Using the Command Line to create WAPT packages

wapt-get make-template

The wapt-get make-template <msi or exe file> <package name> command allows to create a package template from a MSI or an EXE installer.

You will find the complete procedure for creating WAPT packages.

Hint

  • If you have previously installed tis-waptdev package on your development computer, PyScripter editor will launch automatically and open the package in development mode.

The command wapt-get make-template C:\\Users\\User\\Downloads\\tightvnc-2.8.5-gpl-setup-64bit.msi tis-tightvnc returns:

Template created. You can build the WAPT package by launching
  C:\Program Files (x86)\wapt\wapt-get.exe build-package C:\waptdev\tis-tightvnc-wapt
You can build and upload the WAPT package by launching
  C:\Program Files (x86)\wapt\wapt-get.exe build-upload C:\waptdev\tis-tightvnc-wapt

wapt-get make-host-template

The wapt-get make-host-template <host FQDN> command creates an empty WAPT host package from a template.

The command wapt-get make-host-template host01.mydomain.lan returns:

Template created. You can build the WAPT package by launching
  C:\Program Files (x86)\wapt\wapt-get.exe build-package C:\waptdev\host01.mydomain.lan-wapt
You can build and upload the WAPT package by launching
  C:\Program Files (x86)\wapt\wapt-get.exe build-upload C:\waptdev\host01.mydomain.lan-wapt

wapt-get make-group-template

The wapt-get make-group-template <name of group> command creates an empty WAPT group package from a template.

The command wapt-get make-group-template accounting returns:

Template created. You can build the WAPT package by launching
  C:\Program Files (x86)\wapt\wapt-get.exe build-package C:\waptdev\accounting-wapt
You can build and upload the WAPT package by launching
  C:\Program Files (x86)\wapt\wapt-get.exe build-upload C:\waptdev\accounting-wapt

wapt-get list-registry

The wapt-get list-registry <keyword> command lookups a keyword in software installed by WAPT on the computer.

The output of list-registry is a table listing uninstall keys for each software corresponding to the search term.

The command wapt-get list-registry firefox returns:

UninstallKey                           Software                               Version             Uninstallstring

wapt-get build-package

The wapt-get build-package <path to the package> command builds a WAPT package and signs it with the private key of the Administrator.

Note

The path to the private key, the default prefix and the default development path must be properly set in the wapt-get.ini file.

The command wapt-get sources tis-firefox returns: :

wapt-get sign-package

The wapt-get sign-package <path to the package> command signs a package with the private key of the Administrator.

Attention

sign-package does not rename the WAPT package with the chosen prefix of the Organization.

The command wapt-get sign-package C:\\waptdev\\smp-7zip_16.4.0.0-1_all.wapt returns:

wapt-get build-upload

The wapt-get build-upload <path to the package> command builds and uploads a WAPT package onto the main WAPT repository.

Hint

By passing the -i argument to build-upload, the WAPT packaging version number is incremented before upload, so to avoid having to modify manually the control file.

The command wapt-get -i build-upload C:\\waptdev\\tis-tightvnc-wapt returns:
