node-libmanta

This repository is part of the Joyent Manta project. For contribution guidelines, issues, and general documentation, visit the main Manta project page.

This repo serves to hold any/all common code that is shared between Manta components. Currently a mahi client, the indexing ring client, and some common utils exist.

Testing

You'll need an existing Manta deployment to run the test suite. You should set the ELECTRIC_MORAY environment variable to the hostname or IP address of an electric-moray instance in your deployment and the MAHI_HOST environment variable to the hostname or IP address of an authcache instance in your deployment. As an example, in a deployment called emy-10 with DNS configured in your development zone, you might set these to:

$ export ELECTRIC_MORAY=electric-moray.emy-10.joyent.us
$ export MAHI_HOST=authcache.emy-10.joyent.us
$ make prepush

Release process

Manta components that use libmanta should use versions tagged in git via:

"libmanta": "git+https://github.com/joyent/node-libmanta.git#v1.2.3"

To release a new libmanta:

1. Make one or more commits that include updating the package.json "version" field.

2. Get that commit approved and integrated via a pull request.

3. Update your local copy and run make cutarelease to git tag and push.

(Note: Some earlier version of libmanta were published to npm. That practice is deprecated for this module because "libmanta" isn't a generally useful module that has a place in the npm registry.
