This directory contains a set of tools for preparing auto-updates.
* create-packages.rb
Given a directory containing the set of files that make up a release,
laid out as they are when installed and a JSON package config file,
this tool generates a set of packages for the release
and a file_list.xml listing all the files that make up the release.
* config-template.json
This is a template for the config file that specifies:
- How to partition the files that make up an installed application
into packages.
- The path of the main binary to run after the update completes
- The name of the updater binary to download as part of the update
This is the simplest possible package configuration, where all files for
a release are placed in a single package. This means that the whole
package will need to be downloaded to install the update.
