Introduction

These are the prerequisites and steps for packaing the Rifidi Edge SDK, Deb, Server Only Zip and Windows Installer

It is best to export the versions in this order for release: 1. Deb 2. Server only 3. Windows Installer 4. SDK

You will need a windows and linux machine (or virtual machine) to export and test. Dropbox is invaluable for this purpose, as it allows you to easily share the files across different machines.


Deb

Prerequisites

1. You need to be on linux to build the Deb. 2. The docs, jars, bundles,info, rifidiserver.ini and rifidi-server linux executable must all be correct before release. Check them all before and after you export the deb or you will need to export it again. 3. bundles.info is very easy to get wrong. Test the deb as soon as you export it for the first time, and make sure all the bundles you are expecting to show up show up with the "ss" command. Debug and fix any that aren't working, fix the bundles.info in the SDK and rebuild.

Steps
