Local System Sourcing Type

Sourcing Method Type

To use this method type, simply set Metadata.Type to percisely local-system. This will instruct Monteur to use its internal command checking function for checking the availability of the 3rd-party tool or library.

Note that in certain terminal system (e.g. BASH) that offers aliases, Monteur will not be able to see them as they're specific to that terminal only.

Here is a code snippet of the recipe file:

[Metadata]
...
Type = 'local-system'

Recipe Sourcing Section

This sourcing method employs simple fields in the recipe sourcing section. Generally speaking, you want to define the common command via all-all Monteur Platform ID and then overwrite with the operating system specific data if needed.

Here is the recommended fields in its data structure for effective maintenance and readability usage:

1
2
3

[Sources.all-all]
Format = 'raw'
URL = 'git'

• Sources.{OS}-{ARCH}

  1. COMPULSORY - This setting is used for uniquely grouping and structuring source data between multiple groups of data fields. It is also used for facilitating cross-platform supports like listing all the sources here instead of spinning multiple recipe files.

  2. The Monteur Platform ID for this sourcing data to be effective. Example: [Sources.all-all] and [Sources.linux-amd64].

  3. This field was added since Monteur version v0.0.1.

• Sources.{OS}-{ARCH}.Format

  1. COMPULSORY - It is used to define the target file format.

  2. See Setup Meta Processing for supported algorithms.

  3. This field was added since Monteur version v0.0.1.

• Sources.{OS}-{ARCH}.URL

  1. COMPULSORY - The location or the command of the target.

  2. Variables formatting is available for this field.

  3. This field was added since Monteur version v0.0.1.

User Startup Configurations

This sourcing method complies to the original Setup Meta Processing so nothing special is needed.
