Carthage: Specify cache directory option

[ekimia]

Especially for use with CI, having a central location for cached frameworks (ideally with some sort of expiry) would be amazing.

• carthage version:
• xcodebuild -version:
• Are you using --no-build?
• Are you using --no-use-binaries?
• Are you using --use-submodules?
• Are you using --cache-builds?

Cartfile

<YOUR CARTFILE>

@ekimia I made https://github.com/blender/Rome that probably meets your needs.

@blender very cool, what are the main perks of using this vs carthage_cache?

• Cache just what you need
  
  
  
  • Per dependency cache keys derived from Cartfile.resolved instead of caching the entire build folder
  
  
  • Changing one library won't invalidate your cache
  
  
• Cache redundancy
  
  
  
  • local folder
  
  
  • Amazon S3
  
  
• Probe cache for presence of single key
• Blacklist some keys
• Selective Download/Upload
  
  
  
  • 1,2,3... all frameworks
  
  
• Per platform cache
  
  
  
  • iOS, tvOS, MacOS, watchOS
  
  

Cached artifacts

• Frameworks
• dSYMs
• Carthage .version files

and many more features being developed among which

• Current framework upload
• Auto generation of Romefile
• Google Cloud Storage, Azure Storage support

I have in one CI job multiple carthage steps. I would love to be able to do something like:

- export DERIVED_FILE_DIR=$(mktemp -d)
- export CARTHAGE_DERIVED_FILE_DIR=$(mktemp -d)
- export CARTHAGE_CACHE=$(tempdir -d)
- carthage bootstrap --derived-data $CARTHAGE_DERIVED_FILE_DIR --no-use-binaries --platform iOS --cache-builds
- carthage bootstrap --derived-data $CARTHAGE_DERIVED_FILE_DIR --no-use-binaries --platform iOS --cache-builds --project-directory AnotherOne
- carthage bootstrap --derived-data $CARTHAGE_DERIVED_FILE_DIR --no-use-binaries --platform iOS --cache-builds --project-directory ...

I had issues when same job was running in parallel for different branches so i added tempdir for derived data
