Summary:
This diff removes significant cruft from N1's compilation and build tooling:
- Electron-Packager replaces most of the code in build/tasks/* used to copy things,
bundle things, download electron, etc.
- script/bootstrap has been replaced with a much simpler script that does not use
APM, does not download Electron (we just use electron as an NPM dep) and does
not manully compile sqlite. It requires NPMv3, but I think that's safe.
- babel and eslint are now devDependencies of the main project. The main project
also supports optionalDependencies now.
- npm test and npm start replace ./N1.sh
- APM is still around, and is only put into N1 so it can install plugins at runtime.
It should be removed as soon as we notify package maintainers and have them provide zips.
- N1 no longer has it's own compile-cache or babel/typescript/coffeescript compilers.
It delegates to electron-compile and electron-compilers. Both of these packages had
to be forked and modified slightly, but I'm hopeful the modifications will make it back
in to the projects and you can still consult their documentation for more info.
+ In the near future, I think we should stop shipping electron-compilers with N1. This
would mean that all plugins would need to be compiled on pre-publish, just like NPM
packages, and would complicate the local development story a bit, but would make the
app smaller. electron-compile is not supposed to compile at runtime in the prod app,
just pull from the compile cache.
- I've re-organized Grunt according to Grunt best practices, where each tasks/* file
specifies it's own config and imports grunt tasks.
- Unfortunately, I was not able to use any open source projects for the deb and rpm builds,
because we have things like postinst hooks and start menu items which are not supported
by the electron installer-generators.
WIP
Turn off all LESS compilation, because themes. Doh.
Use Grunt for new build process too, just remove tasks
More changes
Add babel-eslint
Remove unused react-devtools
WIP
Add name
Ignore nonexistent
Switch to more modern approach to config for grunt
Move zipping to mac installer task
Restructure publish task so it aggregates first, can log useful info if publishing is disabled
Fix build dirs
Fix win installer
Fix linux installer
Fix linux installer
Try making linux
