# Sparkler

A [Sparkle][] backend that lives inside [CouchDB][].

[sparkle]: http://sparkle.andymatuschak.org/

[CouchDB]: http://couchdb.apache.org/

## What is this for?

If you have a Mac OS X application are a tad annoyed at managing your AppCast

Spakler is for you.

## Setup

Requires [CouchApp][] and CouchDB. A good way to get a hosted CouchDB instance

is , but this will run in any custom CouchDB 0.11

or 1.0 or later.

    $ sudo easy_install -U couchapp

[CouchApp]: http://github.com/couchapp/couchapp

Quickstart:

    $ git clone git://github.com/janl/sparkler.git

    $ cd sparkler

    $ couchapp init

    # edit / update _docs/

    $ couchapp push . http://url-to-your-couchdb/database

Set `SUFeedUrl` in your `Info.plist` to `https://yourhost/yourdatabase/_design/appcast/_rewrite/cast`

## Publish an Update

Edit/create `_docs/`:

 - `_attachments` includes `YourApp.zip`.

 - `_id` includes your version number.

 - `description.html` includes your release notes.

 - `pubDate.txt` incudes your publication date.

 - `title` includes your release title

   (TODO, find what `title` is good for, it is in the Sparkle docs but not

   anywhere in the UI)

Publish:

    $ couchapp push . http://url-to-your-couchdb/database
