Source tarballs

This file should be reproducible, meaning you should be able to generate distributables that match the official releases.

This assumes an Ubuntu (x86_64) host, but it should not be too hard to adapt to another similar system.

We distribute two tarballs, a "normal" one (the default, recommended for users), and a strictly source-only one (for Linux distro packagers). The normal tarball, in addition to including everything from the source-only one, also includes:

  • compiled (.mo) locale files (in addition to source .po locale files)
  • compiled (_pb2.py) protobuf files (in addition to source .proto files)
  • the packages/ folder containing source-only pure-python runtime dependencies

Build steps

  1. Install Docker

    See contrib/docker_notes.md.

  2. Build tarball

    (set envvar OMIT_UNCLEAN_FILES=1 to build the "source-only" tarball)

    $ ./build.sh
    

    If you want reproducibility, try instead e.g.:

    $ ELECBUILD_COMMIT=HEAD ELECBUILD_NOCACHE=1 ./build.sh
    $ ELECBUILD_COMMIT=HEAD ELECBUILD_NOCACHE=1 OMIT_UNCLEAN_FILES=1 ./build.sh
    
  3. The generated distributables are in ./dist.
