ARM builds for borg binaries

These scripts are used to generate the binaries on borg.bauerj.eu. Everything is just hacked together but if you really want to use these scripts yourself:

Prerequisites

You need to set up at least the following in order to use the scripts:

• SSH access to a system running the target architecture. This could be a real device or a QEMU VM (I use a VM but it's very slow). The systems should run Debian wheezy with:
  • pyenv installed for root
  • build-essential
  • git
• Modify the start and stop commands in build.py if you use something else to start the VMs or don't use VMs.
• Modify the host names and ports in build.py.

This is probably incomplete. If you find something missing, please open a PR.

check_release.py

This script just checks if a binary for the current version already exists. It is used in a systemd timer to start build.py.

build.py

This is used to start the build. You can pass a tag name or commit hash to it to build that instead of the latest tag. It uses systemd to start the VMs and SSH to log into them.

build_on_device.py

As the name suggests, this script runs inside the VM to actually build the binary.
