Simple-dependency-manager allows you to speify a list of modules that are dependency of your software projects. These modules are stored in a Depfile that allows you to specify what to install (via a git repo and revision) and where it should be installed.

It is intended to be tooling agnostic, and can be used to install anything.

This project has a few commands that can be executed across your list of modules:

Iterates through your Depfile and installs git sources. At the moment the supported options are:

• --verbose display progress messages
• --clean remove the directory before installing modules
• --path override the default ./modules where modules will be installed
• --depfile override the default ./Depfile used to find the modules

  simple-dependency-manager install [--verbose] [--clean] [--path] [--depfile]

Iterates through your depfile and updates git sources. If a SHA-1 hash is specified in the :ref, the module will not be updated.

Supported options are:

  simple-dependency-manager update [--verbose] [--path] [--depfile]

Remove the directory where the modules will be installed. At the moment the supported options are:

• --verbose display progress messages
• --path override the default ./modules where modules will be installed

  simple-dependency-manager clean [--verbose] [--path]

The processed Depfile may contain two different types of modules, git and tarball. The git option accepts an optional ref parameter.

The module names can be namespaced, but the created directory will only contain the last part of the name. For example, a module named puppetlabs/ntp will generate a directory ntp, and so will a module simply named ntp.

Here's an example of a valid Depfile showcasing all valid options:

mod "puppetlabs/ntp",
    :git => "git://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-ntp.git",
    :ref => "99bae40f225db0dd052efbf1d4078a21f0333331"

mod "apache",
    :tarball => "https://forge.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs/apache/0.6.0.tar.gz"

Just clone the repo and run the following commands:

bundle exec install --path=vendor
bundle exec rspec

Beware that the functional tests will download files from GitHub and PuppetForge and will break if either is unavailable.
