An RPM package is now generated as part of the Linux packaging script.
The packaging script can be run on any Debian or Redhat based
system and will generate both a deb and rpm package.
Resolves https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/issues/401
The 64bitBuild.sh script has been renamed to package.sh and has
been updated so that it is capable of performing the complete packaging
process without having to rely on the jar first being built and prepped
from the MacOS scripts. However, it does support having the jar
previously built and prepped and will look for a prepped jar in the
desktop/package folder. If not found, it will build and prep it
prior to packaging.
Additionally, the Bruntime option passed to javapackager is unnecessary and
has been removed. The Bruntime option is valid only when the -native
option is set to jnlp.
Also, the prepare-system.sh script was removed as it did not appear to be
doing anything useful.
Finally, a release.sh script has been added that will perform the
release process of copying necessary files to a versioned release folder
and generating/verifying signatures. Windows and MacOS packaged installers
should be copied to their appropriate package folders prior to
executing this script if they are to be included in this release
process, otherwise only the Linux files will be included.
- Increase the minimum supported OS version to Windows 7 with SP1.
Previously it was Windows XP which has been EOL for some time now.
Hopefully no one is still using Windows XP.
- Show a final dialog once the install has completed. This will inform
the user that the install has completed with an option to launch the
application. Previously it would skip this final dialog and immediately
launch the application, but the user may not want to launch it
immediately.
- Create an application shortcut on the user's desktop.
- Check if the application is running prior to install or uninstall and
abort with a prompt to the user that the application must first be
closed.
- German, French, and Spanish translations. The installer should
auto-detect the OS language and display all text in the appropriate
language. For now I have just added a couple languages, but it is very
easy to add any of the other languages supported by Inno Setup.
- Additionally, I removed a few unnecessary items that weren't being
utilized such as installing a service.
The 64bitBuild.bat script has been renamed to package.bat and has
been updated so that it is capable of performing the complete packaging
process without having to rely on the jar first being built and prepped
from the MacOS scripts. However, it does support having the jar
previously built and prepped and will look for a prepped jar in the
desktop/package folder. If not found, it will build and prep it
prior to packaging the executable.
Additionally, some unnecessary options that were being passed to
javapackager.exe have been eliminated such as BappVersion and Bruntime.
AppVersion is now being passed via environment variables and the
Bruntime option is valid only when the -native option is set to jnlp.
The Bisq.iss file was changed so it no longer needs to be updated with
AppVersion every time as it is being passed from package.bat via
environment variables. Also, AppCopyrightYear does not need to be
updated as it is determined automatically. A few other options were
added or tweaked as well.
Finally, a release.bat script has been added that will perform the
release process of copying necessary files to a versioned release folder
and generating/verifying signatures. Linux and MacOS packaged installers
should be copied to their appropriate package folders prior to
executing this script if they are to be included in this release
process, otherwise only the Windows files will be included.
The MacOS and Linux packaging scripts should be reviewed and updated
accordingly.
