Notes for packagers

I'm actively optimizing for developer and packager experience, so packaging of Holo and its plugins should be straight-forward.

Dependencies

Run-time dependencies for this repo:

  • git (specifically, the git diff subcommand)
  • openssh (specifically, the ssh-keygen tool)
  • shadow (the package that provides the {user,group}{add,mod,del} tools)

Build-time dependencies for this repo:

  • go
  • perl (for make check, and compiling the manpages)

Configuration files

/etc/holorc and /etc/holorc.d/* should be marked as configuration files.

Caveats

Holo includes several plugins for itself. Since holo-build will also generate dependencies on these, the holo package must have a Provides relation (or whatever this is called in your package format) to holo-files, holo-generators, holo-run-scripts, holo-ssh-keys and holo-users-groups.

Since the results of golangci-lint are known to be unstable over time, esp. between different Go versions, packagers are advised to set the environment variable SKIP_STATIC_CHECK=true when running make check. This setting will skip the potentially unstable checks while still running the vast majority of useful tests.
