Description:

starz 0.2.11

starz
Sized Tape ARchiveZ
















This small command line tool creates sized (gzipped) tar files from either a (gzipped) tar or a directory.
The 'raison d'être' of this tool is because GitHub Packages limits the layer size of a docker container to 5GB.
This poses a problem when one needs to install huge tarballs (eg: PetaLinux, vivado, ...)
The Unix split command will not do as each resulting 'split' is not individual un-tar-able, and after a cat of the individual parts, we violate the 5GB layer constraint again.

Usage
me@mybox$ starz --help
usage: starz [-h] -s SIZE [-c] [-q] [-v] SOURCE [DESTINATION]

Pack a directory or re-pack a .tag(.gz) file in smaller .tar(.gz) chunks.

positional arguments:
SOURCE path to either a .tar(.gz) file or a directory
DESTINATION destination directory (default is current working
directory)

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-s SIZE, --size SIZE maximum size (eg. 5GB or 3.14MB)
-c, --compress compress (gzip) the resulting .tar files into .tar.gz
-q, --quiet surpress the progress bar
-v, --version print the version number
me@mybox$

re-packing a big gzipped-tar file in smaller non-compressed tar files :
me@mybox$ starz -s 15MB brol.tar.gz

same as above, but not outputting progress bar :
me@mybox$ starz -q -c -s 15MB brol.tar.gz
me@mybox$

packing the ./brol directory (recursively) in compressed-tar files with less than 15MB of content each:
me@mybox$ starz -c -s 15MB ./brol
