SYNOPSIS
tbp-initarchive [ options ] archive_name archive_location working_location
DESCRIPTION
tbp-initarchive is designed to set up both the tla archive and the working area for a tla-buildpackage setup. It automatically handles all the tasks relating to running tla and tla-buildpackage
tbp-initarchive will create the tla archive archive_name in archive_location, and check it out into working_location, having initialized that working area for tla-buildpackage. If ~/.tla-buildpackage does not exist, it will be created and the working location will be written into it.
ARGUMENTS
- archive_name
- Gives the tla name of the archive to create. tla must not know anything about it prior to running this command. An example would be [email protected].
- archive_location
- Gives the directory where tla will create its history files. It must not exist prior to running this command.
- working_location
- Gives the directory where you will work with tla-buildpackage on a daily basis.
OPTIONS
- --make-archive-args=ARGUMENTS
- pass ARGUMENTS to tla make-archive. e.g. --signed, to GPG sign the archive contents
- --init-tree-args=ARGUMENTS
- pass ARGUMENTS to tla init-tree. e.g. --nested, if the working directory is in a directory that is already controlled by tla.
- -h, --help
- display the help message and exit.
- -v, --version
- display version info and exit.
