# Devinstall

This is a poor man automatic builder / installer / deployer for packages.

The build happens on a remote machine (in the future on several remote machines by package type)
via external tools rsync and ssh.

The packages are installed on the remote machines also via external rsync/scp and sshsudo
(until I will implement something more appropriate in Ruby)

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

    gem 'devinstall'

And then execute:

    $ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

    $ gem install devinstall

## Usage

When you install the gem, the installer automaticaly install a program named pkg-tool. 
All the actions can be done via this tool.

The general command line syntax is:

	$ pkg_tool <action> [<package>] [--env <environment>] [--type <type>] [--config <config_file>]

Where:

### Action can be one of the:

    build

Builds the package on the `build/env/host` and copy the package file(s) back in the `base/temp` folder

    install

Build (using `build` command) and install the builded package on the `install/env/host`

    tests

Run the tests described in `test` section of the configuration file

    upload

Build the package, run the tests and upload thr file to the repo

### The switches

The command line switches are:

  --config: the config file (defaults to ./devinstall.yml)

  --env: the environment for the install or upload action

  --type: only for –action build and specifies the package type (deb, rpm, tar.gz, arc....)

The switches override the defaults in the config file

## Example command:

    $ pkg-tool install devinstall –config ./config.yml --env dev

This will build and install the package "devinstall" on dev environment

or

    $ pkg-tool upload devinstall --config ./config.yml --env dev-rh

This will build and upload package "devinstall" to repository for dev-rh environment as defined in config.yml
