Quirk

Hi, everyone. Since the Qpid 0.28 release, I've been using a particular
tool to generate and test releases. Here's my previous post on the topic:

http://qpid.2158936.n2.nabble.com/Qpid-dist-tool-td7605197.html

Besides renaming the tool to "quirk", I've now extended it for developer
use cases. If you want to develop your own component against an unreleased
version of a Qpid module, this tool aims to help you get up and running
quickly.

On Fedora 19 or newer, this should get you started:

# One time setup #
% rpm -ivh
http://people.apache.org/~jross/magnum/noarch/magnum-release-1-1.noarch.rpm
% sudo yum install quirk

# Operation #
% quirk install --module dispatch
% source <(quirk env)
% qdrouterd

The '--module' argument limits the scope of quirk's work. Without it,
quirk carries out the given task for every Qpid module. The
quirk-generated install is entirely isolated under $HOME/.quirk/output.
The line "source <(quirk env)" modifies your current shell environment to
use the new install tree.

If you'd prefer to have it install to a location that is already in your
search paths, use --prefix:

% quirk install --prefix $HOME/.local

Yum repo and release rpm:
http://people.apache.org/~jross/magnum/

http://people.apache.org/~jross/magnum/noarch/magnum-release-1-1.noarch.rpm

Please give it a try and tell me if it works for you.

Thanks!
