emacs-build

My scripts for building emacs and emacs-in-docker.

./build DEBIAN_RELEASE EMACS_RELEASE

if DEBIAN_RELEASE is local, build EMACS_RELEASE on host. This works if the host is running debian, otherwise you'll need to modify the scrips, mainly ./scripts/install_dependencies. When building locally, we assume having write access to /usr/local. We keep sources in /usr/local/emacs_sources, we build in /usr/local/emacs_build and install the final emacs in /usr/local/emacs_dist.

otherwise builds Emacs in a docker container using DEBIAN_RELEASE as a base image. I think I used over time stretch, buster and bullseye, but I haven't tried to keep the list of dependencies back compatible.

EMACS_RELEASE can be a released version, like 27.2. Or a release candidate like 27.2-rc1. Or the special 'master' that downloads and compiles the bleeding edge head of the master branch

--with-native-compilation is hardcoded for master. If you want a non-native build of master you'll need to edit the scripts.

The run scripts allow you to run the docker image with your home directory mounted. User ID and group ID there is hardcoded to 1000:1000, I should do a better job at it
