This directory contains scripts and files to package libsodium for .NET Core.
In .NET Core, it is customary to provide pre-compiled binaries for all platforms
as NuGet packages. The purpose of the `prepare.py` script in this directory is
to generate a `Makefile` that downloads and builds libsodium binaries for a
number of platforms and assembles them in a NuGet package that can be uploaded
to [nuget.org](https://nuget.org/).
* For Windows, binaries are obtained from
[download.libsodium.org](https://download.libsodium.org/libsodium/releases/).
* For macOS, binaries are extracted from the
[Homebrew libsodium bottle](https://bintray.com/homebrew/bottles/libsodium).
* For Linux, libsodium is compiled in Docker containers.
See `prepare.py` for the complete list of supported platforms.
The metadata for the NuGet package is located in `libsodium.props`.
**Making a pre-release**
1. Run `python3 prepare.py 1.0.13-preview-01` to generate the `Makefile`.
`1.0.13` is the libsodium version number; `01` is the pre-release
number and needs to be incremented for each pre-release.
2. Take a look at the generated `Makefile`. It uses `sudo` a few times.
3. Run `make` to download and build the binaries and create the NuGet
package. You may need to install `docker`, `make`, `curl`, `tar` and
`unzip` first. The NuGet package is output as a `.nupkg` file in the
`build` directory.
4. Grab a cup of coffee. Downloading the Docker images and compiling the
Linux binaries takes a while.
5. Verify that everything in the `.nupkg` file is in place.
6. Publish the release by uploading the `.nupkg` file to
[nuget.org](https://nuget.org/).
**Making a release**
1. Run `python3 prepare.py 1.0.13` to generate the `Makefile`.
The remaining steps are the same.
