Instructions to Devlover (a memo to myself) ;)

Here I layed some very usable and common instructions about this project to myself (or another devloper) to do not fail in any of steps.

Setting Version in right way

Do all:
  1. Edit VERSION variable in safebox-gui.py
  2. In README.md file there are few places version numbers + a version banner icon
  3. Edit filevers and prodvers variable in version.rc
  • note: as opensource-system versioning has 3 digits in ver and windows has 4 digits versioning system, I must add a zero(0) at the ending digit. e.g. 1.2.0 to 1.2.0.0. or in another example 1.2.7 to 1.2.7.0

pyInstaller

Making windows executable files:

make GUI .exe in right way:
pyinstaller --onefile --noconsole --add-data "modules;modules" --add-data "setup.py;." --add-data "safebox.py;." --version-file="version.rc" --icon "gui_icon.ico" --name SafeBox_GUI gui.py

Now the CLI .exe in right way:
pyinstaller --onefile --add-data "modules;modules" --add-data "setup.py;." --icon "cli_icon.ico" --version-file="version.rc" --name safebox safebox.py

Making Linux executable files:

make GUI binary for linux in right way:
pyinstaller --onefile --noconsole --add-data="modules:modules" --add-data="setup.py:." --add-data="safebox.py:." --version-file="version.rc" --icon "gui_icon.ico" --name SafeBox_GUI gui.py

make CLI binary for linux in it's right way:
pyinstaller --onefile --add-data="modules:modules" --add-data="setup.py:." --icon "cli_icon.ico" --version-file="version.rc" --name safebox safebox.py

Packing .deb for debian based Linux-OS:

First make directory structure as bellow:

safebox
├── DEBIAN
│   └── control
└── usr
    ├── bin
    │   ├── safebox
    │   └── safebox-gui
    └── share
        ├── applications
        │   └── safebox.desktop
        └── icons
            └── hicolor
                └── 48x48
                    └── apps
                        └── safebox.png

Now safebox/DEBIAN/control file:

Package: safebox
Version: 1.2.0
Section: utils
Priority: optional
Architecture: amd64
Maintainer: S4D0X <faredba@outlook.com>
Description: SafeBox File Security Tool
 A powerful open-source file encryption and decryption tool with GUI.

time for usr/share/applications/safebox.desktop file:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=SafeBox-GUI
Type=Application
Exec=safebox-gui
Icon=safebox
GenericName=Safe File Encryption/Decryption App
Categories=GTK;Utility;Security;
Keywords=safebox;security;encrypt;decrypt;locker;crypto;ssb;s4d0x;sadox;
Comment=Encrypt and decrypt files securely.
StartupNotify=true

make sure the safebox (the cli file), safebox-gui (the gui version) copied to safebox/usr/bin/ and all done as above tree.

packing .deb
sudo dpkg-deb --build safebox

it will deploy safebox.deb then we can share it or can install like dpkg -i safebox.deb

done for now.
