Spry DALEC Project Summary

Project Overview

This project provides cross-platform packaging for Spry using DALEC (Declarative Application Lifecycle Engine for Containers). Spry is a declarative web application framework.

What Has Been Created

Core Files

  1. dalec-spry.yaml - DALEC specification file

    • Defines package metadata, sources, build steps, and targets
    • Supports Ubuntu, Debian, and Windows

  2. spry.ts - Main TypeScript entry point for Spry

    • CLI interface for Spry web application framework

  3. import_map.json - Deno import map

    • Downloaded from Spry repository
    • Manages TypeScript dependencies

Build Automation

  1. Makefile - Build automation commands

    • make build-all - Build all packages
    • make build-jammy, make build-bookworm - Platform-specific builds
    • make compile-local - Local Deno compilation
    • make build-windows - Windows package builds
    • make clean - Clean build artifacts

  2. docker-compose.yml - Docker Compose configuration

    • Alternative build method using Docker Compose
    • Separate services for each platform

  3. scripts/release.sh - Release automation script

    • Updates version numbers
    • Creates git tags
    • Prepares releases

CI/CD

  1. .github/workflows/build.yml - Main build workflow

    • Builds packages for all platforms (spry)
    • Creates GitHub releases on version tags
    • Uploads artifacts

  2. .github/workflows/test.yml - Testing workflow

    • Tests DEB packages
    • Tests local Deno compilation on multiple OS
    • Validates package contents

Documentation

  1. README.md - User-facing documentation

    • Installation instructions for all platforms
    • Quick start guide
    • Links to resources

  2. BUILD.md - Build instructions

    • Detailed build process
    • Prerequisites
    • Troubleshooting

  3. QUICKSTART.md - Quick start guide

    • Fast installation for users
    • Quick build for developers
    • Common troubleshooting

  4. ARCHITECTURE.md - Architecture documentation

    • Design decisions
    • Build flow
    • Project structure

  5. CONTRIBUTING.md - Contribution guidelines

    • How to contribute
    • Development setup
    • Pull request process

  6. LICENSE - MIT License

    • Open source license

  7. .gitignore - Git ignore rules

    • Excludes build artifacts
    • Excludes binaries

Supported Platforms

Linux (DEB)

  • ✅ Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy)
  • ✅ Debian 12 (Bookworm)

Windows

  • ✅ Windows x64 (cross-compiled)

macOS

  • ✅ macOS Intel & Apple Silicon (native compilation)

How It Works

  1. DALEC Specification: Defines the package structure and build process
  2. Docker Buildx: Uses BuildKit to build packages for different targets
  3. Deno Compile: Compiles TypeScript to standalone binaries
  4. GitHub Actions: Automates building and releasing packages
  5. Package Managers: Distributes via DEB, RPM, and direct downloads

Build Process

Source Code (TypeScript)
    ↓
Deno Compile
    ↓
Standalone Binary
    ↓
DALEC Packaging
    ↓
Platform-Specific Packages (DEB/RPM/ZIP)
    ↓
GitHub Releases

Key Features

  • 🐳 Docker-based builds - No complex toolchain setup
  • 📦 Multi-platform - Single spec for all platforms
  • 🚀 Automated CI/CD - GitHub Actions integration
  • 🔒 Secure - Supply chain security with DALEC
  • 📝 Well-documented - Comprehensive documentation
  • 🛠️ Easy to use - Simple Makefile commands

Next Steps

For Users

  1. Download packages from GitHub Releases
  2. Install using your package manager
  3. Run spry --help

For Developers

  1. Clone the repository
  2. Run make build-all to build packages
  3. Run make compile-local for local development

For Contributors

  1. Read CONTRIBUTING.md
  2. Fork the repository
  3. Submit pull requests

Testing

The project has been tested with:

  • ✅ Deno runtime execution
  • ✅ Local compilation
  • ⏳ DALEC package builds (requires Docker with BuildKit)
  • ⏳ GitHub Actions workflows (will run on push)
