Umpire 0.6.0

Generic dependency resolver.

Umpire: A Dependency Manager

Umpire is a Python-based generic dependency resolver which aims to be platform agnostic, extensible, and simple to use.

Umpire was developed as an easy to install command line tool, with it's flexibility being derived from the JSON file options.

Umpire reads a JSON file to retrieve, cache, and link files to their appropriate destination from an Amazon S3 backed repository of compressed packages.

Installation

Umpire requires Python 2.7.15.

Umpire is available as a pip package.

To install Umpire:

1. Download get-pip.py from PyPA.

$ curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py

2. Run the Python script to complete the install.

$ python get-pip.py

3. Use pip to install Umpire.

$ pip install umpire

Examples

Below is an example deployment JSON file. The URL is composed of the identifier (s3://) and the bucket name. When using an authenticated bucket, the user must have either the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY variables set or a properly configured credentials file for your platform.

The items array contains the list of dependencies. Each one requires a platform, name and version. In the s3 bucket they need to be stored with the prefix: $PLATFORM/$NAME/$VERSION. Umpire does a case insensitive match against this naming convention to find the appropriate dependency. It will download all files matching the prefix in the bucket, and will attempt to unpack them for future deployment.

There's also a couple of other options that you can specify. They are:

link: [true/false] -- Specifies whether Umpire should link the dependency files to the destination or copy them. Default true.

keep_updated: [true/false] -- Specifies whether Umpire should check with the remote S3 bucket when run to see if the dependency has been changed. Default false.
