Implement workflow for local development #41

Closed TheAssassin closed 1 month ago

TheAssassin commented 1 month ago

I have many problems with the current build system. The main drawback however is that one cannot just develop this on a local workstation. The scripts mix the installation of dependencies with the actual build and they expect the environment to be reset every time, however do not build in a temporary directory. They also install stuff into the system environment.

I would at least add a Docker-based ephemeral build environment to

a) save us from reinstalling everything every time (i.e., cache the dependencies in the image) b) spin up a container per build, ensuring clean builds

I could also imagine changing the Makefile to no longer hard-depend on libsquashfuse etc. installed in the system.

Can we have a separate, optional build system for local development, but keep the one used on the build server untouched?

Implemented by #45.
