Artefacta - Manage artefact downloads and patched upgrades

artefacta, Latin, "the artefacts"

This is a small tool used to package/upload/download/extract software builds.

Concepts and Features

All commands operate on an index which is built by listing current builds.
Builds are stored in both a local and remote store.
Supports creating and using binary patches using bidiff
Builds and patches are mirrored locally
Builds and patches are compressed using zstd

Usage

Run artefacta [command] --help to discover CLI options.

Environment variables

ARTEFACTA_LOCAL_STORE: Path to local store (on file system)
ARTEFACTA_REMOTE_STORE: Path to remote store (on file system or S3)
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: Used for authorizing S3 requests
ARTEFACTA_COMPRESSION_LEVEL: Overwrite default compression level used when packaging builds
RUST_LOG: Enable logging beyond what --verbose can do. See the env_logger docs for details on the syntax.

Notes

Locally, a current symlink points at the currently used version (which might or might not be latest one).
S3 URIs should be formatted like s3://my-bucket.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/test
