Repository Bootstrapper

Bootstrap GIT repo for setting up a Kodi repository

forked from BartOtten with the additions of:

• Ignore .idea, .git and __MACOSX folders in addons' subfolders
• Ignore various files like .gitignore, .gitattributes
• Copy changelogs (& rename to version number), icons, fanarts to your repository
• Changed from deprecated md5 module to hashlib
• Compress zips with deflate method

In summary, it can do the following:

• Create a repository addon which users can install.
• Create the addons.xml and addon.xml.md5 files.
• ZIP-file your addons with version numbers.
• Copy changelogs and rename with version numbers.
• Copy icons & fanarts, if any.

Tested Python versions: 2.7.12+, 3.6.5

How to get started

1. Download the master zip or clone the repo: https://github.com/Twilight0/Repository-Bootstrapper
2. Put your uncompressed addon directories in the root folder OR copy the _tools folder to your directory with uncompressed addons
3. Edit _tools/config.ini
4. The 'url' value in config.ini should be the address to directory at the server where you will place the 'output' directory. If your _tools folder is at mydomain.com/subdir/_tools, the url should be set at mydomain.com/subdir/. By default, the script will use addresses like: mydomain.com/subdir/_repo/addons.xml
5. When using GitHub, please use the 'raw' location (eg. http://raw.githubusercontent.com/[username]/[repository]/)
6. Run _tools/generate_repo.py
