$ sudo dnf install python3 python3-boto3

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
```
