I'm trying to write a tupfile in lua that will zip the contents of a
directory including all subfolders and their contents. Here's my folder
structure:
* root/
* .tup/
* out/
* data.zip
* data/
* scripts/
* script_a.lua
* script_b.lua
* resources/
* cool_pic.jpg
* reaction.gif
* tfm.pdf
* Tupfile.lua
* Tuprules.lua
The desired result is to zip the contents of "data" to "out/data.zip."
If I generate "data/Tupfile.lua" to contain a table of the subdirectories,
I'm able to produce the desired output, but that requires too much external
management if the directory structure changes.
My next thought was to add "data/Tupdefault.lua" to crawl the
subdirectories and add the contents to a global group that could be
referenced in a "root/Tupfile.lua" that would create output files based on
the name of the groups.
I think `tup.nodevariable()` will give me what I need, but I can't seem to
find a way to share the variable with another script.
Can someone provide some insight into how to share variables in lua files
or some other way to group multiple files from multiple directories into a
single output?
