nannou_package

A simple tool for packaging nannou project builds.

This tool is useful for packaging nannou projects into a named and dated architecture-specific archive for distribution. The nannou_package tool does the following:

1. Finds the parent Cargo.toml directory.
2. Finds the latest target/release/.
3. Creates a "builds" directory in the project root.
4. Creates "/name-arch-os-yyyymmdd-hhmmss/" inside "builds".
5. Copies the /target/release/ into the new directory.
6. Copies the assets directory into this new directory if it exists.
7. Zips the entire new directory.
8. Removes the new directory.

Install the nannou_package tool with the following:

cargo install nannou_package

Use the tool by changing to the project directory, running nannou_package and following the prompts. NOTE that the project must be built before running nannou_package, otherwise there will be no executable to package. In other words one of the following two commands must be run before packaging:

• cargo build --release
• cargo run --release
