This repository is part of the Joyent Manta project. For contribution guidelines, issues, and general documentation, visit the main Manta project page.

This repo serves to hold any/all common code that is shared between Manta components. Currently a mahi client, the indexing ring client, and some common utils exist.

You'll need an existing Manta deployment to run the test suite. You should set the ELECTRIC_MORAY environment variable to the hostname or IP address of an electric-moray instance in your deployment and the MAHI_HOST environment variable to the hostname or IP address of an authcache instance in your deployment. As an example, in a deployment called emy-10 with DNS configured in your development zone, you might set these to:

$ export ELECTRIC_MORAY=electric-moray.emy-10.joyent.us
$ export MAHI_HOST=authcache.emy-10.joyent.us
$ make prepush

Manta components that use libmanta should use versions published to npm. To release a new libmanta:

1. Make a commit to set the intended version in "package.json#version".

2. Get that commit approved and merged via https://cr.joyent.us, as with all commits to this repo. See the discussion of contribution at the top of this readme.

3. Once that is merged and you've updated your local copy, run:

   make cutarelease
   

   This will ensure a clean working copy, git tag, and npm publish.
