I have been considering manually packaging libhv into RPM and DEB packages for a while. Recently, due to work requirements, I learned about the Infinity project and discovered that CMake can directly use CPack for packaging. By adding just a few descriptive statements in the CMakeLists.txt file, RPM, DEB, and TGZ packages can be generated in the build directory by executing the
cpack
command. These packages can be placed in the Release section, allowing users to install and use libhv easily through their package manager, eliminating the need for manual compilation.Users can download the packages. For example, on Fedora/RHEL/CentOS/OpenSUSE systems:
After installation, users can utilize the libhv headers and libraries for development.
I would be sincerely grateful if you could review this PR and provide any feedback or suggestions for improvement. Thank you for your time and attention.
