Robert Knight 9d088dff86 Robustness improvements to the package generator 
* Abort if running the zip tool fails
 * Abort if multiple file path rules match a given file
 * Remove part of the special updater binary handling - this needs to be reworked
 * Sort the file paths before feeding them to the zip tool, so that multiple runs with
   with the same set of files will generate the same packages

README 

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.
