=Bugs=
https://github.com/spring/pr-downloader/issues

=Compile=
to compile it on ubuntu:
<pre>
git clone https://github.com/spring/pr-downloader.git --recursive
sudo apt-get install liblua5.1-0-dev libzip-dev zlib1g-dev cmake libssl-dev
cmake .
make
</pre>

Additional setup instructions: https://springrts.com/wiki/Admin:Rapid

=Tool description=
==AddZip==

takes a .zip and adds it to the repo with user specified tags:

Usage:
<pre>
AddZip <Store Path> <Zip Path> [Tag1] ...
</pre>

==BuildGit==

adds a git path to the repo and generates the tags automatically from the commit message, it also optimizes for incremental updates

Usage:
<pre>
BuildGit <Git Path> <Mod Root> <Modinfo> <Store Path> <Git Hash> <Prefix>
</pre>

==Streamer==

is a cgi program to serve some specific files of a .sdp. This is the fastest and official way to fetch a rapid archive.

at client side you have to http POST:
http://packages.springrts.com/streamer.cgi?<hash of sdp>

post data is binary 0/1 if a file of the specified sdp is needed or not.

streamer.cgi then returns all files in a single stream in the same order than in the sdp. it has to be in the root of a [[rapid]] file structure.

<pre>
Usage: ./Streamer
Expects environment variables DOCUMENT_ROOT and QUERY_STRING
Expects a gziped bitarray as stdin
</pre>

for details see the source-code:
https://github.com/spring/pr-downloader/blob/master/src/Streamer.cpp#L94

==MakeZip==

can create a zip from a .sdp

<pre>
MakeZip ~/.spring ba:stable ba.zip
</pre>

===Notes===

If you get this error:
<pre>
Error on unknown tag lookup
</pre>

MakeZip doesn't find the tag specified in (for example) ~/.spring/versions.gz. To fix, copy the required versions.gz:

<pre>
cp ~/.spring/rapid/packages.springrts.com/versions.gz ~/.spring/
</pre>
