# almalinux-git-utils
Utilities for working with the AlmaLinux OS Git server.
## alma_blob_upload
The `alma_blob_upload` script uploads sources and BLOBs to the AlmaLinux
sources cache.
### Prerequirements
Install the `python3-boto3` package:
```shell
# RPM-based distributions. On EL8 derivatives the package is available from EPEL.
$ sudo dnf install python3 python3-boto3
# Debian-based distributions
$ sudo apt install python3-boto3
```
Create an AWS credentials file ~/.aws/credentials with the following content:
```ini
[default]
aws_access_key_id = YOUR_ACCESS_KEY
aws_secret_access_key = YOUR_SECRET_KEY
```
### 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](https://git.centos.org/centos-git-common) repository.
2. Clone a project and download its sources as described on the CentOS
[Wiki](https://wiki.centos.org/Sources).
3. Run the `alma_blob_upload` tool (don't forget to replace `PROJECT_NAME` with
an actual project name):
```shell
$ alma_blob_upload.py -i .PROJECT_NAME.metadata
```
Alternatively, you can upload a list of files in the following way:
```shell
$ 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
```
