Version 0.0.2 Released!
In the spirit of "release early, release often," Neptune version 0.0.2 has been released! This release adds compilation support, so now you can specify a directory containing a Makefile, and Neptune will copy that directory over to an AppScale node, compile it, and copy it back to a specified folder on your computer. Here's a code snippet:
result = job "compile" do
@code = "ring"
@output = "/baz"
@copy_to = "ring-compiled"
end
puts "out = #{result[:out]}"
puts "err = #{result[:err]}"So here we have our code in a folder named "ring", would like it to be compiled, and have the result placed in a folder named "ring-compiled". The output parameter doesn't do anything right now, but an upcoming release will optionally store it in the underlying database in AppScale so that you won't be required to keep a copy of it on your computer at all times. Check it out and let us know what you think!
