Hello Kirby, Bootstrapping to an existing repository is the best way? By bootstrapping a monstrous repository will be created with a lot of stuff that is not really needed in the end. How difficult is to create an 'empty repository' and fill it with the right contents? (your Perl script is definitely useful, same as the ant task to publish to the new repository).
I'm trying to follow this short tutorial: http://www.drillio.com/en/software-build/apache-ivy/create-local-repository-guide/ Not exactly what I need but I like the fact that you are in control on what is inside the repository. I'll let you know how far I get with this :-) Anybody else has other suggestions? Thanks in advance! --Jose -----Original Message----- From: Kirby Files [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 02 May 2011 16:42 To: [email protected] Cc: Nunez Zuleta, Jose V: IT (NYK) Subject: Re: How to create a filesystem repository [email protected] wrote on 05/02/2011 03:00 PM: > Hello to all, > > Can someone tell me how I can create a local filesystem repository with Ivy? > I've been through the documentation and it is not clear how I can get started. > > My jar files are in the format > > Libdirectory/module/jar1.jar > Libdirectory/module/jar2.jar Yes, Jose, this is one of the more frustrating deficiencies in the Ivy toolset: it's difficult to migrate from the most common situation (a directory full of jars with no metadata) to an ivy.xml file with dependencies and a repository containing those jars with metadata. I have some suggestions: 1) Start with some decent metadata and existing sources of dependency management: use the IvyRoundup packager repository or the public Maven repos (with the ibiblio resolver) to bootstrap your filesystem repository with the <ivy:install> task (it can copy from a source repo to a dest repo, if necessary converting the maven poms to ivy.xml in the process). 2) Create an ivysettings.xml with all of the repos, public and private, that you'll need to access. 3) Create an ivy.xml and a ivy:publish target for each of your projects, and publish those to your repository. 3) Use scripts to install jars not available publicly, nor produced internally, from a directory to your repository. I use this script: -------------------------------------- #!/bin/csh if ($1 == "") then echo "Usage: installjar <org> <module> <revision> <path-to-file>" else /usr/local/ant/bin/ant -Dorg="$1" -Dmodule="$2" -Drev="$3" -Dinstall.path="$4" $5 $6 $7 $8 $9 endif -------------------------------------- With the following build target: -------------------------------------- <target name="installjar" depends="init-ivy" description="--> install jar to masrep"> <ivy:install settingsRef="masergy.settings" organisation="${org}" module="${module}" revision="${rev}" type="jar" from="${localjar.resolver}" to="${to.resolver}" /> </target> -------------------------------------- Where my build.properties defines these variables: localjar.resolver=localjars to.resolver=masrep_sftp And my ivysettings.xml includes: <resolvers> <filesystem name="localjars"> <artifact pattern="${install.path}/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]" /> <artifact pattern="${install.path}/[artifact].[ext]" /> </filesystem> </resolvers> This script allows me to specify a jar on the local filesystem by its name and the directory in which it resides (install.path), add the org, and rev metadata, and publish it to one of my resolvers (I use SFTP with a keyfile to push files up to our webserver; you may use a filesystem resolver or webdav as a destination). I also have a bigger hack of a perl script which attempts to read a directory of jars and guess the org, modul, and rev (validating against maven2), or prompt the user when it's unclear. See below.
