build

Build scripts for football.db, worldcup.db, bundesliga.db, etc.

Usage

Use rake -T to list all available tasks. Example:

$ rake -T

will print something like:

rake about     # print versions of gems
rake book      # build book (draft version) - The Free Football World Almanac
rake build     # build football.db from scratch (default)
rake check     # check repo paths
rake publish   # build book (release version) - The Free Football World Almanac
rake pull      # pull (auto-update) football.db from upstream sources
rake stats     # print stats for football.db tables/records
rake update    # update football.db

To get started use the following folder structure and clone some datasets with git. Example:

openmundi/               #  -> create folder (e.g. mkdir openmundi)
  world.db               #  -> git clone (see github.com/openmundi)
openfootball/            #  -> create folder
  build                  #  -> git clone
  national-teams         #     ..
  world-cup              #     ..

Start your build (e.g. rake build) inside the openfootball/build folder.

Note: You can see (and change) all folder references in the settings.rb script.

More Examples

Build the database for the World Cup in Brazil 2014 (from scratch):

rake build DATA=worldcup2014

Build the database for all the World Cups:

rake build DATA=worldcup

Build the database for the European Champions League 2013/14:

rake build DATA=cl201314

Update the database for the European Champions League 2013/14 (after updating your data sets from git):

rake update DATA=cl201314

And so on and so forth.
