tbp-initarchive1

Usage

Overview

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.

Arguments

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 [email protected].

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.

Options

--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.
