Mussels

Added

➕ Added support for extracting `.tar.xz` source archives, in addition to `.tar.gz` and `.zip` archives.

Added

➕ Added the ability to define variables in tools that can be accessed in recipes.

To define variables, add a `variables` list for each platform.

This feature was inspired by a need to make recipes that have strings in them specific to a given tool version. Specifically we'll be using this to define CMake generator names in Visual Studio tool YAML files. The correct generator name for a given Visual Studio version will then be available for use in recipes that use Visual Studio.

Example tool, `visualstudio-2017.yaml`:

yaml
name: visualstudio
version: "2017"
mussels_version: "0.3"
type: tool
platforms:
Windows:
file_checks:
- C:\/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/2017/Professional/VC/Auxiliary/Build/vcvarsall.bat
- C:\/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/2017/Enterprise/VC/Auxiliary/Build/vcvarsall.bat
- C:\/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/2017/Community/VC/Auxiliary/Build/vcvarsall.bat
variables:
cmake_generator: Visual Studio 15 2017


Example recipe, `libz.yaml`:

yaml
name: libz
version: "1.2.11"
url: https://www.zlib.net/zlib-1.2.11.tar.gz
mussels_version: "0.3"

🐛 Fixed a crash caused by a failure to properly decode command output text from some locales to utf8.

➕ Added the Mussels version string to the `msl --help` output.

➕ Added `msl build` options allowing users to customize the work, logs, and downloads directories:
- `-w`, `--work-dir TEXT` Work directory. The default is: ~/.mussels/cache/work
- `-l`, `--log-dir TEXT` Log directory. The default is: ~/.mussels/logs
- `-D`, `--download-dir TEXT` Downloads directory. The default is: ~/.mussels/cache/downloads

🐛 The `msl build -c` shorthand for `--cookbook` was overloaded by the `--clean` (`-c`) shorthand. Because `--cookbook` (`-c` ) is also used elsewhere, the `--clean` option was renamed to `--rebuild` (`-r`).

🐛 Fixed an issue where the list of available tools was being limited based on _all_ recipe tool version requirements rather than just those found in the dependency chain.

➕ Added the `msl build` `--install`/`-i` option, allowing builds to install directly to a directory of the user's choosing.

🌌 The `{install}` build script variable now points to the full install prefix, including the target architecture directory when building with the default install directory (eg: `host`, `x86`, `x64`, etc).

This was necessary in order for the `--install` option to make sense. This also simplifies recipes because they no longer have to specify "`{install}/{target}`" to reference the install directory. This, unfortunately, also makes it a breaking change. All recipes will have to remove the "`/{target}`" to remain compatible.

➕ First release!
