This folder contains docker container definitions and configuration files to support building rpm and deb packages of rippled. The container definitions include some additional software/packages that are used for general build/test CI workflows of rippled but are not explicitly needed for the package building workflow.
If you have docker installed on your local system, then the main
CMake file will enable several targets related to building packages:
rpm_container, rpm, dpkg_container, and dpkg. The package targets
depend on the container targets and will trigger a build of those first.
The container builds can take several dozen minutes to complete (depending
on hardware specs), so quick build cycles are not possible currently. As
such, these targets are often best suited to CI/automated build systems.
The package build can be invoked like any other cmake target from the rippled root folder:
mkdir -p build/pkg && cd build/pkg
cmake -Dpackages_only=ON ../..
cmake --build . --target rpm
Upon successful completion, the generated package files will be in
the build/pkg/packages directory. For deb packages, simply replace
rpm with dpkg in the build command above.
