Packages

Distribution Packages

There are currently no packages for any distributions. Managing distribution packages is a huge effort and there is currently no actual spoken out need for them.

Binary Builds

There are currently no binary releases though this would be possible in principle. We think however that people that request binary builds likely actually want packages.

Source Packages

We do however create source code-based releases. There are two releases:

• A ‘latest’ release that gets build everytime something is checked in into master. ‘latest’ thus represent the latest approved developer snapshot.
• We do make releases if there is a reasonable number of changes that justify other project to integrate the new version. These releases follow the CHRONVER versioning scheme.

The releases are created based on the meson build.

Package Version

In the meson build the checked-in package version is always ‘latest’. The automatic builds will modify this version locally during release building.

The cmake build will be adapted accordingly.

Library version

Independently of the package version the meson build has a library version that uses SEMVER. We currently do not actively manage the semver version, but this is subject to change if required.

Docker Images

See however documentation regarding docker images as a potential way to easily get the code building on your system.
