Release Manager

A tool to manage releasing crates with cross-compiled binaries.

In order to cross compile rust, you'll need to make sure you have targets added through rustup, and a native toolchain to handle compiling C dependencies and linking the binaries. Getting these tools set up is outside the scope of this project. See rust-cross for information about cross-compiling rust projects.

Release Manager currently handles the following targets:

• x86_64-pc-windows-gnu configured as [config.Windows.amd64]
• i686-pc-windows-gnu configured as [config.Windows.i686]
• x86_64-apple-darwin configured as [config.Apple.amd64]
• x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu configured as [config.Linux.amd64]
• x86_64-unknown-linux-musl configured as [config.Linux.amd64musl]
• arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf configured as [config.Linux.armh]
• arm-unknown-linux-musleabihf configured as [config.Linux.armhmusl]
• armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf configured as [config.Linux.armv7h]
• armv7-unknown-linux-musleabihf configured as [config.Linux.armv7hmusl]
• aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu configured as [config.Linux.aarch64]

Once you have your cross compile targets set up, create a Release.toml. By default, release-manager expects the release toml to be in your crate's directory. If you wish to keep this file somewhere else, you can pass the -r option to release-manager with a path to the config.

$ release-manager
release-manager 0.1.4
Riley Trautman <riley.trautman@gmail.com>
A utility for creating release binaries for multiple platforms

USAGE:
    release-manager [FLAGS] [OPTIONS]

FLAGS:
    -f, --force                Force recompiling of succeeded builds
    -h, --help                 Prints help information
    -p, --publish              Publish to crates.io on succesfull build
        --skip-dependencies    Don't compile dependencies unless needed
    -V, --version              Prints version information
        --verbose              Print debug info

OPTIONS:
    -r, --release-config <release_config>    Provide an alternative path for the release config
    -s, --status-file <status_file>          Provide an alternative path for the status file

When running release-manager, it will create a Status.toml file in your project's directory. If you wish to put this somewhere else, you can pass the -s option to release-manager. The status file is used to keep track of which builds have succeeded for which versions of the crate, and whether a crate has been published for this version.
