baseline-builder 1.0.0

Module for generating Baseline packages for deployment

Baseline Builder

Python-based tooling for generating Baseline packages, with the goal of streamlining package deployment for multiple clients. Designed for easier CI/CD integration with Python 3.6+.

---

Features implemented:

• Resolves local files such as scripts, packages and images to Baseline packaging
  • Scans in same directory as invocation script
• Calculates MD5 for scripts and packages
• Determines Team ID for local packages

Logic

Baseline Builder works by taking config files for Baseline, and generating a package for deployment. If scripts, packages or images are declared in the file, Baseline Builder will attempt to resolve them and embed inside the package.

• See Baseline's documentation on how to configure: Baseline Wiki

Example configuration can be found in the Samples directory. Below is pulled from RIPEDA Engineering configuration:

<key>Packages</key>
<array>
  <dict>
    <key>DisplayName</key>
    <string>Printer</string>
    <key>PackagePath</key>
    <string>/usr/local/Baseline/Packages/Printer.pkg</string>
    <key>Icon</key>
    <string>/usr/local/Baseline/Icons/Scripts-Printer.png</string>
  </dict>
</array>

The project will attempt to resolve the PackagePath and Icon keys through scanning the local directory:

Baseline Builder Directory:
- client.plist
- Packages:
  - Printer.pkg
- Icons:
  - Scripts-Printer.png

Installation

pip3 install baseline-builder

Usage

import baseline

baseline_obj = baseline.BaselineBuilder("ripeda.plist", "com.ripeda.baseline.engineering", "1.0.0")
baseline_obj.build()
