SomberNight 6e472efd5f build: follow-up prev: only use host userid for local dev builds
reproducibility probably needs a hardcoded userid

Also, move the UID arg later in the dockerfiles, for better caching.
(if local dev build and repro build set different UIDs, the build caches
will diverge at that step)

Source tarballs

This file should be reproducible, meaning you should be able to generate distributables that match the official releases.

This assumes an Ubuntu (x86_64) host, but it should not be too hard to adapt to another similar system.

We distribute two tarballs, a "normal" one (the default, recommended for users), and a strictly source-only one (for Linux distro packagers). The normal tarball, in addition to including everything from the source-only one, also includes:

  • compiled (.mo) locale files (in addition to source .po locale files)
  • compiled (_pb2.py) protobuf files (in addition to source .proto files)
  • the packages/ folder containing source-only pure-python runtime dependencies

Build steps

  1. Install Docker

    See contrib/docker_notes.md.

  2. Build tarball

    (set envvar OMIT_UNCLEAN_FILES=1 to build the "source-only" tarball)

    $ ./build.sh
    

    If you want reproducibility, try instead e.g.:

    $ ELECBUILD_COMMIT=HEAD ELECBUILD_NOCACHE=1 ./build.sh
    $ ELECBUILD_COMMIT=HEAD ELECBUILD_NOCACHE=1 OMIT_UNCLEAN_FILES=1 ./build.sh
    
  3. The generated distributables are in ./dist.
