An Artifact Manager for Perforce
A Proof of Concept (PoC) project to explore Artifact managment using the Helix Versioning Engine.
Hive extends regular Perforce depots to store artifacts used for build and deployment. Currently supporting the following types:
Each Artifact repository is backed by a Perforce Depot. There are three types of repositories: Local
, Proxy
and Group
.
A Local
repository is designed to store artifacts created within your organisation. You can add new artifacts to a Local
using the Depoly option.
A Proxy
repository will cache remote Artifact from a 3rd party server (e.g. Maven Central).
A Group
repository is made up of a combination of repositories: Local
, Proxy
and even other Group
repositories. When a build searches for an artifact it will try each repository within the group in the specified order.
All server configuration setting are defined here. The configuration can be applied at build or run time using -Dconfig.file=your_config
.
Hive uses Gradle to build. You will need Java 8 (JDK) and Gradle 2.2.1
gradle clean jar
# Hive *An Artifact Manager for Perforce* A Proof of Concept (PoC) project to explore Artifact managment using the Helix Versioning Engine. ## Overview Hive extends regular Perforce depots to store artifacts used for build and deployment. Currently supporting the following types: * Maven * Ruby Gems (experimental) * Generic (any revision in Perforce) Each Artifact repository is backed by a Perforce Depot. There are three types of repositories: `Local`, `Proxy` and `Group`. ### Local repositories A `Local` repository is designed to store artifacts created within your organisation. You can add new artifacts to a `Local` using the *Depoly* option. ### Proxy repositories A `Proxy` repository will cache remote Artifact from a 3rd party server (e.g. Maven Central). ### Group repositories A `Group` repository is made up of a combination of repositories: `Local`, `Proxy` and even other `Group` repositories. When a build searches for an artifact it will try each repository within the group in the specified order. ## Configuration All server configuration setting are defined [here](https://swarm.workshop.perforce.com/projects/perforce_software-hive/files/main/src/main/resources/config.properties). The configuration can be applied at build or run time using `-Dconfig.file=your_config`. ## Building Hive uses Gradle to build. You will need Java 8 (JDK) and Gradle 2.2.1 gradle clean jar
