# myrelease
==================
myRelease is a Linux script that quickly packages Lazarus(.lpi) project files into deb and rpm packages in batch. It supports multiple CPU architectures and multiple OS platforms (in development). Main features include:
* Automatically generates rpm and deb packages, filling in required information
* Includes i18n translation files
* Includes necessary .icon and .desktop files
* Supports multiple CPU architectures
* Supports multiple OS platforms (in development)
### Compilation
This is a script, no compilation is required.
### Installation
Make sure myrelease.sh has executable permission.
Enter the terminal and run ./myrelease.sh -i
Enter your password when prompted. If not installed, you must include the full path to the script each time you use it.
### Runtime Environment
myrelease requires the following packages/commands:
xmlstarlet, dpkg-deb, rpmbuild, zip, fakeroot
The script will check at runtime and show an error if any are missing.
### Usage
* By default, it packages all projects contained in .lpi files in the current directory, generating rpm and deb packages in the ./dist/ directory. All information is set to default.
~$ cd /your_lazarus_project_dir/
~$ myrelease
* Package a specific .lpi project file, generating rpm and deb packages in ./dist/. All information is set to default.
~$ myrelease -f /your_lazarus_project_dir/project.lpi
* Other parameters:
-o dir Specify output directory (default ./dist/)
-p Format version number as XXXX-XX-XX
-q Quiet mode, minimal output
-z Compress output package files
-k Keep temporary files for debugging
-i Install myrelease to /usr/bin/
-c Clear config file
-v Show version number
-h Show help
* Modify current project/package information:
Edit your_lazarus_project_dir/myrelease.cfg with a text editor. Note: you must have run myrelease at least once in that directory.
* Modify myrelease default information (to avoid editing myrelease.cfg each time):
Edit ~/.config/myrelease/config with a text editor.
* Examples:
The archive includes two sample projects:
- testprjsingle: a default Lazarus blank project
- testprjmulti: a multi-CPU architecture Lazarus blank project, including linux_x86, linux_aarch64, and win_x86
### Known Issues
* Windows platform functionality is incomplete
* rpm group, Debian section, and desktop categories are untested and may cause issues
* Does not support additional programs/libraries
