Third-party packages managed by DTO Labs

This module automates the process of publishing useful third-party packages that are not available through normal channels.

DTO Labs typically takes on this responsibility for programs and utilities that are need by our projects (e.g. by rerun-moduled or solutions (e.g. Maven and JBoss AS RPMs used by our sample implementations like toolchain-example5).

The module currently only supports publishing Yum-based repositories of RPMs but the plan is to make the packages available in the system formats of as many platforms as possible.

Configuring

The module includes a single configuration file that determines which packages are included in the repositories. e.g:

[anthony@centos63 third-party-packages]$ cat etc/packages 
#
# List of GitHub third-party software repositories packaged and published by DTO Labs.
#
# "owner/repository:package-name:format:distribution,...:architecture,..."
#
dtolabs/pygments-rpm:dtolabs-pygments:rpm:el5,el6:noarch
dtolabs/jq-rpm:dtolabs-jq:rpm:el5,el6:i386,x86_64
dtolabs/discount-rpm:dtolabs-discount:rpm:el5,el6:i386,x86_64
dtolabs/xmlstarlet-rpm:dtolabs-xmlstarlet:rpm:el5,el6:i386,x86_64
dtolabs/jboss-as-rpm:dtolabs-jboss-as:rpm:el5,el6:noarch
dtolabs/apache-maven-rpm:dtolabs-apache-maven:rpm:el5,el6:noarch

The file lists the GitHub repositories of the Rerun package build modules used to build and upload each third-party pacakge. Additional fields supply the package format produced the build module (only rpm packages are currently supported), the list of OS distributions supported and the set of target architectures.
