Note: The recommended and easiest way to build yourself
your own database copies (e.g. football.db, worlcup.db, etc.)
is using Datafiles.
See the openfootball/datafile repo for details.
Build scripts for football.db, worldcup.db, bundesliga.db, etc.
Use rake -T to list all available tasks. Example:
$ rake -T
Will print something like:
rake about # print versions of gems
rake alltime_stats # print alltime stats (for checksum mostly)
rake build # build football.db from scratch (default)
rake check # check repo paths
rake dump # print all events w/ groups and matches
rake logs # print logs (stored in db)
rake matches_stats # print matches stats (for checksum mostly)
rake standings # print standings for football.db (test/debug)
rake stats # print stats for football.db tables/records
rake update # update football.db
To get started use the following folder structure and clone some datasets with git. Example:
openmundi/ # -> create folder (e.g. mkdir openmundi)
world.db # -> git clone (see github.com/openmundi)
openfootball/ # -> create folder
build # -> git clone
national-teams # ..
world-cup # ..
Start your build (e.g. rake build) inside the openfootball/build folder.
Note: You can see (and change) all folder references in the settings.rb script.
Build the database for the World Cup in Brazil 2014 (from scratch):
rake build DATA=worldcup2014
Build the database for all the World Cups:
rake build DATA=worldcup
Build the database for the European Champions League 2014/15:
rake build DATA=cl201415
Update the database for the European Champions League 2014/15 (after updating your data sets from git):
rake update DATA=cl201415
And so on and so forth.
The build scripts are dedicated to the public domain. Use it as you please with no restrictions whatsoever.
Send them along to the Open Sports & Friends Forum/Mailing List. Thanks!
