- IRC channel (topic)
- create binary wheels and link them from issue tracker: https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/issues/147
- create standalone binaries and link them from issue tracker: https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/issues/214
Creating binary wheels
----------------------
With virtual env activated::
pip install wheel
python setup.py bdist_wheel
ls -l dist/*.whl
Note: Binary wheels are rather specific for the platform they get built on.
E.g. a wheel built for Ubuntu 14.04 64bit likely will not work on Centos7 64bit.
Creating standalone binaries
----------------------------
With virtual env activated::
pip install pyinstaller==3.0.dev2 # or a later 3.x release
pyinstaller -F -n borg-PLATFORM borg/__main__.py
ls -l dist/*
On less good supported platforms than Linux, there might be issues with pyinstaller
not finding the dynamic python library (libpython*) or with pyinstaller not having
a pre-compiled "bootloader" for the platform or with not supporting the platform at
all.
Note: Standalone binaries built with pyinstaller are supposed to work on same OS,
same architecture (x86 32bit, amd64 64bit) without external dependencies.
