# dobuild

## Introduction
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A major concern when developing and maintaining software, is to achieve reproducibility of builds. This can be
|
||
|
|
especially necessary, when product service contract or warranty requirements enforce backports of bug fixes into
|
||
|
|
previously released versions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As noted by [reproducible-builds.org](https://reproducible-builds.org/docs/):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> Getting reproducible builds for your software might be easier than you think! But it might require small changes
|
||
|
|
> to your build system and a strategy on how to enable others to recreate an environment in which the builds can be
|
||
|
|
> reproduced.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The goal of this project is to support users, editing, building, testing and distributing software, by providing an
|
||
|
|
*easy to install* and *auditable* deterministic build environment based on GNU Make and OCI Containers.

## Embed dobuild in your project using git
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A simple way of referencing dobuild in your standalone project is to use it as git subtree. Using git subtree allows to nest
|
||
|
|
one repository inside another as a sub-directory. It is one of several ways git can manage dependencies between repositories
|
||
|
|
(or projects). For further details refer to [Git subtree: the alternative to Git submodule](https://www.atlassian.com/blog/git/alternatives-to-git-submodule-git-subtree).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Initial Setup
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Change to the root of your standalone project git repository. Ensure repository has no outstanding changes, or reset them
|
||
|
|
(git reset --hard). Adding the subtree as a remote allows you to refer to it in shorter form (dobuild). After adding
|
||
|
|
the remote, add the subtree to a folder e.g. build/dobuild/ selecting a tag or branch e.g. master to clone the content of
|
||
|
|
repository.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
git remote add -f dobuild https://github.com/nosamad/dobuild.git \
|
||
|
|
&& git subtree add --squash --prefix build/dobuild/ dobuild master
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Update changes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To update changes in sub-project dobuild, pull the subtree (build/dobuild/) selecting the branch or tag e.g. master again.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
git fetch dobuild master \
|
||
|
|
&& git subtree pull --squash --prefix build/dobuild/ dobuild master
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Afterwards changes can be freely committed as part of your standalone project repository.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Contribute changes back upstream
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To contribute changes back to the upstream project (dobuild), your need to fork the project and add it as another remote:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
git remote add dobuild-fork https://github.com/<YOURUSER>/dobuild.git
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Afterwards you can use a subtree push to get your changes into your forked repository, in order to open a pull-request.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
git subtree push --prefix=build/dobuild/ dobuild-fork master
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Purge
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Purging a git subtree is also fairly easy - just remove the directory and commit the change. There are no additional config settings to purge unlike known from git submodules.
