ark_dsl.rb

build "collectd"
  ark do
    url "http://..."
    checksum "asdfads"
  end
  configure do  # creates defaults to "config.status"
    flags [ "--enable-python", "--enable-jvm" ]
    prefix "/opt"
  end
  make do
    flags [ "OS=linux" ]
    creates 'bin/collectd'
  end
  make "install" { creates "/usr/bin/collect" }
end

# python example

build "carbon"
  ark do
    url "http://"
    checksum "asdfas080998"
    version "3.1"
  end
  python do
    setup_py [ "build", "install" ]
    creates "/usr/sbin/carbon-cache"
  end
end

# ant example

build "zookeeper" do
  ark do
    url 'http://....'
    checksum 'asdf09808'
    version "1.0"
  ant do
    flags [ "-DSuperFunkyJVMOption=99m"]
