Usage

The utility supports two types of input: a CentOS git repository metadata file or a list of files to upload.

For CentOS repositories workflow will be the following:

1. Install the get_sources.sh script from the centos-git-common repository.
2. Clone a project and download its sources as described on the CentOS Wiki.
3. Run the alma_blob_upload tool (don't forget to replace PROJECT_NAME with an actual project name):

   $ alma_blob_upload.py -i .PROJECT_NAME.metadata
   

Alternatively, you can upload a list of files in the following way:

$ alma_blob_upload.py -f SOURCES/FILE_1 SOURCES/FILE_N

The alma_blob_upload utility can also generate a CentOS-compatible metadata file:

$ alma_blob_upload.py -o .PROJECT_NAME.metadata -f SOURCES/FILE_1 SOURCES/FILE_N
