Developer docs

Currently modeled ReaPack version

ReaBoot currently imitates the index interpretation and installation behavior of ReaPack 1.2.4.6.

Development of GUI installer

See Tauri v2 docs for details.

Start frontend and backend

I always start frontend and backend separately because I use different IDEs.

Frontend:

cd gui
npm run dev

Backend:

cd gui
cargo run --bin reaboot-gui

Regenerate TypeScript and JsonSchema type definitions

cargo test

Generate all icons from initial SVG icon

Do this after changing commons/src/reaboot-logo.svg:

1. Rasterize reaboot-logo.svg as 1024x1024 pixel PNG (e.g. using Inkscape)
2. Follow https://tauri.app/v1/guides/features/icons/:

   cd gui
   npm run tauri icon ../commons/src/reaboot-logo.png

3. Copy reaboot-logo.svg into website/src/assets

Publish new version

1. Increase version number in Cargo.toml (workspace.package.version) to X.Y.Z
2. Commit and push
3. git tag vX.Y.Z
4. git push origin vX.Y.Z
5. Wait for release draft to be built via GitHub Actions (https://github.com/helgoboss/reaboot/actions)
6. Publish release draft https://github.com/helgoboss/reaboot/releases
7. Adjust LATEST_REABOOT_VERSION in website project (so that ReaBoot website refers to latest downloads)

Publish website changes

Just push main branch.
