machine to test the package installation on)
• CentOS and other distribs are being added...

Automated Vagrant Testing Environment

In future versions, an automated process of retrieval, packaging and installation will be implemented to check the entire process.
