tbp-initarchive − Initialize an archive and tree for tla-buildpackage
tbp-initarchive [ options ] archive_name archive_location working_location
tbp-initarchive is designed to set up both the tla archive and the working area for a tla-buildpackage setup. It automatically handles all the tasks relating to running tla and tla-buildpackage
tbp-initarchive will create the tla archive archive_name in archive_location, and check it out into working_location, having initialized that working area for tla-buildpackage. If ~/.tla-buildpackage does not exist, it will be created and the working location will be written into it.
archive_name
Gives the tla name of the archive to create. tla must not know anything about it prior to running this command. An example would be foo AT example DOT com--debian.
archive_location
Gives the directory where tla will create its history files. It must not exist prior to running this command.
working_location
Gives the directory where you will work with tla-buildpackage on a daily basis.
--make-archive-args=ARGUMENTS
pass ARGUMENTS to tla make-archive. e.g. --signed, to GPG sign the archive contents
--init-tree-args=ARGUMENTS
pass ARGUMENTS to tla init-tree. e.g. --nested, if the working directory is in a directory that is already controlled by tla.
-h, --help
display the help message and exit.
-v, --version
display version info and exit.
The following specific files are used by this application:
~/.tla-buildpackage
Specifies the default working copy location for all build procedures. This file, and the directory it specifies, are both normally created by tbp-initarchive.
The following environment variables are used by this application:
|
TBP_WC |
Specifies the working copy area for tla-buildpackage to use for all build-related tasks, overriding the value in ~/.tla-buildpackage, if any. |
