TABS (Tcl Automated Build System) is a tool for building cookfs, mk4 and zip archives. It is loosely based on idea of SDX (Starkit Developer eXtension) and Makefile-like approach. It is mainly used to create starkits, zipkits, starpacks and cookfs-based archives and binaries. Initially it was developed mainly for cookfs, however, all jobs now support all major archive formats used in Tcl world.

Job repack mounts an archive and repacks it under same or different file name. It can be used to optimize an archive - for example removing space occupied by previously removed files.
The following table shows all options accepted by repack job:
| -checkuptodate | false | Whether check if job is up to date should be done; otherwise job is always run |
| -driver | | VFS type to use - supports mk4, zip and cookfs; defaults to input driver if not specified |
| -driveroptions | | Additional options to pass to VFS driver; type dependant |
| -excludedirectories | CVS .svn | List of directories to exclude from including |
| -excludefiles | core | List of filenames to exclude |
| -fail | true | Fail entire build if job fails |
| -file | | File to repack |
| -output | | File to write to; defaults to same as -file if not specified |
| -skiptags | | Currently unused |
To repack an archive:
Repacking an archive or binary
tabs repack -file app.exe
This will repack the archive and keep it under same name, overwriting original archive. It will also retain the head of the archive - for example repacking a tclkit will not break it in any way.
Â
It's also possible to repack an archive as a different driver - for example repack a package from zip to mk4 or cookfs by doing:
Converting to cookfs
tabs repack -file app.zip -driver cookfs -output app.cfs
