arx: Archive execution tool.
The ARX
system provides services for packaging, deploying and running
source code. No particular format or framework is needed -- a directory of
code and a command to run are enough. The system has no in-built notion of
remote connections, job servers or clusters; all automation is captured as
Bourne compatible scripts.
An archive of the source code, a command and optionally an environment are
encoded together in a Bourne shell script that uses a small number of UNIX
utilities in a broadly portable way. The generated scripts can be run
directly or fed to sh
on STDIN. This latter feature is useful when one
would like to use ssh
and sudo
to set an appropriate executation
context, for example running: ssh user@example.com sudo sh
.
The shell tools used are head
, sed
, date
, tr
and tar
. The calls to
tar
sometimes use -j
and -z
; these calls to tar
may result in calls
to bzip2
and gzip
. Scripts have been tested with dash
and the GNU
tools as well as the sh
and tools that are part of busybox
.
The arx
command line tool provides the tmpx
subcommand for preparing
jobs to run and the shdat
subcommand for access to the low-level shell
encoder. The System.Posix.ARX
module provides access to the routines used
for constructing commands and environments, describing archives and building
Bourne shell scripts.
One way I have used arx
is to test the Cabal source archive for this
package:
arx tmpx ./dist/arx-* // 'cd arx-* && cabal configure && cabal build' | sh
There are binary arx
command line tool releases available from:
https://github.com/solidsnack/arx/downloads
For each supported platform, there is an archive containing arx
and
signature files (SHA 512 and GPG).
