codearchiver

A simple utility that verifies and archives entire source and build directories, so that that the exact distributable can be re-created at a later time.

The normal usage is to first run

$ codearchiver tag <name> <flavor> <version>

This command generates a unique tag for later codearchiver operations: The tag looks like <name>_<flavor>_<version>_<timestamp>. For example, g2cwinclient_ce_2.0.1_1504464925894. Note that the version should be the published version of the flavor, and not the underlying version of any dependancies. When this command runs, it will verify that the name, flavor, and version submitted are consistent with the version of the code being built.

Once you have a tag, you can then run additional commands, such as

$ codearchiver archive <tag> <dir>

This command will permanently save everything about the current build, including source code, intermediate generated files, and all distributables for later use. During execution, you may be required to gain access to upload to the archives folder: follow the prompts on screen.
