Reaper Man

"What can the harvest hope for, if not for the care of the Reaper Man?"

- Terry Pratchett

Grow code, harvest packages

Harvests

Reaper man generates a JSON registry that describes one or more package repositories that can be used to generate the expected repository file system. Packages are added or removed from the registry, and regeneration of the repository file system is fast and simple. The generated repository file system will refer to the referenced packages but will not actually contain the referenced packages. Storage of the actual package assets (and the delivery of said assets) is left to the reader.

Support

Enabled

  • deb/apt
  • gem/rubygems

Usage

Add package to registry

> reaper-man package add my_pkg.deb --packages-file registry.json

Remove package from registry

or remove a specific version

> reaper-man package remove my_pkg 1.0.0 --packages-file registry.json

This can also be used to update an existing repository structure.
