# What is a Pantry?
|
||
|
||
Pantries provide consistent metadata about open source packages. This
|
||
metadata shouldn’t require manual collection, but at this current state in
|
||
open source it does.
|
||
|
||
It is collected and duplicated thousands of times. A huge waste of effort.
|
||
|
||
tea aims to eradicate this wasted effort, though unfortunately, the journey
|
||
there will require—to some extent—doing that duplication one more time.
|
||
|
||
## Doing it a Little Better This Time
|
||
|
||
Our format is YAML, which is at least non-proprietary and could be used by
|
||
other tools without an independent parser. And we’re pulling in data from
|
||
other sources as much as possible, eg. versions are taken from the
|
||
“source” whenever possible.

# Contributing

Assuming you have tea (/w magic) installed:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
$ git clone https://github.com/teaxyz/pantry
|
||
|
||
$ cd pantry
|
||
# all the following commands operate in `./tea.out`
|
||
# your tea installation remains untouched
|
||
|
||
$ pkg init
|
||
# ^^ creates a “wip” package.yml
|
||
# ^^ if you already know the name, you can pass it as an argument
|
||
|
||
$ pkg edit
|
||
# ^^ opens the new package.yml in your EDITOR
|
||
|
||
$ pkg build
|
||
# ^^ needs a zero permissions GITHUB_TOKEN to use the GitHub API
|
||
# either set `GITHUB_TOKEN` or run `gh auth login`
|
||
|
||
$ pkg test
|
||
# ^^ you need to write a test that verifies the package works
|
||
|
||
$ gh repo fork
|
||
$ git branch -m my-new-package
|
||
$ git push origin my-new-package
|
||
$ gh pr create
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
> * `pkg` can be run without magic via `tea -E pkg` (this dev-env provides `+tea.xyz/brewkit`).
|
||
> * `gh` can be run without magic via `tea gh`.
|
||
> * `git` can be run without magic via `tea git`.
|
||
> * `pkg build` and `pkg test` take a `-L` flag to run in a Linux Docker container
|
||
> * All commands take an optional pkg-spec eg. `pkg build zlib.net^1.1`
|
||
|
||
While inside a pantry dev-env you can run commands from any built packages
|
||
provided you specified their `provides:` key.
|
||
|
||
## Packaging Guide
|
||
|
||
Packaging can be cumbersome.
|
||
Our [wiki] is our packaging knowledge base.
|
||
For other assistance, start a [discussion].
|
||
|
||
## After Your Contribution
|
||
|
||
We build “bottles” (tar’d binaries) and upload them to both our centralized
|
||
bottle storage and decentralized [IPFS].
|
||
|
||
tea automatically builds new releases of packages *as soon as they are
|
||
released* (usually starting the builds within seconds). There is no need to
|
||
submit PRs for updates.
|
||
|
||
## Working on Other People’s Pull Requests
|
||
|
||
Packaging can be fiddly so we all pitch in. If you want to help someone else
|
||
with their pull request then you can use GitHub’s CLI:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
$ gh pr checkout 123
|
||
|
||
# or you can copy paste the URL:
|
||
$ gh pr checkout https://github.com/teaxyz/pantry/pull/123
|
||
|
||
# then open for editing:
|
||
$ pkg edit
|
||
```
