The EDS is a manually maintained project, rather than an autoconf package or anything structured. The "build" process involves executing a minimization tool written in Java that combines and compresses the Javascript files that make up the software.
There are build scripts for Windows and Unix that will run the minimization tool and generate a file called EDS.zip that can be used for one-off deployments.
The Makefile in the root of the project is similar, but is used to prepare a more traditional ".tar.gz" distribution via make dist
and to perform an installation via make install
.
An RPM specfile is also present. Generating an RPM requires running the make dist
command to obtain the source tarball, and then executing rpmbuild
against it.
The formal release process is as follows:
make dist
against the sources.build.bat
from the build directory and rename the resulting file to match the tarball name except with a .zip extension.To build and publish RPMs:
