= xadd - tool for adding database items =

'''xadd''' adds platform and application records to the BOINC database. Information is read from an XML file '''project.xml''' in the project's root directory. Run `xadd` from the project root directory, i.e.:

{{{
cd ~/projects/project_name
./bin/xadd
}}}

The contents of '''project.xml''' should look like this:

{{{
  <boinc>
    <app>
        <name>setiathome</name>
        <user_friendly_name>SETI@home</user_friendly_name>
        [ <min_version>N</min_version> ]
        [ <homogeneous_redundancy>0|1</homogeneous_redundancy> ]
        [ <weight>X</weight> ]
        [ <beta>1</beta> ]
    </app>
    ...
    <platform>
        <name>anonymous</name>
        <user_friendly_name>anonymous</user_friendly_name>
    </platform>
    <platform>
        <name>i686-pc-linux-gnu</name>
        <user_friendly_name>Linux/x86</user_friendly_name>
    </platform>
    <platform>
        <name>windows_intelx86</name>
        <user_friendly_name>Windows/x86</user_friendly_name>
    </platform>
    <platform>
        <name>powerpc-apple-darwin</name>
        <user_friendly_name>Mac OS X</user_friendly_name>
    </platform>
    ...
  </boinc>
}}}

`xadd` only adds new entries; entries that conflict with existing entries are ignored.
To modify or remove existing entries, you must edit the database directly with SQL.
To release new '''versions''' of applications already on the database, use [UpdateVersions update_versions].
