Preliminary release engineering super-repository for building software
to work with the Cryptech "Alpha" board.
Primary task here is to build the PKCS #11 library and any needed
support tools for whichever platforms we support. This will involve
some packaging voodoo.
Our first targets for this are Debian and Ubuntu, probably the Jessie
and Xenial releases, respectively. If we really need to support
multiple releases for each of these platforms, the packaging mechanics
become more complicated, so we may just stop here for these platforms
and assume we can fill any odd corners using the associated source
package.
Our next target for this is likely to be Mac OS X. This should be
relatively straightforward so long as we only have to support Homebrew
and we don't have to produce Homebrew "bottles" (binary packages). If
we do need to bottle, we either need one or more Mac build machines or
we need some kind of cross-compilation scheme (eg,
https://github.com/tpoechtrager/osxcross).
Supporting Homebrew at all requires a bit of extra voodoo on top of
supporting Debian packaging, but none of it looks particularly
difficult, and the Debian packaging will produce the source tarball we
need for the Homebrew formula, so integrating production of these two
kinds of packaging makes some sense.
Windoze is not currently on the radar. In theory, MinGW would suffice
as a cross compiler if and when we have to do something about it.
This README is probably obsolete by the time you're reading it.
