====================

As work progresses, we will add more information on the Lumiera build system.

Replace several "Warning: Website under construction" with appropriate stubs. 2011-02-20 20:24:30 +01:00
Add Debian packaging informations to the documentation 2011-10-14 03:36:36 +02:00			`//Menu: label Build System`
Dependencies: get rid of boost-regexp (see #995) Mostly, std::regexp can be used as a drop-in replacement. Note: unfortunately ECMA regexps do not support lookbehind assertions. This lookbehind is necesary here because we want to allow parsing values from strings with additional content, which means we need explicitly to exclude mismatches due to invalid syntax. We can work around that issue like "either line start, or not one of these characters. Alternatively we could consider to make the match more rigid, i.e we would require the string to conain only the timecode spec to be parsed. 2019-06-24 02:41:02 +02:00			`//Menu: prepend child 'BuildDependencies'`

Release: extensive makeover of Build and Debian documentation On the Website, there is a set of interconnected pages related to compiling from source, the Debian package and our DEB depot. Although these pages have always been superficially kept up-to-date, the overall presentation feels dated and generally not well organized. During the last weeks, I have almost entirely rewritten all those pages, added information about the (now reworked) DEB package, explained the alternate ways to build from a Debian source package (notably the `mk-build-deps` for handling the build dependencies, which effectively the only method which always worked during the last years, since our DEB package was totally outdated) Furthermore, I have tested most of the build steps with the current source trees, repositories and package definition, and finally I have also updated and polished the front-page of our DEB-Depot (-> see commit on the depot-Branch) Wheew ... quite some work done! 2025-11-28 20:23:55 +01:00			`Topics: build -- continuous integration -- packaging`

Build: some further code clean-up and documentation * Simplify some constructs from the Python-3 migration * update copyright, since I did maintain the SCons build continuosly * remove unused method from Buildhelper Furthermore, the documentation page for our build system https://lumiera.org/documentation/technical/build/SCons.html has been reworked, to add a synopsis, some further background information about the internal structure of SCons and about the specific conventions and definitions used for Lumiera 2025-11-25 02:14:21 +01:00			`* link:SCons.html[SCons Buildsystem]`
