A lightweight but feature-rich Bash script for building WoltLab Suite™ Core packages.
First of all, you must place the build.sh file in the root directory of your project. Then you need to create a .packageinfo file that contains basic information about the package, such as the filename of the archive to be created and optionally custom directories that need to be archived during the build process (e.g. files_update). Place the .packageinfo file in the same directory as the build.sh file.
A sample file that meets the minimum requirements would look like this:
packageIdentifier=software.krymo.woltlab.suite.core.sample
By default the build script recognizes directories named acptemplates, files, style and templates and automatically archives them.
Under certain circumstances, however, it may be necessary to archive additional directories during the build process. In this case you can simply extend the .packageinfo file:
packageIdentifier=software.krymo.woltlab.suite.core.sample
packageArchives=files_update;templates_update
Directories must be separated by semicolon (;). In this example two archives (files_update.tar and templates_update.tar) would be created with the contents of the directories with the same name.
You can find the package archive in the build/ directory after running the build script.
The build script utilizes the --exclude-vcs option of GNU tar. This ensures that files that are excluded from being added to version control systems are also excluded from being added to the package archive. Nevertheless, you might want to adapt your ignore file to exclude the build/ directory created by this build script.
