Been away from the Joomla! family for a little while, due to a heady mixture of Holidays, Illness, and a HUGE amount of work within EDS. Getting back into the programming groove again, and have created a Packager for Joomla!, ready for the next release - I know this is repeating work done by Sam, but it was fun to have a play on a small project like that. Available as a set of Linux scripts or a front-ended webpage. With JPackager you have the following options;
  • --task= : These can be either package, patch, download, protect, or delete
  • --username= : Your username on Jforge
  • --password= : Your password on Jforge
  • --version- : The label you wish to tag the download with or work on.
A command line example use, which is also front-ended on the webpage above, is;
# sudo jpackager --username=zegris --password=rustysub --task=package --version=1.0.8 The above would run the package process, which exports from the svn and creates Joomla_1.0.8-Stable-Full_Package.tar.gz and the patches from previous versions; Joomla_1.0.x_to_1.0.8-Stable-Patch.tar.gz (the .zip versions of these will also be created).
Have a play, and wonder where the bug tracker is :)
