nxs-build-tools | Tools to create deb and rpm packages for your projects

The nxs-build-tools is built on top of CMake project build system. So if you are already using CMake you may need to make additional settings to resolve possible conflicts.
If you need to place the project source code into separate directory within the project root (e.g. src/), set variable PROJECT_SRC_DIR to appropriate value (see details below).
For projects based on compiled programming languages make sure the binaries located within objs/ directory. Otherwise set variable PROJECT_BIN_DIR to appropriate value (see details below).
After the nxs-build-tools environment is prepared for the project you may build the packages.
Create the package directly from source code
Create the archive from source first and then build the deb or rpm package from this archive (useful for CI).
To make packages directly use the following command either from your project root or using --project-root arg:. where --build-name arg defines the appropriate build name from .proj-settings.yml. This will give you a deb package in the "builds/debian" directory within your project root directory.
This is the more correct way and may be used for following purposes:.
If your project has a separatid builds for different releases of the same OS (e.g. deb packages for Debian 8, Debian 9, Debian 10) and you have original files with same names (e.g. "some-project_0.0.1.orig.tar.xz"), but different md5 hash sum, you will not be able to upload your packages into deb repository. In this case you need to use same original file for every Debian build.
If your project uses CI/CD process (e.g. Gitlab CI). In this case (in addition to case above) you'll be able to make CI/CD process more effective and optimal due to separation into different stages.
