libget

An extremely high-level package manager for just about anything

Usage

$ libget --help

See sample.json for a sample dependency specification for your project.

Currently, libget only supports copying files from a base package path where each dependency has a directory with its name and subdirectories for each version.

For example, if you have a dependency specification in spec.json:

{
  "version": "1",
  "dependencies": {
    "lib/openssl": { "name": "openssl", "version": "1.0" }
  }
}

then you must have a directory somewhere like this /packages/openssl/1.0.

You can install from this package source like this

$ cat spec.json | libget "/packages"

which will put the openssl dependency in ./lib/openssl.

Multiple Package Sources

You can do something like this to try different package sources in order:

$ libget "/local/packages" "/remote/packages" "/really/remote/packages" -f spec.json 

If a package cannot be found in /local/packages then libget will check /remote/packages, and so on.

Building

You must have

• Glasgow Haskell Compiler
• Cabal (which comes with the Haskell Platform)

Then you can

$ cd libget
$ cabal install
