Incorporating version control into packaging
Methods, systems, and computer program products are included for incorporating functionalities of a version control system into a package manager. An example method includes providing to a package manager a source file path corresponding to a source. A software version control system corresponding to the source is determined from the source file path. A command translation driver corresponding to the software version control system of the source is loaded by the package manager. The loaded command translation driver translates a package manager command to a corresponding command of the software version control system. The translated package manager command is executed by the package manager.
1. A method comprising:
providing, to a package manager, a source file path corresponding to a source;
identifying by the package manager, from an alphanumeric value representing the source file path, a software version control system corresponding to the source;
loading, by the package manager, a command translation driver corresponding to the software version control system of the source;
translating, by the loaded command translation driver, a native package manager command to a corresponding command of the software version control system, wherein the native package manager command is provided via a command line interface; and
executing, by the package manager, the translated package manager command.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining from the source file path that the source is a remote source, and wherein the translating is responsive to the determining from the source file path that the source is a remote source.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the package manager command includes a command to retrieve the remote source and the corresponding command includes a command to clone or check out the remote source.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the translating includes using a pre-configured mapping of the command to the corresponding command.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the translating includes an ad-hoc translation of the command to the corresponding command.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the package manager command includes a command to retrieve version control information corresponding to the source.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising building, by the package manager, a package including the source.
8. A non-transitory machine-readable medium having stored thereon machine-readable instructions executable to cause at least one machine to perform operations comprising:
providing, to a package manager, a source file path corresponding to a source;
identifying by the package manager, from an alphanumeric value representing the source file path, a software version control system corresponding to the source;
loading, by the package manager, a command translation driver corresponding to the software version control system of the source;
translating, by the loaded command translation driver, a native package manager command to a corresponding command of the software version control system, wherein the native package manager command is provided via a command line interface; and
executing, by the package manager, the translated package manager command.
9. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 8 , further comprising determining from the source file path that the source is a remote source, and wherein the translating is responsive to the determining from the source file path that the source is a remote source.
10. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the package manager command includes a command to retrieve the remote source and the corresponding command includes a command to clone or check out the remote source.
11. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the translating includes using a pre-configured mapping of the command to the corresponding command.
12. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the translating includes an ad-hoc translation of the command to the corresponding command.
13. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the package manager command includes a command to retrieve version control information corresponding to the source.
14. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 8 , further comprising building, by the package manager, a package including the source.
15. A system comprising:
a non-transitory memory; and
one or more hardware processors coupled to the non-transitory memory to execute instructions from the non-transitory memory to perform operations comprising:
providing, to a package manager, a source file path corresponding to a source;
identifying, by the package manager, from an alphanumeric value representing the source file path, a software version control system corresponding to the source;
loading, by the package manager, a command translation driver corresponding to the software version control system of the source;
translating, by the loaded command translation driver, a native package manager command to a corresponding command of the software version control system, wherein the native package manager command is provided via a command line interface; and
executing, by the package manager, the translated package manager command.
16. The system of claim 15 , further comprising determining from the source file path that the source is a remote source, and wherein the translating is responsive to the determining from the source file path that the source is a remote source.
17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the package manager command includes a command to retrieve the remote source and the corresponding command includes a command to clone or check out the remote source.
18. The system of claim 15 , wherein the translating includes using a pre-configured mapping of the command to the corresponding command.
19. The system of claim 15 , wherein the translating includes an ad-hoc translation of the command to the corresponding command.
20. The system of claim 15 , wherein the package manager command includes a command to retrieve version control information corresponding to the source.
