Until now the build and package scripts have supported several architectures, compilers, build types, package-managers, and bit-depth targets. The code might be maintainable if left as-such, however we have plans to continue expanding the number of architectures (ARM, PPC, ... ), operating systems (Android, BSDs, ...), and build variations amung those. The scripts (regardless of language) would only grow in complexity as more variations are added. Thus, we needed a solution that can scale without adding complexity. To achieve this, the scripts were refactored as follows: - all "data" was moved out of code into configuration files - A back-end "Automator" engine was written to parse the data based on generic variables fed to it by a front-end script - build.sh and list-packages.sh were re-authored as thin front-end scripts that drive the automator - Their CLI's were retained so there has been very little change needed to the CI invocation lines. The only changes have been to clarify the existing arguments improved based on feedback, ie: --build-type release, --build-type debug instead of fast, small |
