Creates a manifest file for remotes that is compliant with v1.1.0 of the Unicornpkg specification.
Clone the repository, install cjson and luafilesystem through LuaRocks.
Assuming you have a package remote somewhere on your machine:
REMOTE_LOCATION=../unicornpkg-main # or some other location, absolute or relative
lua manifesttool.lua $REMOTE_LOCATION > unicornpkg.remote.json
Here's a diff-friendly version, helped along by jq. This ensures diffs are minimal by expanding it to use newlines, as well as sorting keys.
This likely has a large impact when repositories grow to a large size.
REMOTE_LOCATION=../unicornpkg-main # or some other location, absolute or relative
lua manifesttool.lua $REMOTE_LOCATION | jq --sort-keys > unicornpkg.remote.json
