manage-pool-style-repo - Manage my pending perl releases
This document describes version 0.001 of manage-pool-style-repo (from Perl distribution App-ManagePoolStyleRepo), released on 2020-04-10.
Pool-style repo can be used to store collections, e.g. movies, songs, books, programs. To create a pool-style repo, first create a directory, e.g. movies along with movies/pool:
movies
movies/pool
% mkdir movies % mkdir movies/pool
Put some items (movies) inside the pool (each item as a directory or a file; but mostly you want to use directory to be able to put tags inside), e.g.:
movies/pool/a wednesday (2008)/ movies/pool/a wednesday (2008)/movie.mp4 movies/pool/a wednesday (2008)/.tag-country-in movies/pool/a wednesday (2008)/.tag-genre-crime movies/pool/a wednesday (2008)/.tag-genre-drama movies/pool/andhadhun (2018)/ movies/pool/andhadhun (2018)/movie.mp4 movies/pool/andhadhun (2018)/movie.srt movies/pool/andhadhun (2018)/.tag-country-in movies/pool/andhadhun (2018)/.tag-genre-crime movies/pool/andhadhun (2018)/.tag-genre-thriller movies/pool/the raid - redemption (2011)/ movies/pool/the raid - redemption (2011)/the-raid.mkv movies/pool/the raid - redemption (2011)/.tag-country-id movies/pool/the raid - redemption (2011)/.tag-genre-action movies/pool/the raid - redemption (2011)/.tag-genre-thriller movies/pool/the swimmer (1968)/ movies/pool/the swimmer (1968)/swimmer.avi movies/pool/the swimmer (1968)/.tag-country-us movies/pool/the swimmer (1968)/.tag-genre-drama movies/pool/to_live_1994.mp4 movies/pool/TS/toy-story.mp4 movies/pool/TS/.tag-country-us movies/pool/TS/.tag-genre-animated movies/pool/TS/.tag-genre-fantasy movies/pool/TS/.title # containing "toy story (1995)" movies/pool/TS2/toy-story2.mp4 movies/pool/TS2/.tag-country-us movies/pool/TS2/.tag-genre-animated movies/pool/TS2/.tag-genre-fantasy movies/pool/TS2/.title # containing "toy story 2 (1999)"
If you want to put items using an intermediate level of subdirectories, you can use pool1/ instead:
pool1/
movies/pool1/a/a wednesday (2008)/... movies/pool1/a/andhadhun (2018)/... movies/pool1/t/the raid - redemption (2011)/ movies/pool1/t/the swimmer (1968)/ movies/pool1/t/to_live_1994.mp4 movies/pool1/t/TS/ movies/pool1/t/TS2/
(the intermediate directories can be anything.)
If you want two levels of intermediate directories, use pool2:
pool2
movies/pool2/a/aw/a wednesday (2008)/... movies/pool2/a/an/andhadhun (2018)/... movies/pool2/t/th/the raid - redemption (2011)/ movies/pool2/t/th/the swimmer (1968)/ movies/pool2/t/to/to_live_1994.mp4 movies/pool2/t/ts/TS/ movies/pool2/t/ts/TS2/
To create index:
% manage-pool-style-repo update-index movies
This will create this directory structure of symlinks:
movies/index/ movies/index/by-tag/ movies/index/by-tag/country/ movies/index/by-tag/country/id/the raid - redemption (2011) -> ../../../../pool/the raid - redemption (2011) movies/index/by-tag/country/in/a wednesday (2008) -> ../../../../pool/a wednesday (2008) movies/index/by-tag/country/in/andhadhun (2018) -> ../../../../pool/andhadhun (2018) movies/index/by-tag/country/us/the swimmer (1968) -> ../../../../pool/the swimmer (1968) movies/index/by-tag/country/us/toy story (1995) -> ../../../../pool/TS movies/index/by-tag/country/us/toy story 2 (1999) -> ../../../../pool/TS2 movies/index/by-tag/genre/ movies/index/by-tag/genre/action/the raid - redemption (2011) -> ../../../../pool/the raid - redemption (2011) movies/index/by-tag/genre/animated/toy story (1995) -> ../../../../pool/TS movies/index/by-tag/genre/animated/toy story 2 (1999) -> ../../../../pool/TS2 movies/index/by-tag/genre/crime/a wednesday (2008) -> ../../../../pool/a wednesday (2008) movies/index/by-tag/genre/crime/andhadhun (2018) -> ../../../../pool/andhadhun (2018) movies/index/by-tag/genre/drama/a wednesday (2008) -> ../../../../pool/a wednesday (2008) movies/index/by-tag/genre/drama/the swimmer (1968) -> ../../../../pool/the swimmer (1968) movies/index/by-tag/genre/fantasy/toy story (1995) -> ../../../../pool/TS movies/index/by-tag/genre/fantasy/toy story 2 (1999) -> ../../../../pool/TS2 movies/index/by-tag/genre/thriller/the raid - redemption (2011) -> ../../../../pool/the raid - redemption (2011) movies/index/by-tag/genre/thriller/andhadhun (2018) -> ../../../../pool/andhadhun (2018) movies/index/by-title/ movies/index/by-title/the raid - redemption (2011) -> ../../pool/the raid - redemption (2011) movies/index/by-title/a wednesday (2008) -> ../../pool/a wednesday (2008) movies/index/by-title/andhadhun (2018) -> ../../pool/andhadhun (2018) movies/index/by-title/the swimmer (1968) -> ../../pool/the swimmer (1968) movies/index/by-title/toy story (1995) -> ../../pool/TS movies/index/by-title/toy story 2 (1999) -> ../../pool/TS2 movies/index/by-title/to_live_1994.mp4 -> ../../pool/to_live_1994.mp4
A "pool-style repo" is a term I coined to refer to a directory structure that contains a collection of items (media files like movies, songs, or books; software, and so on). The items are put in pool/ top-level subdirectory. Each item can be a file or a directory, although to have the benefit of giving tags, you'll need to use a directory.
pool/
If you use pool1/ instead of pool, then the items are expected to be put under a layer of intermediate directory like shown in the example in "SYNOPSIS". And if you use pool2/, the items are expected to be put under two layers of intermediate directories, also shown in the example. You can use one or all of pool, pool1, pool2 to put your items.
pool
pool2/
pool1
This script can then be used to create index directory structure which contains symbolic links to the items. There are index/by-tag, index/by-title. These directory structure can be navigated by any filesystem tool of your choice.
index
index/by-tag
index/by-title
This files organization is inspired from how Debian repository works.
* marks required options.
*
Set path to configuration file.
Can be specified multiple times.
Set configuration profile to use.
Shortcut for --log-level=debug.
Pass options to formatter.
Choose output format, e.g. json, text.
Default value:
undef
Display help message and exit.
Equivalent to --format=json-pretty.
Set log level.
When outputing as JSON, strip result envelope.
0
By default, when outputing as JSON, the full enveloped result is returned, e.g.:
[200,"OK",[1,2,3],{"func.extra"=>4}]
The reason is so you can get the status (1st element), status message (2nd element) as well as result metadata/extra result (4th element) instead of just the result (3rd element). However, sometimes you want just the result, e.g. when you want to pipe the result for more post-processing. In this case you can use `--naked-res` so you just get:
[1,2,3]
Do not use any configuration file.
Do not read environment for default options.
Shortcut for --log-level=error.
List available subcommands.
Shortcut for --log-level=trace.
Shortcut for --log-level=info.
Display program's version and exit.
See --has-tag.
--has-tag
See --lacks-tag.
--lacks-tag
Repo directory.
Search query.
This script has shell tab completion capability with support for several shells.
To activate bash completion for this script, put:
complete -C manage-pool-style-repo manage-pool-style-repo
in your bash startup (e.g. ~/.bashrc). Your next shell session will then recognize tab completion for the command. Or, you can also directly execute the line above in your shell to activate immediately.
It is recommended, however, that you install modules using cpanm-shcompgen which can activate shell completion for scripts immediately.
To activate tcsh completion for this script, put:
complete manage-pool-style-repo 'p/*/`manage-pool-style-repo`/'
in your tcsh startup (e.g. ~/.tcshrc). Your next shell session will then recognize tab completion for the command. Or, you can also directly execute the line above in your shell to activate immediately.
It is also recommended to install shcompgen (see above).
For fish and zsh, install shcompgen as described above.
This script can read configuration files. Configuration files are in the format of IOD, which is basically INI with some extra features.
By default, these names are searched for configuration filenames (can be changed using --config-path): /home/s1/.config/PI0PwIx53Z.conf, /home/s1/PI0PwIx53Z.conf, or /etc/PI0PwIx53Z.conf.
--config-path
All found files will be read and merged.
To disable searching for configuration files, pass --no-config.
--no-config
To put configuration for a certain subcommand only, use a section name like [subcommand=NAME] or [SOMESECTION subcommand=NAME].
[subcommand=NAME]
[SOMESECTION subcommand=NAME]
You can put multiple profiles in a single file by using section names like [profile=SOMENAME] or [SOMESECTION profile=SOMENAME] or [subcommand=SUBCOMMAND_NAME profile=SOMENAME] or [SOMESECTION subcommand=SUBCOMMAND_NAME profile=SOMENAME]. Those sections will only be read if you specify the matching --config-profile SOMENAME.
[profile=SOMENAME]
[SOMESECTION profile=SOMENAME]
[subcommand=SUBCOMMAND_NAME profile=SOMENAME]
[SOMESECTION subcommand=SUBCOMMAND_NAME profile=SOMENAME]
--config-profile SOMENAME
You can also put configuration for multiple programs inside a single file, and use filter program=NAME in section names, e.g. [program=NAME ...] or [SOMESECTION program=NAME]. The section will then only be used when the reading program matches.
program=NAME
[program=NAME ...]
[SOMESECTION program=NAME]
Finally, you can filter a section by environment variable using the filter env=CONDITION in section names. For example if you only want a section to be read if a certain environment variable is true: [env=SOMEVAR ...] or [SOMESECTION env=SOMEVAR ...]. If you only want a section to be read when the value of an environment variable has value equals something: [env=HOSTNAME=blink ...] or [SOMESECTION env=HOSTNAME=blink ...]. If you only want a section to be read when the value of an environment variable does not equal something: [env=HOSTNAME!=blink ...] or [SOMESECTION env=HOSTNAME!=blink ...]. If you only want a section to be read when an environment variable contains something: [env=HOSTNAME*=server ...] or [SOMESECTION env=HOSTNAME*=server ...]. Note that currently due to simplistic parsing, there must not be any whitespace in the value being compared because it marks the beginning of a new section filter or section name.
env=CONDITION
[env=SOMEVAR ...]
[SOMESECTION env=SOMEVAR ...]
[env=HOSTNAME=blink ...]
[SOMESECTION env=HOSTNAME=blink ...]
[env=HOSTNAME!=blink ...]
[SOMESECTION env=HOSTNAME!=blink ...]
[env=HOSTNAME*=server ...]
[SOMESECTION env=HOSTNAME*=server ...]
