ChannelRepositoryTools

A Sublime Text package for working with channels and repositories. Functionality includes:

  • Testing the default channel
  • Testing a local repository JSON file
  • Testing a remote repository JSON URL
  • Upgrading a local repository JSON file

Installation

Installation is performed via Package Control.

Usage

This package was designed to work with the default Package Control channel. Before using this package, it is necessary to:

  1. Fork https://github.com/wbond/package_control_channel
  2. Clone your fork of package_control_channel using Git
  3. Open package_control_channel in Sublime Text

Testing the Default Channel

Most users will want to open the command palette and type:

ChannelRepositoryTools: Test Default Channel

This will test the channel and the main repository.

Testing the Default Channel with Remote Repositories

If you are working on cleaning up the default channel and making sure everything is in good shape, you‘ll want to run the full test suite on the channel and all remote repositories that are schema_version 2.0 or newer:

ChannelRepositoryTools: Test Default Channel (including Remote Repositories)

Repositories running an older version of the schema will not be tested, but should be upgraded to the newest version by following the instructions in the Upgrading a Repository JSON File section.

Testing a Repository via URL

To test a repository hosted on a publicly-accessible URL, run the command:

ChannelRepositoryTools: Test Remote Repository

You will be prompted to enter the URL of the repository. The JSON file will be downloaded and tested against the test suite.

Testing a Repository via a File

To test a repository JSON file on your machine, open it in Sublime Text and run the command:

ChannelRepositoryTools: Test Local Repository (Current File)

Upgrading a Repository JSON File

If you open a repository JSON file in Sublime Text, you can upgrade it from schema_version 1.0, 1.1 or 1.2 by running the command:

ChannelRepositoryTools: Upgrade Repository Schema (Current File)

This will update the JSON to schema_version 2.0. You may be prompted with some additional information, such as instructions to create a tag via GitHub or BitBucket.

You very likely will also be told that your package information should be moved into the default repository which is part of the default channel. The repository is made up of the JSON files in the /repository/ folder of the package_control_channel.

Most users who has custom packages.json files did so because of limitations to older versions of Package Control. With schema_version 2.0 it is now possible to limit packages to specific operating system and more without maintaining your own packages.json file.

The new method has all details located in the repository, and new releases are created by you making tags in your repository. As long as a tag is in the form MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH (a SemVer verison number), Package Control will automatically find it the next time your repo is crawled. It will then be made available to users.

Whenever possible, please take the time to move your package into the default repository so that the crawler can more efficiently check packages for updates.
