sprinter 0.8.0

a utility library to help environment bootstrapping scripts

Installation

It’s recommended to use Sprinter’s standalone installer:

OSX:

$ curl -s https://raw.github.com/toumorokoshi/sprinter/master/scripts/sandbox.sh > /tmp/sprinter; bash /tmp/sprinter

Debian-Based (e.g. Ubuntu):

$ cd /tmp/; rm sandbox.sh; wget https://raw.github.com/toumorokoshi/sprinter/master/scripts/sandbox.sh -O sandbox.sh; bash sandbox.sh

You can also install sprinter using easy_install or pip (not recommended, it’s easier to update with the standalone):

$ (sudo) easy_install http://github.com/toumorokoshi/sprinter/tarball/master

$ (sudo) pip install http://github.com/toumorokoshi/sprinter/tarball/master

What is it?

A cross-platform environment bootstrapping framework!

Sprinter is a framework designed to making bootstrapping development environments easier. There are three main components to a usable sprinter environment:

• This python egg, to fully utilize the framework

• a sprinter.cfg file, which contains the configuration necessary to install features

• sprinter formulas, which each feature uses as it’s instruction manual on how to setup, update, and remove itself

$ sprinter install ENVIRONMENT.cfg
$ sprinter install http://myenvironment.cfg

Install the environment specified in the environment.cfg file. It will update an environment if it already exists.:

$ sprinter update MY_ENVIRONMENT

Activate MY_ENVIRONMENT:

$ sprinter activate MY_ENVIRONMENT
