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.

1. Install Docker

   $ curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
   $ sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable"
   $ sudo apt-get update
   $ sudo apt-get install -y docker-ce
   

2. Build source tarball

   $ ./build.sh
   

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

   $ ELECBUILD_COMMIT=HEAD ELECBUILD_NOCACHE=1 ./build.sh
   

3. The generated distributables are in ./dist.
