In our effort to move to a new release process I tried out goreleaser, which works quite well. We can build packages (incl. meta packages like dnst-ldnsutils), cross-compile for different architectures (limited to this list, but includes the usual targets and covers our needs), sign using gpg (which also allows us to use smart cards for signing).
Here is a successful attempt of using Goreleaser to create packages for dnst (and dnst-ldnsutils).
The
pkg/generate-man-pages.shscript usesuvto setup the python environment quickly and builds the man pages for packaging.Run goreleaser:
goreleaser release --clean --snapshot(optionally with--verbose)For testing a release locally (without the requirement for the current commit to be tagged and a clean worktree) you can use the
--snapshotflag for goreleaser.Files generated by goreleaser (without
--snapshot, with--snapshotwould insertSNAPSHOT-commitinto the version):Docker images would be automatically published, but as I'm only testing, they
get added to my docker image store:
Notable differences:
Dependencies:
With Goreleaser we have to specify the dependencies manually.
cargo-generate-rpmgenerates them automatically using/usr/lib/rpm/find-requires, which usesrpmdepsand its internal dependency generator.cargo-debgenerates them usingdpkg-shlibdeps.Dependencies generated vs manual
