.rpm packages can now be build with:
gulp vscode-linux-<arch>-build-rpm
The resulting package will be output to ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/<arch>/ and can be
installed on a Red Hat-based distro with:
yum localinstall <path>
Note that Debian systems can build the package after installing the 'rpm'
package:
apt-get install rpm
This was tested building 64-bit on Ubuntu 15.10 and installing on CentOS 7.
Fixes#3595
Build, install and run:
gulp vscode-linux-packages
sudo dpkg -i out-linux/vscode-amd64.deb
code .
Installing the package does the following:
- Puts VSCode dir at /usr/share/code
- Puts code.sh launcher in /usr/bin
- Defines a .desktop file to properly integrate with the launcher
Fixes#2679
This script wraps the main code executable for Linux and OS X, redirecting
output to a file and running in the background. An exception is made when help
or version argument are used, not suppressing the output as the bootstrap.js is
expected to write to stdout and immediately exit.
Fixes#77
