Here’s what I have working from my little Ant deployment script:

<target name="build-basex-zip-package" depends="init, clean"
    description="Prepares the files for the BaseX now-xquery repo Zip module package"
>
<mkdir dir="${basex.zip.package.dir}/com/servicenow/xquery/module"/>

<!-- The BaseX convention is that the package namespace URI is translated to a directory path,
         i.e., com/servicenow/xquery/module/ that then contains the module file.
      -->
<copy todir="${basex.zip.package.dir}/com/servicenow/xquery/module">
<fileset dir="${xquery.src}/modules">
<include name="*"/>
</fileset>
</copy>
</target>

<target name="package-basex-zip-package" depends="build-basex-zip-package"
description="Packages the now-xquery package as Zip file"
>
<zip basedir="${basex.zip.package.dir}"
destfile="${target.dir}/${basex.zip.package.name}.zip"
>
<include name="**/*"/>
</zip>
</target>

<target name="deploy-now-modules-to-basex" depends="package-basex-zip-package"
description="Deploys the now-xquery module package to the BaseX repo directory"
>
<exec executable="${basex.command}" >
<arg value="-c"/>
<arg value="xquery archive:extract-to(db:option('repopath'), fetch:binary('${target.dir}/${basex.zip.package.name}.zip'))"/>
</exec>
<exec executable="${basex.command}" >
<arg value="-c"/>
<arg value="repo list"/>
</exec>

</target>

I’m making a Zip file to allow for a future where the Zip file is fetched from somewhere else but for now the source is on the same server as BaseX so I just deploy from there. Easy peasy.

Ideally I’d be doing this via Maven but I haven’t quite gotten there yet.

Cheers,

E.

True! I overlooked that one. With the repo:install, it can optionally
be combined with a FLWOR expression.
