Add mint file about mint HOT 11 CLOSED

bootstrap is a valid name for that I guess

from mint.

Ok cool. I'm happy to release this now, and we can add mint bootstrap later.
By the way I added support for specifying just the repo name now in the Mintfile lookup

mint run yonaskolb/xcodegen // from mintfile
mint run xcodegen // also from mintfile

from mint.

What could this look like?

• Search in the current path and all parents for a file named .mint-versions
• if found, exactly match the package (the first parameter after mint run) if no version is specified

When run:

• look in mint file if a version is specified and take it, otherwise take empty version

File Format (json, as foundation can handle it):

[ 
 {package: "yonaskolb/Mint", version: "0.0.1"},
 {package: "https://github.com/krzysztofzablocki/Sourcery", version: "0.10.1"}
]

from mint.

@yonaskolb should I have a look at implementing this or do you?

Hi @Lutzifer
I imagined it as a Mint file that is just a plain text file with each package listed on a newline in a format that's the same as the package argument. Similar to a Carthage Cartfile

yonaskolb/[email protected]
realm/[email protected]

I didn't think it would search recursively, but just look in the current directory.

I was also considering having a mint install that would install the current package if there was a Package.swift. This would conflict, so this could maybe be mint bootstrap?

If you'd like to create a PR that would be great!

Also if someone were to run mint run package without a version, we could look for this file in that directory and use the version specified there

yes, as defined above

@yonaskolb we can close this 😃 (unless there are still features missing)

from mint.

We'd still need the mint install feature to install all packages in the mint file. Though as mentioned before, because I'd like to in the future also add installing the current directory's package if you're in one, we might use mint install for that instead. The mint file command could then be mint bootstrap instead. What do you think of the names?

Mintfile is now released in 0.9.0, and boostrap issue moved to #76
