Description
-----------

Pakit is a small python based package manager that builds programs from
source.

Pakit provides:

1. A package manager interface to install, remove & update programs.
2. A simple Recipe specification to build programs from source code.
3. Premade and tested
   `recipes <https://github.com/pakit/base_recipes>`__ maintained by
   pakit.

When you install a program Pakit will...

1. download the source into a silo in ``pakit.paths.source`` and build
   it.
2. install the program into a silo under ``pakit.paths.prefix``.
3. link the silo to the ``pakit.paths.link`` directory.

Want a longer explanation? See the
`Overview <https://github.com/starcraftman/pakit#overview>`__ section.

Demo
----

The following demonstration covers most of the basic functions.

|Pakit Demo|

Try the
`demo <https://github.com/starcraftman/pakit/blob/master/DEMO.md#demo>`__
yourself after installing pakit.

Install Pakit
-------------

To use pakit:

1. Ensure you have a **build environment** for compiling the programs.
2. Fetch pakit via **pip** or **github**.
3. Modify your **$PATH**.

Build Environment
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At this point pakit has two limitations to be aware of:

-  Relies on user's build environment.
-  Pakit recipes can only depend on things pakit can build, currently
   limited pool. User needs to install any dependencies pakit can't
   build.

To use pakit, I suggest you have...

-  c++ build environment
-  git
-  mercurial
-  anything a recipe depends on that pakit can't build

For Ubuntu install these packages:

.. code:: bash

    sudo apt-get install build-essential automake autoconf python-pip git mercurial liblzma-dev libevent-dev ncurses-dev

Github
~~~~~~

Fetch the latest from the source. Works unless the build badge says
failing.

.. code:: bash

    git clone https://github.com/starcraftman/pakit.git
    export PATH=$(pwd)/pakit/bin:$PATH
    python pakit/setup.py deps release

pip
~~~

Install the latest stable pip release. It might be old but working.

.. code:: bash

    sudo -H pip install pakit

PATH
~~~~

By default, pakit will install programs under ``pakit.paths.prefix`` and
link everything to ``pakit.paths.link``. To use the built programs,
``pakit.paths.link``/bin must be on your $PATH. So for example, with the
default value of ``pakit.paths.link``, you would need to:

.. code:: bash

    export PATH=/tmp/pakit/links/bin:$PATH

The above exports will only last for the terminal session. To make them
permanent for bash, edit ``$HOME/.bashrc`` or ``$HOME/.bash_aliases``.

More Information
----------------

>From inside the pakit source folder:

-  Help: ``pakit --help``
-  Consult man: ``man pakit``
-  Read pydocs: ``pydoc pakit`` or ``pydoc pakit.shell`` and so on...
-  Install all development packages: ``python setup.py deps``
-  Run the test suite: ``tox``
-  See `Waffle <http://waffle.io/starcraftman/pakit>`__ for things I'm
   working on.
-  Read ``DESIGN.md`` for details on design. A bit out of date.

Overview
--------

Basically I want to make a universal package manager on python. Runs
everywhere, builds anything and handles dependencies. A bit like a meta
build tool tying arbitrary recipes together. At the end of the day, will
probably resemble Homebrew at least a little.

Importantly, the recipes should be configurable via a single YAML file
that users can modify without changing the recipes. Say you want to pass
particular flags to the ``vim`` or ``ag`` build, you'd just put them in
an entry in the config.

Expected Feature Overview:

-  Python only, with minimal dependencies.
-  Package manager interface, install remove and update recipes.
-  100% tested, framework & supported recipes.
-  Should work on any POSIX system, emphasis on Linux.
-  Simple recipe specification.
-  Configuration via a single YAML file.
-  Available via `pip <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pakit>`__.
-  Traceability via logs for every command.
-  Premade & tested recipes available for use.

See
`DESIGN.md <https://github.com/starcraftman/pakit/blob/master/DESIGN.md>`__
for more details.

Roadmap
-------

For accurate plan, see waffle.io link above. Just a rough guess of what
I should be implementing when.

0.1
~~~

-  [x] Implement basic tasks to install & remove 'ag' program.
-  [x] Support Git & Hg repositories.
-  [x] Simple config from ``.pakit.yml``.
-  [x] Upgrade logic.
-  [x] User defined recipe locations via config.
-  [x] Pick a license.
-  [x] Pip/Wheel upload.

0.2
~~~

-  [x] Add archive support, supports download, hashing & extracting.
-  [x] Tar (tarfile)
-  [x] Zip (zipfile)
-  [x] tar.xz (xz command)
-  [x] Rar (rar command)
-  [x] 7z (7z command)
-  [x] Add list & searching support.
-  [x] Python 3 support
-  [x] Better error handling, rollback
-  [x] Improve Command, timeout & input file
-  [x] Investigate alternatives/improvements to RecipeDB

0.3
~~~

-  [ ] Make a website and promote. Maybe use github pages.
-  [x] Dependency logic between recipes tasks.
-  [x] Research best approach & do small design.
-  [x] Create Digraph Structure (likely required).
-  [x] Create Recipe specification & implement.
-  [ ] Handle missing commands inside recipes. For example, recipe needs
   git but git unavailable.
-  [x] Separate recipes from pakit core.
-  [ ] Move to pakit/pakit. `pakit <https://github.com/pakit>`__

0.4
~~~

-  [ ] Parallelism, envisioned as some task based dependency.

Beyond
~~~~~~

-  [ ] Create tool to convert homebrew ruby formula. Maybe?
