How to run

If you're a dev

Use cargo run, meson devenv is not supported (yet, merge requests are welcome).

If you're a package maintainer

I don't recommend publishing this software in conventional stable releases, I want people to use the latest version due to the volatile nature of a reverse engineering project. An exception is NixOS, even though the quality of many packages are lacking there, people can easily mixin nixpkgs-unstable to receive the latest version.

If you want to package it:

  • wait for a release
  • make sure dependencies are met, cargo auditable and the ones in ./meson.build
  • do to usual meson dance (setup, compile, install). you're distro has probably an abstraction for meson packages, use that if possible.
    • e.g. Alpine Linux has abuild-meson as an wrapper to meson setup to apply distro defaults for a release
    • if you're distro doesn't have support for meson, then don't package this. please. i will write code that breaks running on you're system if you screw up packaging. this comment reflects my opinion to 100%.
