Apr 11, 2023
- Switch to semantic versioning (semver) compatible versioning pattern
- filenames (where applicable)
- embedded version metadata
- Generate RPM/DEB packages using nFPM
- "stable" release packages
- "dev" release packages
- provides binaries with `_dev` suffix in order to more easily
test the impact of new releases
- Add version metadata to Windows executables
- Use `github.com/tc-hib/go-winres` and `winres.json` file to apply
version details to Windows executables provided by this project
- update `.gitignore` to exclude Windows syso files
- these files are produced when running go generate as part of the
build process and should not be retained in version control
- Makefile: Compress binaries and use fixed filenames
- Makefile: Refresh recipes to add "standard" set, new package-related
options
- Build dev/stable releases using go-ci Docker image
- Add Dockerfile to provide "builder" image for Makefile-driven
release builds
- copy project/repo content into container at build time
- explicitly changing owner:group to `builduser`
- explicitly create new `builduser` user and group
- this is explicitly used for Docker-based builds
- set `/builds` as the working directory
- set Git `safe.directory` logic at system level
- Add new `.dockerignore` file to exclude unnecessary items from build
image generation
- Update Dependabot configuration to add update monitoring for
`go-ci-oldstable-build` image
- Update/Add Makefile recipes
- add separate docker/podman variants of container-based project
build recipes
- each uses slightly different logic to achieve rootless container
execution
- new recipes
- `docker-release-build`
- `docker-dev-build`
- `docker-packages`
- `podman-release-build`
- `podman-dev-build`
- `podman-packages`
- explicitly emit the tool used to perform specific tasks
- this can be useful to help explain why a generated builder image
does not appear in the `docker image ls` output as a sysadmin
might expect (if it was instead built with the `docker` command)
- rename/remove the helper build recipe from the `help` recipe
output (not useful to call directly)
- to explicitly run the build container as the `builduser` user that
is created during build image generation when using Docker to
build/run containers (Podman uses different settings)
- to send `xz` compressed output to stdout, then redirect to a
target file
- this works around failures to `chmod` and `chgrp` the compressed
copy of input files when run within a non-root container
- to explicitly bind mount the `release_assets` path into
`/builds/release_assets` (using the same Makefile variable)
read/write (instead of relying on implied read/write access)
- to explicitly use `/builds` as the working directory
- Update README
- note decompression step needed after downloading individual
binaries or building via some Makefile recipes
- note DEB and RPM packages as alternatives to downloading
individual binaries
This collection of changes allows reliably building this project using
either Docker or Podman via a "rootless" container.
